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. Switch off the unit, and disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.

3. When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from pump and plunger valves and remove the

strainers/plunger valves from the pool wall.

4. In a counter clockwise motion unscrew the drain valve cap (9) from the drain valve to

thoroughly drain the tank. The drain valve is located at the bottom of the filter tank.

5. Disassemble the pump motor from the tank base.

6. Leave sand filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.

7. Coat the following o-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long term storage:

• L-shape o-rings

(11 & 18).

• Pump hose o-rings

(22).

• Strainer valve assembly step washers

(23).

• Flat strainer rubber washers

(25).

8. Depress the 6-way valve handle and rotate so as to set the pointer on the valve top “N”

position. This allows the water to drain from the valve. Leave the 6-way valve in this inactive

position.

9. It is best to place all dry pieces and pump motor in the original packaging for storage. To avoid

condensation or corrosion problem, do not cover or wrap pump motor with plastic bags.

10. Store the pump motor and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature should be

controlled, between 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and 40 degrees Celsius

(104 degrees Fahrenheit).

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 cannot 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 filtering time. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult

your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.

• 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.

LONG TERM STORAGE & WINTERIZATION

CAUTION

Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow the chemical

manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warnings.

CAUTION

Allowing the water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void the warranty. If anti-freeze

solution is needed, use only propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not

damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may damage

plastic components in the system.
