Overview

This document is an owner's manual for a Polygroup Summer Waves Filter Pump, specifically covering the RX series models (RX-600, RX-1000, and RX-1500).

Function Description:

The Polygroup Summer Waves Filter Pump is designed to circulate and filter water in above-ground/on-ground residential swimming pools, ensuring water clarity and hygiene. It uses a filter cartridge system to remove debris and impurities from the pool water. The pump also features a built-in chlorine dispenser, allowing for automatic chlorination of the pool water when used with appropriate filter cartridges. The system is designed for easy assembly, operation, and maintenance, with clear instructions provided for setup, troubleshooting, and part replacement.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual provides power information for the different RX series models:

  • RX-600: 65 watts, 1.7 amps
  • RX-1000: 105 watts, 1.4 amps
  • RX-1500: 175 watts, 3.1 amps

All units require a minimum of 105 V.A.C. to start and run properly and are designed for 120 V.A.C. - 60 Hz operation. The pumps are double-insulated and grounded, with ETL control numbers 4000608 and 4006317.

The filter cartridges are specified:

  • Type D Filter Cartridge (P581041037PR): Used for RX-600 only, holds up to 2 of 1" diameter chlorine tablets.
  • Type A/C Filter Cartridge (P581041080PR): Used for RX-1000 and RX-1500, holds up to 6 of 1" diameter chlorine tablets. A central core mesh divider is required in the filter cartridge for the chlorine dispenser function.

Usage Features:

  • Easy Setup: The manual provides step-by-step instructions for installing the suction and return fittings, connecting hoses, and venting the system to release trapped air.
  • Chlorine Dispenser: The filter pump is equipped with a patented chlorine dispenser integrated into the filter cartridge system, allowing for automatic and continuous chlorination of the pool water. Users are warned against using powdered chlorine, shock treatment, or other chemicals in the dispenser.
  • Thermal Protection: The pump motor is protected by a thermal switch that automatically shuts off the pump if it overheats and restarts once it cools down, preventing damage and prolonging service life.
  • Water Circulation Adjustment: The return fitting diverter can be adjusted to maximize pool water circulation, aiding in efficient filtration.
  • Safety Guidelines: Extensive safety warnings are provided, covering drowning prevention (e.g., constant supervision, barriers, emptying pool when not in use), electrical shock prevention (e.g., grounding, GFCI outlets, minimum distances from electrical outlets, avoiding extension cords), and entrapment avoidance (e.g., keeping away from drains and suction fittings, ensuring covers are intact).
  • Chemical Maintenance: Emphasizes the importance of daily pH and chlorine level checks (recommended pH 7.3-7.8, chlorine 1.0-1.6 ppm) and regular superchlorination. Users are advised to test pool water with a local pool chemical supplier for analysis.
  • Storable Pool Use: The pump is specifically designed for use with storable pools, which can be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled. It is not intended for permanently-installed pools.

Maintenance Features:

  • Filter Cartridge Cleaning and Replacement: Detailed instructions are provided for cleaning filter cartridges by pressure washing with a garden hose and for soaking them in a solution to remove oils, algae, or mineral deposits. Regular replacement of filter cartridges with genuine Polygroup® SUMMER WAVES™ filter cartridges is recommended.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive guide helps users diagnose and resolve common issues such as motor failure, slow water flow, poor cleaning performance, and water leakage.
  • Rotor Replacement: Step-by-step instructions are included for disassembling the pump to access and replace the rotor assembly, volute cover, and other internal components.
  • Disassembly and Storage: Instructions are given for disassembling the filter pump for cleaning and storage, including lubricating O-rings and storing parts in an airtight plastic bag, especially when temperatures are expected to fall below 32°F (0°C).
  • Parts List: A detailed parts list with item numbers, descriptions, and SAP numbers for each RX series model facilitates ordering replacement parts.
  • Customer Service: Contact information (844) 252-9983, Mon-Fri, 8 AM-5 PM MST) is provided for assistance with any problems, with extended operating days and hours during peak season.
