A. First, unplug (turn off ) the Power Filter. Then remove the Top Cover(5). Remove the Strainer Basket (23) and the Filter
Cartridge (7).
B. Basic Cleaning: Clean the filter cartridge by throughly pressure washing inside and out with a garden hose. Allow a
few hours for the filter to fully dry and CAREFULLY BRUSH the pleats (to avoid wear out, do not scrub).
C. To remove tough oils (e.g. suntan, bodyoils, algae, etc) it is recommended to soak cartridge in a 1lb trisodium
phosphate solution (or any other strong detergent) to 5Ga water for up to 12hrs. Rinse cartridge to remove dirt. To
remove algae, add 1/2pint of pool chlorine or 1pint of liquid household bleacher to the cleaning solution, 1 hour
before retrieving the cartridge. Thoroughly rinse before usage on filter case.
D. For calcium and/or mineral build-up cleansing, please contact your local pool supply store to ask about additional
filter cartridge cleaners or treatment for calcium or mineral deposits. Check pool chemistry for high pH or alkalinity,
if out of balance chlorine tablets may solve this problem.
E. A spare "Stand By" filter can be kept at any time to use while cleaning a dirty filter. CLEAN FILTER CARTRIDGE regu-
larly to ensure filter peak performance.
3 FILTER CARTRIDGE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
4 POOL MAINTENANCE
A. Check and adjust pH and chlorine levels daily using required chemicals. See “POOL WATER CARE”, below.
B. Check filter output daily. If flow is reduced, see Symptom 2 in “TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE”.
C. Check filter for leaks. If a leak is found, see Symptom 4 in “TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE”.
D. 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.
A. The following items are required and readily available from your local pool supply store:
.
pH and Chlorine levels testkit.
.
1” CHLORINE TABLETS.
.
pH CONTROL CHEMICALS.
.
ALGAECIDES.
.
SUPERCHLORINATOR.
.
LEAF NET with handle.
.
CHLORINE DISPENSER (Supplied with Filter).
B. 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.
C. The pool can be cleaned using a garden hose powered vacuum from Polygroup or a pool supply store.
D. Using a foot bath near the pool to wash off your feet prior to entering the pool will assist in keeping the pool clean.
E. 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.
F. 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.
* 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.
G. 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.
.
Maintain pH level between 7.3 and 7.8.
.
Maintain chlorine level between 1.0 and 1.6 ppm (parts per million).
.
Superchlorinate your pool at least every other week.
5 POOL WATER CARE
NOTE:
A. 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.
B. 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. 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.
SYMPTOM PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASON
1 Motor fails to start or
kicks on and off
A Unit Not Plugged In A Plug the GFCI into a 3-wire grounded outlet.
B GFCI Breaker Tripped B Reset circuit breaker. If problem persists, have an electrician to check circuit.
C Low Voltage C Check the line voltage. It must be 105 to 125AC volts.
2 No flow or low flow
through return hose
A Low water level
A Water level must be within the range of Water Limit Line marked on Skimmer canister.
B Inlet/Discharge Clogged
B Check for obstructions at strainer basket and in return hose.
C Filter Dirty
C Clean or replace cartridge. Spare cartridges make service more convenient.
3 Filter is not clearning
pool(water cloudy,
green,etc…)
A Chlorine Level does not
lie in the suitable range
A Maintain chlorine level between 1.0-1.6ppm.
B Filter Dirty
B Clean or replace cartridge. Spare cartridges make service more convenient.
C pH Level does not lie in
the suitable range
C Maintain pH level between 7.3-7.8.
D Cartridge Damaged
D Replace cartridge.
E Low Water Flow
E Check if 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 chemcials 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 Hose area : Return hose
does not fit well with
skimmer cuff and wall
fitting elbow
A Adjust hose clamp (12) , check O-Ring(10) and retighten. Check hose for any holes or
cracks. Replace if needed.
B Bottom of canister: Motor
does not been screwed
tightly onto canister
B Retighten the motor.
C Between canister and
liner: Incorrect installation.
C Recheck the Seal Rubber(24) with correct direction. The key feature should be at top side
and engage with canister ribs like the installation procedure described. Made sure the
liner should not be in the thread groove. Screw the Seal Ring(22) as tight as can.
