SAFETY WARNINGS
READ ALL WARNINGS BELOW. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
• RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
• Do not block pump suction at the pump or in the pool as this can cause severe injury or death.
• Electrical wiring MUST be installed by a trained professional and adhere to local code and regulations.
• Avoid electric shock. DO NOT USE power extension cords.
• Connect ONLY to a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) power outlet. Consult a qualified, professional
electrician for safe and proper installation of the required electrical outlet.
• Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injuries or damage to the pump-filter system.
• Never place or submerge the filter and/or pump in water.
• Trapped air in the pump-filter system may cause the tank cover to be blown off which can result in death,
serious injury, or damage to the pump-filter system. Ensure all air is out of system before operating.
• NEVER use the valve lever as a handle to carry or lift the filter.
• NEVER change the position of the 4 way valve while the system is operating. ALWAYS unplug the system
first.
• Install this product per your local electrical code and at least 10 feet (3.05m) away from the pool
to prevent children from using the system to access the pool.
• Never PLUG or UNPLUG this unit from an electrical source while standing in water or with wet hands.
• NEVER service this unit with the electrical power cord connected.
• Do not use any petroleum based lubricant. Petroleum based products will destroy plastic parts.
• Do NOT operate the system while the pool is in use.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY from all electrical equipment.
• NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
THESE SAFETY WARNINGS ARE NOT INTENDED TO INCORPORATE ALL POSSIBLE INSTANCES FOR RISK
AND/OR SEVERE INJURY.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual provides information relating to the installation, utilization and maintenance of the Pool Filter System. The pump included
with the filtration system is a horizontal, self-priming centrifugal pump. For the pump to function correctly, the water temperature must
not exceed 104°F/40°C. The filter included in the filtration system is equipped with a container drainage system, pressure gauge and
built-in container components. The filter container comes ready to plug-in and is supplied with a user-friendly 4 way valve, an approved
filter pump with hair and lint basket and a plastic base for ready on-site mounting.
How Sand Filtration Works
The Pool Filter System is designed to use special silica sand to remove dirt particles from pool water. Filter sand is loaded into the filter
tank and functions as a permanent dirt and debris removing medium. Pool water, which contains dirt particles, is pumped through
the intake hose leading from the pool to the filter tank and is directed by the filter control valve to the top of the filter tank. As water
is pumped through the filter sand, dirt particles are trapped by the bed of sand and filtered out. The cleaned/filtered water is then
returned from the bottom of the filter tank, through the control valve and back to the pool through the return hose. This sequence is
continuous and automatic and provides total recirculation of pool water through your filter and hose connections.
After a period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes a resistance to the flow of water and an increase in pump pressure (psi).
When this happens, it is time to clean (backwash) the filter. To backwash the system, you must change the valve to the backwash posi-
tion. When in backwash mode, the water flow is automatically reversed through the filter so that it is directed to the bottom of the tank,
up through the sand, which flushes any trapped dirt and debris out through the waste line. Once the filter is backwashed and cleaned
of dirt, the control valve should be moved into the rinse position to allow the sand to settle. After rinsing, the filter valve should be
changed back to the filtration position to resume normal filtering.
