SECTION I. PUMP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they
are closely supervised at all times.
3. WARNING - Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect 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.
4. Do not bury the electrical cord. Locate the cord to minimize the abuse from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers, and other equipment.
5. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
6. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use an extension cord to connect unit
to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
7. CAUTION - For continued protection against possible electrical shock, this unit is to be mounted
to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
SECTION II. HOW YOUR FILTER WORKS
Your cartridge filter is designed to produce clear, sparkling water and operate for years with a minimum of
maintenance when installed, operated and maintained in accordance with these instructions.
Your filter uses a cartridge element to remove dirt particles from the water. Dirt is collected in the filter by
the cartridge element as water flows through the filter. Water enters the filter through the filter inlet port
and is distributed evenly through the cartridge element. The dirt is removed by the cartridge fabric and the
clean water flows through the filter outlet port and is returned to the pool through the piping or hoses.
After a period of time, dirt will accumulate in the filter causing a resistance to the flow of water through the
filter. This resistance results in a diminished flow of water and a rise in the filter pressure. Eventually the
filter will have removed so much dirt and the filter pressure risen to such a point that it will be necessary to
clean your filter, see SECTION VI. CLEANING FILTER.
The filter’s function is to remove suspended matter from the water and does not sanitize the water. For
sparkling clear water, the water must be sanitized as well as balanced. Pool chemistry is a specialized area,
and you should consult your local pool service specialist for specific details. In general, proper pool
sanitation requires a free chlorine level of 1 to 2 PPM and a PH range of 7.2 to 7.6.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, Only connect to a GFCI protected receptacle. Failure to
do so could result in an electrical shock to pool users, installers, or others which can result in
serious personal injury or death.
