WARNING:
Read and follow all instruction in this owner’s manual and on the labels of the equipment. Failure to do so can
cause serious injury or death.
Suction entrapment hazard near or in suction outlets or suction outlet covers that are damaged or missing.
Entrapment can cause serious injury or death.
Ensure all suction outlet points are inspected routinely and remove debris or repair damaged components that
could lead to an increase in entrapment potential.
It is recommended that a vacuum relief or vent system is installed to relieve entrapping suction.
Ensure the suction lines, return lines and valve position are open and clear prior to starting the system. Failure to
do so can result in a dangerous increase in pressure that can lead to violent separation of filter or pump
components.
Check all connections (seal ring, hose clamps, pump fittings, return and suction fittings, etc) for proper installation.
Failure to do so can lead to leaks or separation hazards causing damage to property or severe injury/death.
All electrical wiring must be performed by a professional and must conform to local codes and regulations.
Ensure the system is plugged directly into a GFI protected outlet.
Do not use an extension cord to operate the filter system as this is an electrical shock hazard.
Do not allow children to install or operate the filter system.
Ensure the filter system is unplugged before changing the valve position or performing any maintenance.
Ensure the filter system is positioned as to prevent using the unit to gain access to the pool.
Never change the valve position while the system is running.
Do not submerge the filter or pump in water.
Do not carry or lift the filter by the handle.
Do not attempt to carry the filter while filled with filter media or water.
Do not operate the filter system while in standing water or with wet hands.
Do not use petroleum based lubricants.
Do not operate the filter system if pool water temperatures exceed 95ºF or fall below 39ºF as this may damage
the unit and will void the warranty

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The filter uses specific filter sand that acts as the media for trapping dirt particles suspended in pool water. The water is pulled
from the suction outlet of the pool and is pumped into the top of the filter tank. The water is forced down through the filter sand
and back up through the center stand pipe, where it is directed back to the pool through the return line, by the control valve. As the
water passes through the sand bed, it is filtered, leaving dirt particle behind and returning clean water back to the pool. This
process is automatic and is essential in keeping the pool a clean and healthy environment.
The filter will reach a point when it needs to be cleaned. This is determined by an increase in pressure and a decrease in water
flow. When this occurs, the system should be shutdown and the valve turned to the Backwash position. The valve reverses the
flow of the water so that it travels down the center stand pipe, up through the sand and out the Backwash port. Once the water
runs clear, the valve is turned to the Rinse position before it is turned back to the Filter position, to resume pool filtering.
