FILTER PUMP OPERATION
IMPORTANT! Your filter pump is protected by a thermal switch. The switch senses the temperature of the filter pump. If it gets too hot, the switch will stop the
pump from running until it cools off. It will automatically turn back on when the filter pump has cooled down. This is a safety device to prevent pump damage and prolong
service life. If your pump is automatically turning off, it is because of high pool water temperature and/or low water flow through the pump. If this happens you need to
check the water flow and correct it if needed, as this filter pump uses the water flow for cooling. You may also want to run the pump at night when the temperature is lower.
PUMP MOTOR PROTECTION
1. Unplug the Power Filter Pump. Remove the Flow Diverter 3 ,Suction
Fitting Screen 2 and Suction Fitting Base 1 from the Return Fitting and
Suction Fitting and flow plug with Plug 4 .
2. To depressurize the Filter Pump system, vent the filter pump by twisting
the Vent Screw 8 counter-clockwise.
3. Use both hands to twist off the Seal Top 10 by turning counter-clockwise.
Remove the Filter Cartridge 14 .
4. After you are finished cleaning the filter cartridge, liberally lubricate the
GASKET 11 with petroleum jelly and re-assemble in reverse order.
Before restarting the filter pump, be sure to remove the RF PLUG 4 .
5. The filter cartridge can be cleansed of coarse dirt and debris by pressure
washing inside and out with a garden hose, making sure to wash between
all pleats. Fine particles of dirt are more easily removed from the filter
pleats when the cartridge is dry. Therefore, after hosing the cartridge,
allow the filter to dry and carefully brush, but do not scrub the pleated
surface areas. Cleaning and scrubbing a filter too vigorously will also wear
out the cartridge much faster than if it is simply hosed off correctly.

1. Plug the pump to a properly grounded receptacle at least 15 feet (4.5m) away from the pool.
2. Check the return fitting on the inside of the pool for correct flow; it should feel like a solid stream of water returning to the pool. You can use the return flow as a
gauge to determine when the filter needs cleaning or replacement. If you feel a reduction in flow, clean or replace filter.
3. Test water and adjust as needed, read - “POOL WATER CARE”. VERY IMPORTANT– FILTER PUMP ALONE WILL NOT PREVENT ALGAE FROM GROWING IN
POOL WATER; THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY MAINTAINING PROPER CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS AT ALL TIMES!
4. The filter cartridge may need to be cleaned and/or replaced several times at start up until the correct chlorine and pH levels are attained. We recommend that you
keep at least one spare filter cartridge on hand at all times. Filter cartridges may be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from Polygroup
®
.
5. To turn off the filter pump, unplug the transformer power cord.
