POOL OUTLET - STRAINER & PLUNGER VALVE SETUP

The strainer grid prevents large objects from jamming and/or damaging the
filter pump. The plunger valve assembly prevents water from flowing into the
filter pump while the filter cartridge is being placed or cleaned. If your pool
has inflatable top ring, install the strainer, nozzle and plunger valve before
inflating the pool liner top ring. The parts numbers here onward, refer to the
parts depicted in the Parts List section of this manual. To install, do the
following:

1. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew

plunger valve union from the threaded

strainer connector (13) (see drawing 1).

Be careful not to lose the step rubber

washer (10). Place the plunger valve on the

ground in a safe place.

2. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the
strainer nut (11) from the threaded
connector (13). Leave the flat washer (12)
on the connector (13).

3. Install the strainer and plunger valve at the
lower position of pool outlet (marked "+").
From the inside of the pool liner insert the
connector (13) into one of the pre-cut holes
with the washer remaining on the
connector to be placed against the inside
of the liner wall.

4. Before assembly, lubricate the threads with
a petroleum jelly. Then, with the flat side of
the strainer nut (11) facing the outside wall
of the liner in a clockwise motion screw the
strainer nut (11) back onto the threaded
connector (13) (see drawing 2).

5. Finger tighten the strainer nut (11) onto
the threaded connector (13).

6. Grasp the plunger valve assembly. Make
sure the step washer (10) is in place.

7. In a clockwise motion screw the plunger
valve union back onto the threaded
connector (13) (see drawing 3).

8. Examine the plunger valve to see if the
handle is pushed fully down to the "0/1"
position. If not, grasp the handle at
the top and push down, turning the handle
in a clockwise direction until the plastic
protruding notch anchors in the "0/1"
position. This will prevent water from
flowing out during filling of the pool (see

drawings 4.1 & 4.2).

FILTER PUMP HOSE CONNECTION SETUP

1. Remove the Krystal Clear™ filter pump and hoses from the packaging.

2. Place the filter pump in such a manner, that you can easily assemble the
hose (7) connections to the plunger valve.
Note: Some regional regulations may require the filter pump to be
mounted on a stationary platform. There are two mounting holes located
in the pump base for this reason. Consult your local authorities for
filter-pump mounting requirements.

3. Grasp the two pump hoses (7) and connect the hose nuts to the filter pump.

4. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the threaded filter housing collar (1)

from the filter housing. Place it in a safe place.

5. The filter pump is an airtight system. Turn the top air release valve (2) once or
twice in a counter-clockwise motion.

DO NOT remove the air release valve from the top cover, as water will
expel with force if the motor is turned on. This may cause injury.

6. Grasp and remove the filter housing cover (4). Check to see if a cartridge is

inside the housing. If yes, replace the cover, finger tighten the housing
collar (1) back onto the filter housing.

7. Gently finger tighten the sediment release valve located at the bottom of the
housing to be sure that water does not leak out.

8. When the pool is filled connect the hose from the bottom of the filter housing to
the highest strainer assembly. You will find the hose connection at the bottom of
the plunger valve assembly. Use the hose nut to attach the hose.

9. Connect the second hose which is fixed to the middle of the motor housing to
the remaining liner connection.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure the filter pump is switched off. The switch is located on the motor

ousing.

h

2. Connect the power cord to a GFCI protected electrical outlet.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Connect this product only to a grounding type
receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a
qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by
a GFCI.

IMPORTANT

To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger valve (connected inlet hose)
first and then the upper plunger valve (connected outlet hose). Open the
air release valve, wait until water starts to flow out of the air release valve,
close air release valve.

3. Grasp a plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, pull up until

it stops, and then turn it clockwise until the metal protruding notch anchors in
the "0/1" position. Repeat for the second plunger valve. This opens the valves,
allowing water to flow into the filter pump.

4. With water flowing into filter pump, the water pressure will allow the air trapped
inside to escape from the air release valve (2). When all the air has escaped
water will flow out of the valve (2). When this occurs gently finger tighten the
valve (2) in a clockwise direction.

5. To operate the filter pump on “TIMER” mode:

A. Set the timer dial to the desired operating hours. See operation time table.

See Fig. 10

B. Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “ ” position, the filter pump is

now filtering the water and will stop after the operating hours are
completed. The built-in timer will now operate for the number of hours
selected at the same time each day.

C. Operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Follow step A – B.

To operate the filter pump manually (without the “TIMER” mode):

A. Turn on the pump by pressing the switch to “-” position, the filter pump is

now filtering the water.

B. To turn off the pump, press the switch to “O” position.

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 filter changes. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level
is balanced. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.

•

Keep spare filter cartridges on hand. Replace cartridges every two weeks.

•

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.

CAUTION

Concentrated chlorine solutions may damage the pool liner. Always follow
the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard
warnings.

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY

Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves
inherent risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read
and follow all product, package and package insert warnings and
instructions. Remember, however, that product warnings, instructions
and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water recreation,
but do not cover all risks and dangers.

For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following
general guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally
recognized Safety Organizations:

• Demand constant supervision. A competent adult should be appointed as
a “lifeguard” or water watcher, especially when children are in and around
the pool.

• Learn to swim.

• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.

• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool
hazards and about the use of protective devices such as locked doors,
barriers, etc.

• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an
emergency.

• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any
water activity.

• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
