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. It is recommended that you run the pump at night or early morning when the temperature is lower to prevent
overheating.
FILTER CARTRIDGE CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT
1. First, turn off & unplug the Pump. Then remove the Top Cover
Remove the Strainer Basket
2. Basic Cleaning: Clean the filter cartridge by throughly pressure
washing inside and out with a garden hose. Allow a few hours for
the filter to fully dry and CAREFULLY BRUSH the pleats to avoid
damaging the filter cartridge. 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.
3. To remove tough oils (e.g. suntan lotion, body oils, etc...) it is
recommended to soak cartridge in a 1 lb. trisodium phosphate
solution (TSP or any other strong detergent) to 5 gallons water for
up to 12 hrs. Rinse cartridge to remove dirt. To remove algae, add
1/2 pint of pool chlorine or 1 pint of liquid household bleach to the
cleaning solution above. Leave the cartridge in the solution for 1
hour then thoroughly rinse before reuse.
4. Excessive calcium and/or mineral deposits may build up on a filter
cartridge and should be handled differently. Contact your local pool supply
store to ask about additional filter cartridge cleaners or treatment for
calcium or mineral deposits. Check pool chemistry for high pH or alkalinity;
this may cause a calcium or mineral build-up.
5. Replace filter cartridge in canister, replace strainer basket replace top cover.
6. A Spare "stand by" Filter Cartridge 7 is an excellent investment. It provides a convenient way to
continue filtration of your pool while cleaning or replacing a dirty Filter Cartridge 7. Also, a well
maintained, clean cartridge assures you that your filter will always be ready to operate at peak efficiency.
7. Filter cartridges may be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from Polygroup
at polygroupstore.com. Always replace with genuine Polygroup
1. Check and adjust pH and chlorine levels daily using required chemicals. See Section "POOL WATER CARE" or contact your local pool store.
2. Check filter pump output daily. If flow is reduced, see Symptom 2 in Section "TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE".
3. Check filter pump, hoses and fitting for leaks. If a leak is found, see Symptom 4 in Section "TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE".
4. Run the pump for the recommended number of hours daily. If you are unsure of the time frame please refer to support.polygroupstore.com for the
recommended "Pump Operation Hours" bases on pool types and sizes.
