IMPORTANT! Your pump is protected by a thermal overload. This device senses the temperature of the
pump and if it is getting too hot, it will open the electric circuit and the pump will stop running until it cools
off. It will automatically turn back on when it has cooled down. This is a safety device to help prevent exces-
sive pump damage. 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 water flow through the filter
and correct it if needed as this pump uses the water flow for cooling. You may also want to run the pump at
night when the temperature is lower.
Should you encounter any problems, contact the Customer Service at (888) 919-0070.

NOTE - The Power Filter will be in four sections: a pump; filter assembly; hardware bag; and return hose.
A. First, Locate the filter assembly, remove the Lock Top (11), Strainer Basket (10), and Filter Cartridge (9) from
the assembled Filter Case. Locate the mounting location for the power filter on the Pool Wall (32). Install one
Gasket (22) over the four alignment pins on the skimmer canister (8) and place it up to the outside pool wall
inserting the four alignment pins through the four large holes in pool wall. Now leaning against the Skim-
mer to hold it in place add the inside gasket (22) over the pins on the inside of the pool wall. Now place the
Face Plate (23) over the alignment pins. Place the Hex Head Screws (24) into the holes. Start all the Hex
Head Screws one and a half turns each. Then proceed in tightening them in equal turns each in sequence
around the Face Plate until all are equally tight and you have a good even seal. Warning! Be sure not to over
tighten them, you just need a water tight seal.
B. Now lubricate the pump O-ring with petroleum jelly (not provided). Hold the Skimmer Canister (8) securely,
and insert motor pump so that the outlet on the volute housing extends out of the opening in the side of
the filter case as shown in Fig. 2. Insert the motor pump until the two ribs on the inlet of the volute housing
protrude through the bottom of the filter case. Reach down inside the canister and place the Pump Retain-
ing Nut (7) over the top of the volute housing inlet as shown in Fig. 2. Twist
the Nut (7) clockwise until it is snug.
C. Locate the Pool Wall Fitting assembly parts (15-21). Lubricate the black
Wall Fitting Gasket (16) with petroleum jelly and install it over the
threads on the Pool Wall Fitting (15). Insert the pool wall fitting with
the gasket through the hole in the wall from the inside of the pool.
Place the Thrust Washer (17) over the pool wall fitting and then
thread the Wall Fitting Nut (18) onto the fitting until it is hand tight.
DO NOT over tighten the wall fitting nut or wrinkle the pool wall
around the Wall Fitting Thrust Washer (17) or Wall Fitting Gasket (16).
Now apply some petroleum jelly to the thread of the Elbow 90° (19)
and install the elbow into the wall fitting assembly. Install the Diverter
Fitting (20) and Locking Ring (21) onto the wall fitting.
D. Get the Return Hose (13) and remove the two Hose Clamps (14) from the hardware bag. Loosen the hose
clamps and slide them over the end of the hose. It is recommended to lubricate the O-Rings (12) on the
Volute Housing and on the Elbow (19) before installing the hose (13). Install the hose on the pump volute
housing and on the Elbow (19). Tighten both of the Hose Clamps (14). See Fig. 3.
E. Place the Filter Cartridge (9) and the Strainer Basket (10) back into the
Skimmer Canister (8). It is important that the Filter Cartridge (9) slips
over the Pump Retaining Nut (7) and seals at the bottom of the canister
so that the Strainer Basket (10) will seat in it’s groove inside the canister.
See Fig. 4. Place the Lock Top (11) on top of the Skimmer Canister (8)
and lock it in place by turning it clockwise until it is locked. Push the
Weir Foam Pad (25) into the Weir (26) and under the tabs, to hold it in
place. Take the Weir (26) and slide it into the grooves from inside the
pool. See Fig. 4. Once the weir is pushed inside the grooves, flip it over
as shown by the Arrow #2 in Fig. 4, to lock it in place. NOTE: The weir
can ONLY be pushed into the grooves as shown by Arrows #1 in Fig. 4,
by holding it horizontal. Be sure the weir moves freely through the
opening, if not carefully trim away any obstructing material to allow the weir to move freely.
F. After the pool is filled, SEE (WATER LEVEL FIG. 4) check the hose connections and fittings to make sure there
is no water leakage. If any leaks are found, see #4 in the Trouble Shooting guide on page #8.

NOTE:
When Pump needs servicing or working on Return Hose (13), turn off power and install the Service Plug
(30) into Pool Wall Fitting (15) after removing Locking Ring (21) and Diverter Fitting (20). Also install a
Service Plug (30) into center hole of the Skimmer Canister (8) after removing the Pump Retaining Nut (7).
See FIG. 1. When service is complete remove both Service Plugs (30) reversing the procedures above.
