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 (or any other strong detergent) to 5 gallons of water for up to 12 hours.

Tri-sodium phosphateis available in many supermarkets, hardware stores, or janitorial supply stores. After the oils have been removed, rinse the filter cartridgeto

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.

. Also, a well-maintained, clean cartridge assures you that your filter will always be ready to operate at peak efficiency.

2. Checkfilter pumpoutputdaily.If flowisreduced, seeSymptom 2inSection "TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE."

3. Checkfilter pump, hoses, fitting for leaks.If a leakisfound, see Symptom 4 inSection "TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE."

4. It is essential to change any damaged element or set of elements as soon as possible. Use only parts approved by the person responsiblefor placing the product

onthemarket.

5. All filters and filter media shall be inspected regularly to ensure that there is not a build-up of detritus thus preventing good filtration. The disposal of any used filter

media should also be in accordance with applicable regulations/legislation.

6. Check the filter for leaks. If you find a leak, refer to Symptom 4 in the section "TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE".

7. During the season in which the pool is in use, the filter system must be operated each day for a sufficient period of time to ensure that the volume of water in the

pool iscompletely renewed at least once.

1. Thefollowing items are required and readily availablefrom yourlocalpump supply store:

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

• 1-inch[2.54cm]CHLORINETABLETS-Usedtodisinfect pumpwaterandhelpcontrolthegrowthofalgae.

• pHCONTROLCHEMICALS -Usedto adjust pHlevels Up(SodaAsh) 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 pump.

• CHLORINE DISPENSER (Supplied with Polygroup

dispense 1-inch[2.54cm] 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 pump can be cleaned using a garden hose powered vacuum from Polygroup

4. Using a foot bath near the pump 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 pump chemical supplier for analysis before

adding ANY chemicals.

6. Refer to the POOL's USER MANUEL for the capacity of your pool. You will need this information to determine the amount of chemicals you will need to correct the

pump 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

manufacturerslabel directions on all chemicals.*Most pool supply stores will test your pump water for free and advise you of what chemicals you need, and the correct

amount to use for your pump. You will need to tell them the pump capacity in gallons.

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 FILTERALONE WILL NOT PREVENTALGAE FROM GROWINGIN POOL WATER;THIS CAN ONLYBE DONE BY MAINTAINING PROPER

CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS ATALL TIMES.

• Maintain pH level between 7.3 and 7.8.

• Maintainchlorinelevelbetween 1.0 and 1.6 ppm (parts per million).

• Super chlorinateyourpump at least every other week.

NOTE :

1. Hot weather/heavy usemay require pH andchlorine levels to be maintained ontheupperside of thescaleand superchlorination of thepool every week.

2. Using a pool cover and/or solar cover 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.

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