2. A spare "stand-by" Cartridge is an excellent investment. You may need to clean or replace the Filter Cartridge when it's dirty, or before the correct chlorine and pH
levels are attained. Also, a clean, well-maintained cartridge assures that your Pump will always be ready to operate at peak efficiency.
3. Suntan oils, body oils and algae can quickly build up and clog the pleats of the Cartridge, reducing the filtration efficiency. Therefore, it is imperative to remove
such films of oils and/or algae.
To remove oils: mix 1 pound of tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) or any other strong detergent and 5 gallons of water, and soak the Cartridge for 12 hours.
To remove oils AND algae: same as above, and add ½ pint of pool chlorine or 1 pint of liquid household bleach to the solution ONE HOUR BEFORE removing
the Cartridge from the solution.
Thoroughly rinse the Cartridge before reusing it.
4. Excessive calcium and/or mineral deposits may also build up in the Cartridge, and requires to be handled differently. Contact and consult your local pool supplies
store for solutions/treatment, and maintain an adequate pH level of pool water (see POOL WATER CARE, below).
5. Dispose of any used filter media in accordance with applicable regulations/legislation.
6. Always use genuine Polygroup

See p. 7 FILTER PUMP IMPORTANT NOTES (3)
2. IMPORTANT: it is a MUST to maintain the chlorine and pH levels at all times:
a. Check and adjust the pH and chlorine levels daily. 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.
b. Recommended pH level: between 7.3 and 7.8
c. Recommended chlorine level: between 1.0 ppm and 1.6 ppm
d. Superchlorinate your pool at least every other week.
e. Hot weather and heavy use may require the pH and chlorine levels to be maintained on the upper side of the scale as well as a weekly superchlorination.
f. Using a pool and/or solar cover will help maintain the pH and chlorine levels by reducing evaporation of pool water.
g. CAUTION: High chlorine concentration and low pH level will damage the pool/pool liner. You must follow the instructions on quantity and safe usage of the pool
chemicals you use. NEVER drop lumps or pellets of chemicals into the pool – this may present a hazard to the swimmers and/or damage your pool liner.
3. Clean your pool regularly with a garden-hose-powered vacuum from Polygroup
4. Using a foot bath prior to entering the pool will help keep the pool clean.
5. Avoid using well water. If you must use well water, always seek professional advice from your local pool chemical suppliers before adding ANY chemicals into it.
6. Find out the water capacity (in gallon) of your pool from the pool Owner's Manual. You will need it to determine the amount of chemicals required, or when you
contact a pool supplies expert for water testing and advice on safe use of chemicals.
NOTE: Always follow the manufacturer label directions of the chemicals you choose to use.
Should you encounter any problems, contact Customer Service at (888) 919-0070 from 8AM to 5PM MST, Monday-Friday.
