This product is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with permanently-installed
pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled
for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently-installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily
disassembled for storage.

1. Grasp the strainer and plunger valve
mechanism.
2. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew
plunger valve union from the threaded
strainer connector (14). Be careful not to
lose the step rubber washer (11). Place
the plunger valve on the ground in a safe
place (see drawing 1).
3. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew
the strainer nut (12) from the threaded
connector (14). Leave the flat
washer (13) on the connector (14).
4. Install the strainer and plunger valve at the
lower position of pool outlet (marked "+").
From the inside of the pool liner insert
the connector (14) into one of the pre-cut
holes with the washer remaining on the
connector to be placed against the inside
of the liner wall.
5. With the flat side of the strainer nut (12)
facing the outside wall of the liner in a
clockwise motion screw the strainer nut (12)
back onto the threaded connector (14)
(see drawing 2). Before assembly, lubricate
the threads with a petroleum jelly.
6. Finger tighten the strainer grid (16) and
the strainer nut (12) onto the threaded
connector (14).
7. Grasp the plunger valve assembly. Make
sure the step washer (11) is in place.
8. In a clockwise motion screw the plunger
valve union back onto the threaded
connector (14) (see drawing 3).
9. Examine the plunger valve to see if the
handle is pushed fully down to the "0/1"
position. If not, then grasp the handle at
the top and push down turning the
handle in a clockwise direction until the
plastic protruding notch anchors in
the "0/1" position. This will prevent
water from flowing out during filling
(see drawings 4.1 & 4.2).
The strainer grid prevents large objects from jamming and/or damaging the
filter pump and the plunger valve assembly prevents water from flowing into
the filter pump while the filter cartridge is being placed or cleaned. If your
pool has inflatable top ring, install the strainer, nozzle and plunger valve
before inflating the pool liner top ring.

4. Install the nozzle and plunger valve at the
upper position of pool inlet. From the inside
of the pool liner insert the connector (14)
into one of the pre-cut holes with the
washer remaining on the connector to be
placed against the inside of the liner wall.
5. With the flat side of the strainer nut (12)
facing the outside wall of the liner in a
clockwise motion screw the strainer nut (12)
back onto the threaded connector (14) (see
drawing 6). Before assembly, lubricate the
threads with a petroleum jelly.
6. Finger tighten the adjustable pool inlet
nozzle (15) and the strainer nut (12) onto
the threaded connector (14).
7. Grasp the plunger valve assembly. Make
sure the step washer (11) is in place.
8. In a clockwise motion screw the plunger
valve union back onto the threaded

flowing out during filling (see drawings 8.1
& 8.2).
10. Adjust the direction of nozzle head pointing
away from the pool outlet for a better
circulation result (see drawing 9).
11. The pool liner is now ready to fill with
water. Consult the above-ground-pool
owner’s manual for filling instructions.

FILTER PUMP HOSE CONNECTION SET UP
1. Remove the Krystal Clear™ filter pump and hoses from the packaging.
2. Place the filter pump in a location for hose (8) connections to the plunger valve
assemblies.
Note: Some regional regulations may require the filter pump to be
mounted on a stationary platform. There are two mounting holes located
in the pump base for this reason. Consult your local authorities for
filter-pump mounting requirements.
3. Grasp the two pump hoses (8) and connect the hose nuts to the filter pump.
4. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the threaded filter housing collar (1)
from the filter housing. Place it in a safe place.
5. The Filter Pump is an airtight system. In a counter-clockwise motion turn both
air release valves (2 & 7) 1 - 2 turns to open.
DO NOT remove air release valves as water will expel with force if the
motor is turned on and injury may occur.
6. Grasp and remove the filter housing cover (4). Check to see if a cartridge is
inside the housing. If yes, replace the cover, finger tighten the housing collar (1)
back onto the filter housing.
7. Gently finger tighten the sediment release valve located at the bottom of the
housing to be sure that water does not leak out.
8. When the pool is filled connect the hose from the bottom of the filter housing to
the highest strainer assembly. The hose connection is made at the bottom of
the plunger valve assembly. Use the hose nut to attach the hose.
9. Connect the 2nd hose to the middle of the motor housing and to the remaining
liner connection.
WARNING
Position this product away from pool to prevent a child from climbing the
pool.

FILTER CARTRIDGE CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT
1. Make sure the filter pump switch is "OFF". The switch is located on the motor
housing.
2. Connect the power cord to a GFCI protected electrical outlet.
It is recommended that the filter cartridge be replaced at least
every 2 weeks.
1. Make sure the filter pump is turned off, and disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
2. Close both plunger valves. Grasp a plunger valve handle. Turn the handle
counter-clockwise, push down until it stops and then turn it clockwise until the
plastic protruding notch anchors in the "0/1" position. Repeat for the 2nd
plunger valve. This prevents the water from flowing out of the pool.
3. Gently turn the top air release valve 1-2 turns in a counter-clockwise direction.
This will allow the housing cover to be easily removed.
4. In a counter-clockwise direction remove the filter housing collar (1). Place it in a
safe location.
5. Remove the housing cover (4).
6. Remove the "OLD" filter cartridge.
7. Examine the inside of the filter housing.
3. Grasp a plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, pull up until
it stops, and then turn it clockwise until the metal protruding notch anchors in
the "0/1" position. Repeat for the 2nd plunger valve. This opens the valves to
allow water to flow into the filter pump.
4. With water flowing into filter pump, the water pressure will allow the air trapped
inside to escape from the air release valves (2 & 7). When all the air has
escaped water will flow out of the valves (2 & 7). When this occurs gently finger
tighten the valves (2 & 7) in a clockwise direction.
5. Turn the switch "ON". The filter pump is now filtering the water.
6. Operate the filter pump until the desired water clarity is obtained.
To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger valve (connected inlet hose)
first and then the upper plunger valve (connected outlet hose). Open air
release valves, wait until water starts to flow out of the air release valves,
close air release valves.
IMPORTANT
Risk of electric shock. Connect this product only to a grounding type
receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a
qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by
a GFCI.
