FILTER PUMP HOSE CONNECTION SETUP
1. Remove the Krystal Clear™ filter pump and hoses from the packaging.
2. Place the filter pump in such a manner, that you can easily assemble the hose (7)
connections to the plunger valve.
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 (7) 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. Turn the top air release valve (2) once or twice in a
counter-clockwise motion.
DO NOT remove the air release valve from the top cover, as
water will expel with force if the motor is turned on. This may cause injury.
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. You will find the hose connection at the bottom of the plunger valve
assembly. Use the hose nut to attach the hose.
9. Connect the second hose which is fixed to the middle of the motor housing to the
remaining liner connection.
WARNING
Position this product away from the pool, so as to prevent children from
climbing on it and accessing the pool.

FILTER PUMP STATIONARY MOUNTING OPTION
Some countries, especially in the European community, require the filter-pump to be secured to the
ground or to a base in a permanent upright position. Check your local authorities to determine if there
is a regulation in your area regarding above-the-ground swimming pool filter-pumps. If yes, then the
filter-pump can be mounted to a platform using the two holes located in the base. See drawing below.
The filter-pump can be mounted on a cement base or onto a wooden platform to prevent accidental
falling over. Total assembly must exceed 18kg.
130 mm
1. The mounting holes are 6.4mm in diameter and spaced 130mm apart.
2. Use two bolts and lock nuts with a maximum of 6.4mm in diameter.

1. Make sure the filter pump is switched off. The switch is located on the motor housing.
2. Connect the power cord to a GFCI protected electrical outlet.
3.Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the
valve, allowing 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 valve (2). When all the air has escaped water will flow out of the
valve
(2). When this occurs gently finger tighten the valve (2) in a clockwise direction.
5. To operate the filter pump on “TIMER” mode:
A. Set the timer dial to the desired operating hours. See operation time table. See Fig. 10
B. Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “ ” position, the filter pump is now filtering
the water and will stop after the operating hours are completed. The built-in timer will
now operate for the number of hours selected at the same time each day.
C. Operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Follow step A – B.
To operate the filter pump manually (without the “TIMER” mode):
A. Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “-” position, the filter pump is now filtering
the water.
B. To turn off the pump, press the switch to “O” position.
To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger valve (connected inlet hose) first and
then the upper plunger valve (connected outlet hose). Open the air release valve,
wait until water starts to flow out of the air release valve, close air release valve.
IMPORTANT

POOL CARE AND CHEMICALS
• All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With proper chemical
control, your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your pool supply dealer for instructions
regarding the proper use of chlorine, algaecide and other chemical agents required for
sparkling clear water.
• Keep pool chemicals away from children.
• Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations could occur.
• Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and cannot be
overemphasized. Chlorine, algaecide and maintenance of proper pH levels are required when
filling the pool as well as during the season. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for
instructions.
• The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra water additives and
extra filter changes. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult your
local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• Keep spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks.
• Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play in the pool and
splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the pool liner will be destroyed. Note
that some types of grass may grow through the liner.
• Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with various run
times so as to produce clean clear water.
CAUTION
Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow
the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warnings.
1. Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the water is directed
towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the house. Check local regulations for
specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2. Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
3. Now, drain the pool.
4. When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from pump and plunger valves and remove the
strainers from the pool wall.
5. Drain all water from the filter pump.
6. Leave filter pump pieces & hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
7. Remove both plunger valves from the threaded strainer connector (13). Be careful not to lose
the step rubber washer (10).
8. Coat the following O-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long term storage:
• Air release valve & sediment O-rings (3).
• Filter housing cover O-ring (5).
• Pump hose O-rings (9).
• Strainer valve assembly step washers (10).
• Flat strainer rubber washers (12).
9. Discard the used filter cartridge. Put aside 1 or 2 new cartridges for next season’s use.
10. It is best to place all dry pieces in the original packaging for storage or place them in an airtight
plastic bag.
11. Store the unit and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature should be controlled,
between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees
Celsius) storage location.
LONG TERM STORAGE
IMPORTANT
It is best to store away your poolsystem in its original packaging.

water watcher, especially when children are in and around the pool.
• Learn to swim.
• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.
• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and about the
use of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.
• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.
• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water activity.
• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
