Long Term Storage - Intex Krystal Clear 638G 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 the transformer power cord is not plugged into the electrical socket.
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 the filter housing collar (13) and threaded cover (3).
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 and in a clockwise
direction rescrew the housing collar (13) onto the filter housing.
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.
5. Remove the nozzle and strainer unions from the pool wall. Place the wall 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.
