FILTER PUMP OPERATION

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. To restart the pump press the reset button on the GFCI when the filter pump has cooled down. 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. You may also want to run the pump at night

when the temperature is lower.

PUMP MOTOR PROTECTION

1. Plug the GFCI power cord to a properly grounded receptacle. It is recommended that the outlet is at least 15 feet (4.5m)

IMPORTANT: To start the filter pump, press the RESET button on the GFCI plug .

Check the return fitting on the inside of the pool for correct flow; it should feel like a solid stream of water returning to the pool.

4. Test water and adjust chemicals as needed, read - “POOL WATER CARE”. VERY IMPORTANT– 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!

5. The filter cartridge may need to be cleaned and/or replaced several times at start up until the correct chlorine and pH levels

are attained. We recommend that you keep at least one spare filter cartridge on hand at all times. Filter cartridges may

be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from Polygroup® at polygroupstore.com.

6. To turn off the filter pump, press the test button and unplug the GFCI power cord .

1. Turn off & unplug the Filter Pump. Remove the RF Diverter 7 from the Return

Fitting 6 and plug with the RF Plug 8 . Hand tighten the SF Cap

5 onto the Suction Fitting 2 .

2. To depressurize the Filter Pump system, vent the filter pump by twisting

the Vent Screw 12 counter-clockwise.

3. Use both hands to twist off the Seal Top 14 by turning counter-clockwise.

Remove the Filter Cartridge 20 .

4. After you are finished cleaning the filter cartridge, liberally lubricate the

GASKET 16 with petroleum jelly and re-assemble in reverse order.

Before restarting the filter pump, be sure to remove the RF PLUG 8

and SF CAP 5 .

5. The filter cartridge can be cleansed of coarse dirt and debris b y pressure

washing inside and out with a garden hose, making sure to wash between

all pleats. Fine particles of dirt are more easily removed from the filter

pleats when the cartridge is dry. Therefore, after hosing the cartridge,

allow the filter to dry and CAREFULLY BRUSH, but DO NOT scrub the

pleated surface areas. Cleaning and scrubbing a filter too vigorously will

also wear out the cartridge much faster than if it is simply hosed off

correctly.

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 and readily available from your local pool supply store:

• TEST KIT - Used to check chlorine and pH levels.

• 1” CHLORINE TABLETS - Used to disinfect pool water and help control the growth of algae.

• pH CONTROL CHEMICALS - Used to adjust pH levels Up (Soda Ash) or Down (Acid).

• ALGAECIDES - Used to eliminate algae.

• SUPERCHLORINATOR - Used to destroy combined chlorine, ammonia, nitrogen, and organic compounds.

• LEAF NET with handle - Used to remove leaves, trash, insects, etc. from pool. This item can be purchased at

polygroupstore.com.

• CHLORINE DISPENSER (Supplied with Polygroup®’s patented Filter Cartridge U.S. Pat. 7,005,062) - Used to

dispense 1” chlorine tablets ONLY.

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®. This item can be purchased at polygroupstore.com.

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

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

7. IMPORTANT - We cannot over-stress 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 DONE BY 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

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 pound 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 20 is an excellent investment. It provides a convenient way to continue filtration of your pool while cleaning or replacing a

dirty Filter Cartridge 20 . 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.
