Safety Care for Children
1. Children, especially children younger than five years, are at high risk of drowning. Drowning occurs silently and quickly and can occur in as little as 2 in (5 cm) of water.
2. Keep children in your direct sight, stay close, and actively supervise them when they are in or near this pool and when you are filling and emptying this pool.
3. When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if the child is thought to be in the house.
4. Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on them and gain access to the pool.
5. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
Swimming Pool Barriers
Very Important:
Swimming pool barriers, which restrict access to the pool by small children, may be required by law. A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential
drowning and near drowning. Barriers are not a substitute for constant supervision of children. Check state or local laws and codes before setting up the pool.
Swimming Pool Equipment
1. The use of artificial pool lighting is at the discretion of the pool owner. Lighting, when installed, should be in accordance with Article 680 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC
®
) or its latest approved edition and in consultation with a licensed electrical professional.
2. Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers, and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
3. Do not place the pool near or under overhead electrical lines.
4. All electrical components installed in and/or adjacent to an above-ground/on-ground residential swimming pool shall be installed in accordance with and shall comply
with the requirements of the latest published edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC®) Article 680 "Swimming Pools, Fountains, and Similar Installations",
and any state or local code.
Filter Pump Awareness
1. WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle. This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. If replacement of
the plug or cord is needed, use only identical replacement parts.
2. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use the extension cord to connect the unit to the electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
4. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.83 m) from any electrical outlet. Do not place portable appliances
closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) to the pool.
5. CAUTION: This pump 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.
OWNER’S MANUAL
3

6. CAUTION: For continued protection against possible electric shock, this unit is to be mounted to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.
7. Do not bury the cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
8. The pump is equipped with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).
To test the GFCI’s leakage protection function: Plug the GFCI power cord set into the power outlet, make sure the pump is in working mode (i.e. display screen of
the GFCI plug IS NOT showing “00”). Press the “TEST” button, the power to the pump should be interrupted by the GFCI and the pump will stop working. Press the
“RESET” button to restore the power. If the GFCI fails to interrupt the power to the pump while it is on, the GFCI is defective, so contact Customer Service.
If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the Test button being pushed, that means a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock.
In this case, stop using the pump immediately, disconnect the pump from the power outlet, and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative
before using the product again.
9. The Filter Pump is to be assembled by an adult; care should be taken in the unpacking and assembling of the Filter Pump. This pool may contain accessible
potentially hazardous sharp edges or sharp points that are a necessary part of the function of the Filter Pump.
10. If a drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, evisceration,
or drowning. Repair or replace the drain or suction outlet cover before allowing the pool to be used. During nighttime pool use, artificial lighting shall be used to
illuminate all safety signs, ladders, steps, deck surfaces, and walks.
11. The floor of the pool shall be visible at all times from the outside perimeter of the pool.
12. Post a list of emergency telephone numbers such as the nearest available police, fire, ambulance, and/or rescue unit. These numbers are to be kept near the
telephone that is closest to the pool.
13. Basic lifesaving equipment, including one of the following should be on hand at all times:
• A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherd's crook) not less than twelve feet (12’) [366 cm] long.
• A minimum one-fourth inch (¼”) [6.35 mm] diameter rope as long as one and one half (1 ½) times the maximum width of the pool or fifty feet (50’) [15.24 meters],
whichever is less, which has been firmly attached to a Coast Guard-approved ring buoy having an outside diameter of approximately fifteen inches (15”) [38.1 cm],
or similarly approved flotation device.
14. Pool shall be located at a minimum distance of 6 ft (1.83 m) from any receptacle, and all 125-volt 15- and 20-ampere receptacles located within 20 ft (6.0 m) of
the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), where distances are by measuring the shortest path the supply cord of an appliance
connected to the receptacle would follow, without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway with hinged or sliding door, window opening, or other effective permanent
barrier, to the inside pool wall.
Circulation Systems
1. The installer shall follow written instructions regarding positioning of all equipment connected to the circulation systems.
2. The installer shall follow written instructions provided for operating the circulation system components.
3. All circulation system components and pump that require replacement or servicing shall be installed according to the pump’s instruction manual.
4. Circulation equipment shall be installed per manufacturer’s instructions to provide proper mounting and support, to prevent damage from misalignment, settlement,
and vibration, and to minimize the potential for the accumulation of debris and moisture. Please refer to pump’s instruction manual.
Chemicals
For safety sake, ensure the deepest part of the pool is always visible. The user must properly maintain the clarity of the pool water at all times. Check the pH and
chlorine levels periodically and make sure they are within the recommended limits. Additional water treatment chemicals might be needed from time to time. Have
the water sample tested by a local pool supply store to determine if additional chemical is needed. Turn on the pump for the recommended hours daily. If you are
unsure of the time frames please refer to support.polygroupstore.com for the recommended Pump Operation Hours based on pool types and sizes. Clean and
replace filter cartridge frequently. Replace only with a genuine Polygroup®/ Summer Waves®Brand filter cartridge. Refer to the Filter Pump manual for additional
water care information.
Risk of Entrapment
1. Entrapment Avoidance: There shall be no protrusions or other obstruction in the swimming area, which may cause entrapment or entanglement of the user. If
a suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, evisceration, or drowning.
Repair or replace the suction outlet cover before allowing the pool to be used.
2. DANGER! TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, CLOSE THE POOL OR SPA TO BATHERS IF ANY SUCTION OUTLET COVER/GRATE IS MISSING,
BROKEN, OR INOPERATIVE.
3. Never play or swim near drains or suction fittings. Your body or hair may be trapped causing permanent injury or drowning.
4. Never enter the pool or spa if a suction fitting or drain cover is loose, broken, or missing.
5. Immediately notify the pool/spa owner or operator if you find a drain cover loose, broken, or missing.
Risk of Drowning
1. Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or other approved barriers around all sides of pool. State or local laws or codes may
require fencing or other approved barriers. Check state or local laws and codes before setting up the pool.
2. Toys, chairs, tables, or similar objects that a young child could climb shall be at least four feet (4’) [121.92 cm] from the pool. The pump filter system shall be positioned
so as to prevent it being used as a means of access to the pool by young children. Do not leave toys inside pool when no longer in use, as toys and similar items
might attract a child to the pool.
3. Position furniture (for example: tables, chairs) away from pool and so that children cannot climb on it to gain access to the pool.
Risk of Electrocution
1. Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers, and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
2. Do not place the pool near or under overhead electrical lines.

IMPORTANT! Your filter pump is protected by a thermal switch. The switch senses the temperature of the filter pump. If it gets too hot, the switch will stop the
pump from running until it cools off. This is a safety device to prevent pump damage and prolong service life. If your pump is automatically turning off, it is because of
high pool water temperature and/or low water flow through the pump. If this happens you need to check the water flow and correct it if needed, as this filter pump uses the
water flow for cooling. It is recommended that you run the pump at night or early morning when the temperature is lower to prevent overheating.
PUMP MOTOR CARE
1. Locate a grounded receptacle at least 15 feet (4.5 m) away from the pool.
2. To turn on the Pump, plug in the GFCI power cord set
f
to the power outlet.
3. The GFCI power cord set
f
comes with a pre-set timer function.
a. Default timer setting: When the power is on, the display screen shows “10”, indicating that the default working
time of the pump is 10 hours. The pump will automatically turn off after the 10 hours and remain off for 14 hours. This
is based on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle will then continue as long as the power is on.
b. Time adjustment: Press the "SET" button to set the desired operating time of the pump between 1 to 10 hours,
with each press increases the time by 1 hour. For example, when the display screen on the plug shows “05”, the pump will
work for 5 hours and restart after a 19 hours break.
c. If the display screen shows "00", it indicates that the pre-set working time has ended and the pump is currently off.
d. To restart the pump earlier than the pre-set time, press the “SET” button.
In this case, the pre-set working time will increase by 1 hour from the previous setting.
4. To turn off the pump, press the “TEST” button of the GFCI Plug, and unplug it from the power outlet.
If you accidentally press the “TEST” button while the pump is working, you can press the “RESET” button to restore the pump to work.
5. From inside the pool, check if the water flow from the RF Diverter
7
is correct. It should feel like a solid stream of water returning to the pool. If not, or if you feel
a reduction in flow, clean or replace the Filter Cartridge
o
For details, see FILTER CARTRIDGE USE & CARE (p. 13) as well as Symptom 2 of the
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (p. 15).
6. VERY IMPORTANT: Check and adjust the pH and chlorine levels daily. FILTER PUMP ALONE WILL NOT PREVENT ALGAE FROM GROWING IN POOL
WATER; THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY MAINTAINING PROPER CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS AT ALL TIMES. For details, see POOL WATER CARE (p. 14).

with petroleum jelly and re-assemble in reverse order. Before restarting the filter
pump, be sure to remove the Service Plug
8
and Service Cap
5
.
6. Suntan oils, body oils, and algae can form a coating on the filter pleats which may not be thoroughly removed by hosing. Such films of oils and/or algae will rapidly
clog up the filters’ pores, greatly reducing filtration. Therefore, it is imperative to remove such materials from the filter element as soon as possible. To remove oils,
we recommend soaking the cartridge in a solution of 1 lb. of tri-sodium phosphate (TSP or any other strong detergent) to 5 gallons of water for up to 12 hours.
Tri-sodium phosphate is available in many supermarkets, hardware stores, or janitorial supply stores. After the oils have been removed, rinse the filter cartridge to
remove any dirt. If algae is a problem, add 1/2 pint of pool chlorine or 1 pint of liquid household bleach to the cleaning solution, 1 hour before removing the filter
cartridge from the solution. Thoroughly rinse the filter cartridge before replacing it in the filter case. Check the pool chemistry to determine the cause of algae growth.
7. Excessive calcium and/or mineral deposits may build up on a filter cartridge and should be handled differently. Contact your local pool supply store to ask about
additional filter cartridge cleaners or treatment for calcium or mineral deposits. Check pool chemistry for high pH or alkalinity; this may cause a calcium or mineral
build-up.
8. A spare “stand-by” Filter Cartridge
o
is an excellent investment. It provides a convenient way to continue filtration of your pool while cleaning or replacing a dirty
Filter Cartridge
o
. Also, a well-maintained, clean cartridge assures you that your filter will always be ready to operate at peak efficiency.
9. Filter cartridges may be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from Polygroup® at polygroupstore.com. Always replace with genuine
Polygroup®SUMMER WAVES®filter cartridges.
1. Turn off and unplug the Pump. Remove the RF Diverter
7
from the
Return Fitting
6
and plug with the Service Plug
8
. Hand tighten the
Service Cap
5
onto the Suction Fitting
2
.
2. To depressurize the Filter Pump system, vent the filter pump by twisting
the Vent Screw
e
counter-clockwise.
3. Use both hands to twist off the Seal Top
t
by turning counter-clockwise.
Remove the Filter Cartridge
o
.
4. The filter cartridge can be cleansed of coarse dirt and debris by
thoroughly pressure washing inside and out with a garden hose,
making sure to wash between all pleats. Allow a few hours for
the filter to fully dry and CAREFULLY BRUSH the pleats to
avoid damaging the filter cartridge. DO NOT scrub the pleated
surface areas. Cleaning and scrubbing a filter too vigorously will
wear out the cartridge much faster than if it is simply
hosed off correctly.
To ensure pool water stays clean,please clean the filter cartridge
every day and change when required.

POOL MAINTENANCE
NOTE :
1. Hot weather/heavy use may require pH and chlorine levels to be maintained on the upper side of the scale and superchlorination of the pool every week.
2. Using a pool cover and/or solar cover (available at polygroupstore.com) will assist in maintaining your pH and chlorine levels by reducing the amount of evaporation
from your pool.
CAUTION - Concentrated chlorine levels and low pH levels will damage pool. You must follow the instructions for the pool chemicals you use, as to quantity and
recommended usage. NEVER drop lumps or pellets of chemicals in pool; this may present a hazard to swimmers and/or damage your liner.
1. The following items are required to get your pool ready for use. They are available at polygroupstore.com or your local pool supplies stores:
a. Test kit – for checking the chlorine and pH levels of the pool water
b. Floating chlorine dispenser (not included) and chlorine tablet – for water disinfection and prevention of the growth of algae
c. pH control chemicals – for adjusting the pH level up (soda ash) or down (acid)
d. Algaecides – to eliminate algae
e. Superchlorinator – to destroy (“shock”) the combined chlorine, ammonia, nitrogen, and organic compounds that build up in pool water over time and with
extended use
f. Leaf net with handle – for removing leaves, trash, insects, etc. from the pool
2. Use test kit daily to check pH and chlorine levels. Adjust accordingly using the required chemicals.
NOTE: Excessive levels of chlorine or low pH levels will damage pool liner.
3. The pool can be cleaned using a garden hose powered vacuum from Polygroup®or a pool supply store.
4. Using a foot bath near the pool to wash off your feet prior to entering the pool will assist in keeping the pool clean.
5. Well water often presents special problems with water chemistry. If you must use well water, take a sample to your local pool chemical supplier for analysis before
adding ANY chemicals.
6. Refer to the retail package box or visit the support pages at support.polygroupstore.com for the capacity of your pool. You will need this information to determine
the amount of chemicals you will need to correct the pool water.
NOTE: It is recommended to use a 5 gallon bucket of water to mix and dissolve your chemicals and then applying directly to the pool water. Follow manufacturer’s
label directions on all chemicals. *Most pool supply stores will test your pool water for free and advise you of what chemicals you need, and the correct amount to
use for your pool. You will need to tell them the pool capacity in gallons.
7. IMPORTANT - We cannot emphasize enough the importance of proper and adequate daily chemical treatment. Chlorine and pH levels must be properly
maintained at all times. PUMP AND FILTER ALONE WILL NOT PREVENT ALGAE FROM GROWING IN POOL WATER; THIS CAN ONLY BE DONY BE
MAINTAINING PROPER CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS AT ALL TIMES.
• Maintain pH level between 7.3 and 7.8.
• Maintain chlorine level between 1.0 and 1.6 ppm (parts per million).
• Superchlorinate your pool at least every other week.
POOL WATER CARE
1. Check and adjust pH and chlorine levels daily using required chemicals. See Section “POOL WATER CARE.” or contact your local pool store.
2. Check filter pump output daily. If flow is reduced, see Symptom 2 in Section “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.”
3. Check filter pump, hoses and fitting for leaks. If a leak is found, see Symptom 4 in Section “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.”
4. Run the pump for the recommended number of hours daily. If you are unsure of the time frame please refer to support.polygroupstore.com for the recommended
"Pump Operation Hours" bases on pool types and sizes.
