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. To restart the pump press the reset button on the GFCI 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

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.
4. Test water and adjust chemicals 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!
5. 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
®
at polygroupstore.com.
6. To turn off the filter pump, press the test button and unplug the GFCI power cord .

1. Turn off & unplug the Filter Pump. Remove the RF Diverter 7 from the Return
Fitting 6 and plug with the RF Plug 8 . Hand tighten the SF Cap
5 onto the Suction Fitting 2 .
2. To depressurize the Filter Pump system, vent the filter pump by twisting
the Vent Screw 12 counter-clockwise.
3. Use both hands to twist off the Seal Top 14 by turning counter-clockwise.
Remove the Filter Cartridge 20 .
4. After you are finished cleaning the filter cartridge, liberally lubricate the
GASKET 16 with petroleum jelly and re-assemble in reverse order.
Before restarting the filter pump, be sure to remove the RF PLUG 8
and SF CAP 5 .
5. The filter cartridge can be cleansed of coarse dirt and debris b y 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.
