CAUTION
Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow the
chemical manufacturerʼs 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. Switch off the unit, and disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
3. When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from pump and plunger valves and
remove the strainers/plunger valves from the pool wall.
4. In a counter clockwise motion unscrew the drain valve cap (9) from the drain valve to
thoroughly drain the tank. The drain valve is located at the bottom of the filter tank.
5. Disassemble the pump motor from the tank base.
6. Leave sand filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
7. Coat the following o-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long term storage:
• L-shape o-ring (11).
• o-ring A (18).
• Pump hose O-rings (22).
• Strainer valve assembly step washers (23).
• Flat strainer rubber washers (25).
8. Depress the 6-way valve handle and rotate so as to set the pointer on the valve top
“N” position. This allows the water to drain from the valve. Leave the 6-way valve in this
inactive position.
9. It is best to place all dry pieces and pump motor in the original packaging for storage. To
avoid condensation or corrosion problem, do not cover or wrap pump motor with plastic bags.
10. Store the pump motor and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature
should be controlled, between 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and 40
degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
POOL CARE & 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 filtering time. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is
balanced. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• 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.
LONG TERM STORAGE & WINTERIZATION
CAUTION
Allowing the water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void the warranty.
If anti-freeze solution is needed, use only propylene glycol. Propylene glycol
is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-
freezes are highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system.
