SYSTEM SET-UP 1. Remove system from carton - Do not lift by piping. Place system base on level spot near pool skimmer with good drainage. 2. Install pressure gauge and air release valve (Key Nos. 1 and 2, Page 19) on filter lid assembly.

Piping: Use Teflon tape, Plasto-Joint Stik* or RTV #732** on threaded connections of plastic pipe and fittings (except unions). Do not use pipe compounds on plas- tic pipe or fittings; it may cause stress cracking of plastic components. Use 1-1/2" pipe to minimize flow restriction. If flex hose is used, use the type with smooth internal walls.

ELECTRICAL To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to motor before working on electrical connections. Plug the System into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) pro- tected receptacle on a 115 Volt, 60 Hertz grounded circuit only. GFCI tripping indicates an electrical problem.
OPERATION To avoid explosion and possible severe or fatal injury, filter system pressure must not exceed 50 PSI (345 kPa) under any circumstances. NEVER test this filter system with compressed air. Never operate system with water temperature above 110°F (43°C). Do not block pump suction! To do so with body across pool skimmer or pool suction fitting may cause severe or fatal injury.
Water Maintenance: Keep water level at least two inches above bottom of skimmer opening when system is not in use. Failure to do so can allow air to enter system, causing pump to lose prime and filter to entrap air Maintain pH at 7.2 to 7.6 in pool.

FILTER DISASSEMBLY Releasing either clamp with pressure on system will cause tank or tank head to blow off of base, causing severe injury or major property damage! NEVER adjust, tighten or loosen either “V” band clamp when tank is under pressure! Filter Disassembly: 1.

PUMP SERVICE Removing Old Seal: 1. Disconnect power to pump motor. 2. Close suction and discharge valves. 3. Drain pump; disconnect unions to allow access to pump. Figure 12 4. Remove six bolts holding front plate to seal plate; remove front plate 5.
STORAGE/WINTERIZING Store pool chemicals away from system in a well-ventilated area, to prevent damage from corrosive fumes. Do not add chemicals to pool directly in front of skimmer or pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump, valve or filter and will void the warranty.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE – PUMP Read and understand safety and operating instructions in this manual before doing any work on pump! A. PUMP DOES NOT OPERATE 1. Check GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) for proper operation ac- cording to GFCI manufacturer’s instructions. 2.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE A. Short Cycle: NOTICE: Time between cleanings will vary with each installation and be- tween different areas of the country. The following causes and remedies are for cycle times shorter than normal for your area. 1. Chlorine residual too low; maintain proper residual (consult pool pro- fessional for recommendation).
