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 occu
r.
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 pl
ay
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 fo
ll
ow
the chemical
manufacturer's directions, and the health and hazard warnings.
LONG
TERM
STORAGE
&
WINTERIZATION
Allowing the water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void the warranty.
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. Disconnect all interconnecting hoses, disassemble the cell housing (46) from the tank base and drain
out any water inside. Clean the electrode cells before storage, see "Electrolytic Cell Cleaning" section.
6. Disassemble the pump motor & control (33) from the tank base.
7. Leave sand filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
8.
Coat the following o-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long term storage:
• L-shape o-rings
(11 ).
• Pump hose O-rings
(22)
.
• Strainer valve assembly step washers (23).
• Flat strainer rubber washers (25).
9.
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.
10.
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.
11. 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).
