5. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The lter pump is self-priming as long as it is positioned at least 7 to 8 inches below the highest
water level of the lower hose connection. An air relief valve is located on the top of the pump. Turn
the valve knob counter-clockwise, allowing air to escape from the tank. When a small amount of water
escapes, close immediately. The pump is now completely primed.
2.
CAUTION! Never operate the lter pump dry. This can cause damage to pump seals resulting in
leakage and/or ooding. Dry running damage is not covered by the warranty.
3. Prior to each use, check to ensure that all hose-clamps are tightened.
4. The lter pump must operate in the upright, vertical position.
5. The lter pump must be positioned on level, stable ground.
6. To keep the pool ltered properly, your pump should be run approximately 4 to 6 hours per day.
Overuse may cause overheating and/or motor burnout. Use good judgment on extremely hot days.
7.
DO NOT run the lter pump continuously for an extended period of time.
6. CLEANING & REPLACEMENT
1. The lter media in your pump lter system should be inspected and cleaned or replaced when dirty
or at least at the start of each new season.
2. Periodical cleaning of your lter media can enhance the effectiveness of your lter pump and
prolong the lter media’s lifespan prior to replacement.
3.
WARNING! Always disconnect the power to the unit when cleaning or changing the lter media.
4. Cleaning or changing the lter media:
• Plug the intake tting on the side of the pool or if equipped with a shut off valve, close it to
prevent water from escaping from the lter tank when you remove the lter canister cover.
• Turn the air relief screw to release the air suction inside.
• Remove the lter canister cover and the lter chamber rubber gasket.
• Remove the dirty lter media and the black foam screen from the lter canister.
• Rinse dirt and debris from the black foam screen and return to the lter canister.
• Rinse and clean the lter media or replace with a new lter media and return to the lter
canister on top of the black foam screen.
• Reassemble the lter canister cover, remove the wall plug and open the shut off valve to
allow water to enter the lter pump until water comes out of the air relief screw. Then, tighten
the air relief screw.
5. Now, reconnect the lter pump to the power supply and resume ltering operation.
