OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure the filter pump is switched off. The switch is located on the motor housing.
2. Connect the power cord to a GFCI protected electrical outlet. Note: If the End of Life (EOL) indicator on the GFCI plug is flashing, do not use the product. Disconnect the product and have the GFCI plug replaced by a qualified electrician before using.

Risk of electric shock. Connect this product only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.

To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger valve (connected inlet hose) first and then the upper plunger valve (connected outlet hose). Open the air release valve, wait until water starts to flow out of the air release valve, close air release valve.

3. Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valve, allowing water to flow into the filter pump.
4. With water flowing into filter pump, the water pressure will allow the air trapped inside to escape from the air release valve (2). When all the air has escaped water will flow out of the valve (2). When this occurs gently finger tighten the valve (2) in a clockwise direction.
5. To operate the filter pump on "TIMER" mode:
   1. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet and set the timer dial to the desired operating hours(see Fig. 10). See the "Operating Time Table" for the required operating hours related to each pool size.
   2. The filter pump is now filtering the water and will stop after the operating hours are completed. The built-in timer will now operate for the number of hours selected at the same time each day.
   3. Operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Follow step A – B.

To operate the filter pump manually (without the "TIMER" mode):

1. Turn on the pump by setting the dial to " " position, the filter pump is now filtering the water.
2. To turn off the pump, set the dial to " " position.
   
   FIG 10

6. Never put pool chemicals directly into the filter pump. This may damage the pump and void the warranty.

OPERATING TIME TABLE

This table shows the required operating time for average use of the filter pump with AGP's. The filter pump running time should be 1 hour longer than the required operating time of the Saltwater System.

CLEANING OR REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGES

It is recommended that the filter cartridge be replaced at least every 2 weeks.

1. Make sure the filter pump is turned off, then disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Turn both plunger valve handles fully clockwise until they stop. This closes the valve, prevents the water from flowing out of the pool.
3. Gently turn the top air release valve once or twice in a counter-clockwise direction. The housing cover can now be easily removed.

   2. With a bucket of water or a garden hose pour water into the housing flushing out the sediment.
   3. Screw back the sediment valve(2) in a gentle clockwise motion. Do not over-tighten.
9. Place a new cartridge filter in the housing.
10. Return the housing cover (4) to its position and in a clockwise direction rescrew the housing collar (1) onto the filter housing.
11. Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valve, allowing water to flow into the filter pump.
12. When the trapped air has escaped through the air release valve gently retighten the valve (2) in a clockwise direction.
13. Reconnect the power cord.
14. Turn on the pump.

POOL CARE & CHEMICALS

• All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With proper chemical control, your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your pool supply dealer for instructions regarding the proper use of chlorine, algaecide and other chemical agents required for sparkling clear water.
• Keep pool chemicals away from children.
• Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations could occur.
• Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and can not be overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH levels are required when filling the pool as well as during the season. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra water additives and extra filter changes. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• Keep spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks.
• Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play in the pool and splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the pool liner will be destroyed. Note that some types of grass may grow through the liner.
• Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with various run times so as to produce clean clear water.

Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow the chemical manufacturer's directions, and the health and hazard warnings.

LONG TERM STORAGE
