OWNER’S MANUAL

Polygroup®Trading Limited (hereinafter “Polygroup®”) makes products at the best quality we are able to offer. All Polygroup®products
have been inspected against defects in materials and workmanship prior to leaving factory. Polygroup®is happy to offer warranty for the
repair or replacement of pool products for 180 days from the date of purchase. The provisions of this Limited Warranty only apply to the
original purchaser. Please keep your original store sales receipt, as this proof of purchase will be required and must accompany warranty
claims to Polygroup®or its designated agents. This Limited Warranty does not apply without proof of purchase; or should the purchaser
modify or repair the product themselves or by unauthorized people; use non-Polygroup®parts or accessories with the product; use the
product in contravention of the manufacturer’s instructions; use improper voltage; abuse the product in any way; or through accident or
negligence. This Limited Warranty will not cover consequential damages, including claims for loss of water, pool chemicals, damage, or
labor, normal wear-and-tear; nor acts of God outside the control of Polygroup®. Non-manufacturing defects, such as grasses that may
grow through the ground cloth and/or pool liner are examples of which Polygoup®cannot be held responsible for.
IN NO EVENT SHALL Polygroup®, ITS AUTHORIZED AGENTS, RELATED ENTITIES, OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE TO THE BUYER
OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states or countries, or other jurisdictions, do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This Limited Warranty is not extended to close-outs, factory seconds, or resold products (i.e. garage sales, online auctions, or online
retailers not purchased directly from Polygroup®). Any issues with items purchased from these types of vendors / sellers will need to be
addressed through these stores. Items purchased from seasonal stores will be treated with an “All Sales Final” Policy instead.

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.
4

First Aid
1. Keep a working phone and a list of emergency numbers near the pool.
2. Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In the event of an emergency, immediate use of CPR can make a lifesaving difference.
Special Warning
1. Local building codes may require obtaining a building or electrical permit. Installer shall follow regulations on setback, barriers, devices, and other conditions.
2. Safety signs shall comply with requirements of ANSI-Z535 and use signal wording.
3. DO NOT attempt to assemble this pool in adverse weather conditions, windy conditions, or when the temperature is below 60°F.
4. This is a storable filter pump, which should be disassembled and stored when temperatures are expected to fall below 32°F.
Extra Safety Warning
1. Adult supervision is always required.
2. Parents should learn CPR.
3. Keep all electrical radios, speakers, and other appliances away from the swimming pool.
4. When you touch the filter, pump, or electrical parts, be sure the ground under your feet is “Bone Dry.”
5. All electrical outlets should have a GFCI, and connections should be a minimum of 6 feet (1.83 m) from the outside perimeter of the wall of the pool.
From 6–10 feet (1.83–3.05 m), there should be either a fixed connection (outlet box) or twistlock connection with a GFCI.
6. Connect power cords to a 3-wire grounding-type outlet only.
7. Keep all breakable objects out of the pool area.
8. Alcohol consumption and pool activities do not mix. Never allow anyone to swim, dive, or slide under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
9. Severe electrical shock could result if you install your pump or filter on a deck. The pump or filter could fall into the water, causing severe shock or electrocution.
10. Do not install on a deck or other surface at, above, or slightly below the top rail of the pool.
11. Do not use the filter pump during severe weather conditions, i.e. electrical storms, tornadoes, etc.
12. Be aware of overhead power lines when vacuuming your pool or using a telescoping pole.
13. Check regularly for signs of wear or loose bolts that could make the deck unsafe.
14. Please contact pool site dealer or manufacturer for additional safety signs if deemed necessary.
15. For pool service, select a certified pool professional. For additional safety information, see www.APSP.org
