Setup Instructions; Maintenance - Intex 126702GN Manual

Be sure you have access to water to fill the pool and chemicals for the water.
IMPORTANT: This filter pump is shipped with the air release valve (1) open (open the air
release valve if necessary). DO NOT replace the air release valve until you reach STEP #8.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in air trapped inside filter housing; the motor
will run dry, be noisy and malfunction.
1. Assemble above-ground-pool first. Carefully follow the pool's installation instructions.
2. Place the filter pump the length of the hose away from the pool wall where the lower black
protruding hose connection is "sticking-out". Ensure the filter pump is accessible at all time for
service and maintenance.
3. Insert the nozzle union (9 & 10) into the upper protruding hose connections, and then attach
the pool inlet air adaptor (16) to the upper protruding fitting. Screw the air jet valve (15) over
the pool inlet air adaptor (16). Then insert the strainer union (9 & 11) into the lower protruding
hose connections. The hoses (8) fit over the strainers inserted into the connections.
4. There are two hoses to be connected to the filter pump hose connections. With hose clamps (7),
fasten one of the hoses (8) to the lower protruding hose connection (marked "+" on the pool
liner) and to the upper pump connection (marked "+").
5. Connect the second hose to the pool inlet air adaptor (16) and to the lower pump connection.
Make sure all the hose clamps (7) are tight. NOTE: Make sure the air jet valve (15) is securely
tighten onto the pool inlet air adaptor (16) and facing up.
6. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the threaded filter housing collar (12) from the filter
housing. Grasp and remove the housing cover (3). Check to see if a cartridge is inside the
housing. If yes, replace the cover, finger tighten the housing collar (12) back onto the filter
housing.
7. Fill the pool to a level of at least 1-2 inches above the top connection. The water will
automatically flow down into the pump.
8. When water starts flowing out of the air release valve hole, screw in the air release valve back
into the filter housing cover. Do not over tighten the valve. NOTE: Venting the system is
necessary for air to escape as the filter housing fills with water.
9. Connect the filter pump to the power outlet. The filter pump is now filtering the water.
Risk of electric shock. Connect this product only to a grounding type
receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or
residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician if you
cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI/RCD. Use a
qualified electrician to install the GFCI/RCD, which has a maximum rate
of 30mA. Do not use a portable residual current device (PRCD).
10. Operate the filter pump until the desired water clarity is obtained.
NOTE: Never put pool chemicals directly into the filter pump. This may damage the pump and
void the warranty.
It is essential to change any damaged element or set of elements as soon as possible. Use
only parts approved by the manufacturer.
To inspect and change the filter cartridge, disconnect line cord, unscrew the pool inlet nozzle (10)
and strainer grid (11) from the strainer connectors and insert the hat-like plugs into the strainer
connectors before servicing the filter. After service, open the air release valve, remove the plugs,
allow any air to escape through the valve before tightening the valve again and replace the pool
inlet nozzle (10) and strain grid (11). The pump is now primed with water again and may be turned
on.
