Long Term Storage - Intex Krystal Clear 638R Owner's Manual

CLEANING OR REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGES
It is recommended that the filter cartridge be replaced at least
every 2 weeks.
1. Make sure filter pump is not operating. Disconnect line cord.
2. To prevent water from escaping the pool, unscrew the pool inlet nozzle (10)
and strainer grid (11) from the strainer connectors and insert the hat-like plugs
into the strainer connectors.
3. In a counter-clockwise motion, remove threaded cover (3) and cover seal (4).
Be careful not to lose the cover seal (4).
4. Remove filter cartridge (5) to clean it. The filter may be cleaned from the spray
from a water hose.
5. Use judgement as to whether cartridge needs to be replaced.
6. Return cartridge to filtering position.
7. Return the seal (4) and threaded cover (3) to their original positions. Tighten
the threaded cover (3) by hand only, twisting it in a clockwise direction.
8. 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 strainer grid (11). The pump is now primed with water
again and may be turned on.
1. Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the
water is directed towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the
house. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of
swimming pool water.
2. Now, drain the pool.
3. When the pool is empty, disconnect all pool hoses (8) from the pool and filter
pump, simply reverse the set up instructions.
4. Remove the filter cartridge as shown in the Filter Cartridge Cleaning section,
steps 2 thru 4.

plugs into the hose connections. Loosen clamps (7) securing the strainer
connectors (9) before removal.
6. Drain water from the filter pump housing.
7. Leave filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
8. Depending on the cartridge (5) usage, a new cartridge may be needed for next
season, keep a spare available.
9. Cover the seal (4), air release valve O-ring (2) and hose seals (6) with
petroleum jelly to preserve its resilience during storage.
10. Store the unit and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature should
be controlled, between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104
degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) storage location.
11. The original packing can be used for storage.
