POOL MAINTENANCE:
POOL WATER CARE
1. Check and adjust pH and chlorine levels daily using required chemicals. See “POOL WATER CARE”, below.
2. Check filter output daily. If flow is reduced, see Symptom 2 in “TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE”, page #8.
3. Check filter for leaks. If a leak is found, see Symptom 4 in “TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE”, page 8.
4. Check seams in pool periodically. Minor repairs may be made with the patch kit (supplied with pool).
Additional patches are available from Polygroup or your local pool supply store.
1. The following items are required and readily available from your local pool supply store:
A. TEST KIT - Used to check chlorine and pH levels.
B. 1” CHLORINE TABLETS - Used to disinfect pool water and help control the growth of algae.
C. pH CONTROL CHEMICALS - Used to adjust pH levels Up (Soda Ash) or Down (Acid).
D. ALGAECIDES - Used to eliminate algae.
E. SUPERCHLORINATOR - Used to destroy combined chlorine, ammonia, nitrogen, and organic
compounds.
F. LEAF NET with handle - Used to remove leaves, trash, insects, etc. from pool.
G. CHLORINE DISPENSER (Supplied with Filter) - Used to dispense 1” chlorine tablets ONLY.
2. Use test kit daily to check pH and chlorine levels. Adjust accordingly using the required chemicals.
NOTE: Excessive levels of chlorine or low pH levels will damage pool liner.
3. The pool can be cleaned using a garden hose powered vacuum from Polygroup or a pool supply store.
4. Using a foot bath near the pool to wash off your feet prior to entering the pool will assist in keeping the
pool clean.
5. Well water often presents special problems with water chemistry. If you must use well water, take a
sample to your local pool chemical supplier for analysis before adding ANY chemicals.
6. Use the gallons for your pool to calculate the amount of chemicals you will need to correct the pool
water based on the gallons of water in your pool. Note: It is recommended to use a 5 gallon bucket of
water to mix and dissolve your chemicals and then applying directly to the pool water. Follow
manufacturers label directions on all chemicals.
For your convenience, fill in your pool’s information in the below chart. This info is in your pool set-up
instruction manual.
POOL TYPE FILTER/PUMP TYPE
POOL CAPACITY/GALLONS
*Most pool supply stores will test your pool water for free and advise you of what chemicals you need,
and the correct amount to use for your pool. You will need to tell them the pool capacity in gallons.
7. IMPORTANT - We cannot over-stress the importance of proper and adequate daily chemical treatment.
Chlorine and pH levels must be maintained at all times. PUMP AND FILTER ALONE WILL NOT
PREVENT ALGAE FROM GROWING IN POOL WATER; THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY MAINTAINING
PROPER CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS AT ALL TIMES.
A. Maintain pH level between 7.3 and 7.8.
B. Maintain chlorine level between 1.0 and 1.6 ppm (parts per million).
C. Superchlorinate your pool at least every other week.
NOTE:
1. Hot weather/heavy use may require pH and chlorine levels to be maintained on the upper side of the
scale and superchlorination of the pool every week.
2. Using a pool cover and/or solar cover will assist in maintaining your pH and chlorine levels by reducing
the amount of evaporation from your pool.
CAUTION - Concentrated chlorine levels and low pH levels will damage pool.
DANGER - You must follow the instructions for the pool chemicals you use, as to quantity and
recommended usage.
NEVER drop lumps or pellets of chemicals in pool; this may present a hazard to swimmers and/or
damage your liner.

kicks on and off. B GFCI Breaker Tripped B Reset circuit breaker. If problem persists, have an electrician check circuit.
C Low Voltage C Check line voltage - must be 105 to 125 AC volts.
D Rotor Jammed D See the “Rotor Service” diagram in the assembly view of the Filter/Pump unit, page #3.
2 No flow or low flow A Low Water Level A Water level must be within 1” above or below the center line of the Power Filter Inlet
through return hose opening.
B Inlet / Discharge Clogged B Check for obstructions at strainer basket and in return hose.
C Filter Dirty C Clean (see page #5) or replace cartridge. Spare cartridges make service more convenient.
D Rotor Jammed D See the “Rotor Service” diagram in the assembly view of the Filter/Pump unit, page #3.
3 Filter is not cleaning pool A Chlorine Level A Maintain chlorine level between 1.0 and 1.6 ppm
(water cloudy, green, etc.) B Filter Dirty B Clean (see page #5) or replace cartridge. Spare cartridges make service more convenient.
C pH Level C Maintain pH Level between 7.3 and 7.8.
D Cartridge Damaged D Check cartridge for damage and/or holes. Replace if damaged.
E Low Water Flow E Check for obstructions at strainer basket and in return hose.
F Other Chemicals Required F Have water tested at pool supply store. It may be necessary to add other chemicals
due to varying water quality in different localities.
G Pool Water Very Dirty G Run pump more often, but never when pool is in use. Clean filter more often.
4 Water Leakage A Return Hose A Adjust hose clamps (14) on cuff, check O-Ring (12) and retighten. Check hose for any
(2) connection points holes or cracks. Replace if needed. See page #3.
B Pump to Volute Housing B Tighten screws (5). Check Pump Gasket (3) for damage. Replace if needed. See page #3.
C Volute Housing to Filter C Check Volute Housing O-Ring (6) for damage. Replace if needed. See page #3.
PROBLEMS: Call Polygroup at (888) 919-0070 between 8 AM and 5 PM Mon. - Fri. EST.

POWER FILTER DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE
A. First, unplug the main power cord of the Power Filter.
B. Remove the Lock Top Retainer (11) by turning counter-clockwise to unscrew. Remove Strainer Basket
(10) and the Filter Cartridge (9) and remove any chlorine tablets left inside the core section of the filter.
C. Loosen all the Hose Clamps (14), remove the Return Hose (13) and allow water to drain out.
D. Remove the Pool Wall Fitting (15-21) clean the parts and lubricate Gasket (16) with petroleum jelly and
