Our ClearWater II Cartridge Filter System is shipped from Waterway
complete with everything you need right in the box. Assemble filter
system only after above-ground pool is installed. Fill pool with water.
Do not raise water level above pool return line.
The pool equipment should be located between pool skimmer and
return line. The filtration system should not be closer than 2 ft. and not
further than 5 ft. from the pool. The ClearWater II Cartridge Filter System
needs to be on a completely flat surface (e.g. patio block, cement slab,
etc.). The pump will require a 110 volt/20 amp service.
WARNING: A GFCI is required. Follow national and local
building and safety codes.
