I. Power source instructions

1.The Above Ground filter pump system you have purchased is equipped with a standard electrical cord and

plug which should only be connected to a power outlet protected by a 30 Amp

Ground-Fault-Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) that has been installed by a professional electrician and adheres to

local codes and regulations.

2. To avoid electric shock, power cord extensions should not be used.

J. Positioning your filter system

 For the operation of this filter system with Above Ground pools, you need a skimmer installed in your

pool. Either an integrated skimmer (built into the pool wall) or a suspended floating skimmer (attachment

to the pool wall).

 The installation area must allow an adequate safety margin to the pool wall. Refer to local and national

codes for required distance between the filter system and the pool wall.

 We recommend putting the filter system on a concrete slab or similar. Be sure the

Installation site is level.

 Additional installation accessories such as hoses, hoses clamps, and filter sand

(not included) are available from your pool dealer.

K. Filter-Pump Assembly (Figures 1-3)

1. Filter pump & Base Plate assembly

a. Secure water pump to the base plate with the provided pump mounting hardware. Orient as shown.

(Figure1)

b. Place the base plate and pump in the location where the Pump Filter System will be located for normal

operation and within reach of the pool filter and return hoses but with a sufficient safety margin from the edge

of the pool. Attach the filter tank to the base plate as shown. The feet on the bottom of the filter tank fit within

the holes provided on the base plate (Figure 3).

c. Filling sand chamber with sand (Figure 4-7)

 Position the filter pump assembly to the location you have dedicated for its operation. NOTE: Do this

before you fill the chamber with sand as the unit will become heavy and difficult to move around.

 Check to ensure that the bottom strainer is correctly positioned.

 Check to ensure that the tank separator plate is seated properly.

 Check to ensure that the upper distributor is located under the tank cover.

 Fill the sand chamber half full with water.

 Pour #20 Pool Filter Grade silica sand into the SAND FILTER CHAMBER being careful not to allow any

sand to enter the FILTERED WATER CHAMBER.

NOTE: Installation of sand other than #20 Pool Filter Sand will NOT function properly,

and may void your warranty.

d. Secure the lid/valve to the filter tank (Figure 8)

 Ensure the main tank seal around the top of the filter tank is in good condition and securely seated in the

groove. Be sure groove is free of sand.

 Carefully place the tank cover onto the filter tank. The tank cover should be oriented so that the notch on

the cover is aligned with the matching tab on the filter tank-this ensures proper alignment.

 Secure tank cover and filter tank with the tank cover lock ring assembly and tighten with the knob and

bolt.

2. Pump hose connections (Figure 9-18)

a. Attach the 1¼” / 1½” hose connector & collar onto the intake port of the filter pump. Ensure that the

O-ring is installed between the port and the connector.

b. Skimmers: Connect hose from pool skimmer to the intake fitting on the filter pump. Secure with a hose

clamp.

c. Pressure line: Connect the flexible 1½” hose from the upper discharge point on the top of the filter pump to

the connector with designation “PUMP” on the 7-way valve. (Figures 13&18)

d. Return line: Connect a flexible hose (not included with your system) from the 7-way valve port with the

designation “RETURN” to the return fitting or connection for the pool location. Secure all connections

with hose clamps. (Figures 13 & 18)

If using flexible hose: Lightly lubricate the pool return port on the tank cover with petroleum jelly.

Secure with a hose clamp.

NOTE: Be careful not to secure return hose to the waste/backwash port.

e. Backwash: Connect to “WASTE” using backwash hoses and clamps. Backwash hose and clamps are

available from your local swimming pool retail professional.

f. Connecting the filter system

This Pool filter system is designed to connect to pools with standard 1½” diameter hose connectors. If your

pool has a hose connector size and/or type different than described here, you may need to purchase an adapter

at your local pool supply store or hardware retailer.

Before you begin to connect hoses to the filter and pump, make certain that no water can flow through the

intake or return hoses connected to the pool. Some pools have shut off valves in their intake and return ports,

others do not. If you do not have a shut off valve, block the ports with a removable plug to prevent water

from passing into and through the hoses.

These instructions assume that the pool is already assembled with hoses attached to the water intake and

return ports on the pool.

L. Filter system start up

WARNING – Never rotate the valve handle while the pump is running. You will damage the Diverter

Gasket inside the 7-position multi-port valve. Damage to the Diverter Gasket will not be covered under

warranty.

It is important that you read and follow the instructions on proper power supply sources.

Once the filter system has been properly assembled, the tank filled with sand and the hoses connected as described,

you may begin filtration. However, we recommend that you first clean and prepare the new sand. Cleaning the

sand prior to filtering your pool will remove most of the dust and tiny sand particles that may exist in the sand. If

you move straight to filtering, these particles will end up in your pool. To clean the sand, please follow the

instructions below.

Do not turn on the system until advised to do so.

Note: Do not back wash on initial installation if filter media is Cotton Tails. Follow the use instructions

provided with Cotton Tails.

1. Make certain the pump is not plugged into a power supply.

2. Start with the multi-position valve in the 5 Closed position.

3. If you haven’t done so already, fill your pool with water. Ensure that the water level is at least 1”-2” above the

top of the hose intake (Skimmer) and return ports in the pool.

4. Release the shut off valve at the intake port (Skimmer) in the pool. If you plugged the intake port (Skimmer),

remove the plug to allow the water to flow into the intake hose. You may need to partially open one of the large

clear view port covers to act as an air relief valve to completely fill the tank with water.

5. With the filter-pump system installed in a location level lower than your pool’s water level-water will

automatically flow into the pump-filter system.

6. Allow the filter tank to fill with water.

7. Check for leaks and make any adjustments needed to stop leaks found. It may be necessary to use “Teflon” tape

wrapped around the hose fitting threads. Teflon Tape is available at pool or hardware stores if not included in your

filter package.

8. When you first fill your filter tank with sand it is necessary to clean the small particles and dust from the new

sand. If you do not do this you will blow this dust and small particles into your pool. To properly clean the new

sand follow the backwash process described below:

 Turn off the Motor / Pump at the Power Source.

 Attach backwash hose (not included) to backwash port. Available at a local pool store.

 Place the Multi-Port Valve in the “4 – Backwash” position.

 Turn on the Pump

 Run filter in BACKWASH mode until discharge water is clear.

 Turn off the Motor / Pump at the Power Source.

 Place the Multi-Port Valve in the “2 – RINSE” position.

 Turn on the Pump.

 Allow filter to run for 60 seconds to remove any remaining sand or debris residue from pump and valve

plumbing.

 Turn off the Pump at the Power Source.

 Place the Multi-Port Valve in the “1 – Filtration” position.

 Turn on the Pump.

 Your filtration system is running and ready for further operation.

M. 7-Position Multi-Port Filter Valve Position Operation

Setting Complete water flow/function

Filter

Position 1

Picture 19

Function: Regular pool filter action & vacuuming. This is the setting the filter will be

set to most of the time. In this position, water is directed through the top of the filter

where it compresses and flattens down the sand. Contaminations are trapped by the

sand as water makes it way to the bottom strainer, out of the filter and back to the

pool.

Rinse

Position 2

Picture 20

Function: Use after backwashing to clean the filter bed. This should always be done

immediately after backwashing, new sand addition or filter start-up. In this position,

water is directed to the top of the tank where it flushes the valve while sending water

out the waste line.

Circulation

Position 3

Picture 21

Function: Circulate water after chemical treatment. This position is used during

certain pool cleanups and chemical treatments when you don’t want the water

contaminating the sand. In this position, water is only directed through the valve back

to the pool and does not filter through the sand.

Backwash

Position 4

Picture 22

Function: Clean filter of captured debris. This is the position needed to clean the filter

& the sand. You’ll know it is time to backwash when the pressure gauge shows more

than 10 PSI above what it normally reads when the filter is clean. In this position,

water is directed through the bottom strainer, reversing the flow through the tank.

This causes the sand to separate and lift while releasing trapped debris out the waste

port and backwash hose.

Closed

Position 5

Picture 23

Function: Cleaning the hair and lint strainer. This position stops the flow of water

into the pump and filter.

CAUTION: Do not run pump with valve in this position.

Purge/Drain

Position 6

Picture 24

Function: Bypass the filter. This position is ideal for vacuuming pools with large

amounts of debris or after an algae treatment. In this position, water bypassed the

filter and sends all the water and contaminates out the waste line.

Winterize

Position 7

Picture 25

Function: Winterizing and storage. In this position, the valve lever is between

positions which removes pressure from internal valve components for winter

(off-season) storage.

CAUTION: Do not run pump with valve in this position.

N. Manual Vacuuming the Pool

1. For Above Ground Pools

Vacuuming is done in valve position #1, Filter, on the valve. The pool vacuum is connected by use of a pool

vacuum hose and vacuum plate directly into the skimmer. Do not turn on the pump until the pool vacuum is

connected and ready for operation.

Important: The pool vacuum hose must be fully filled with water so that the pump does not lose prime and fill the

tank with air.

P. Winterize the system in cold weather climates

 Unplug the pump from the power source.

 Close the shut off valves or block the flow of water at the pool inlet and return ports.

 Disconnect the filtration system from the pool, drain the tank and hoses.

 Place the handle on the central valve in position 7- ‘Winterize’ to relieve the tension on the spring and

internal valve components. This prevents the Diverter Gasket from becoming stuck to the gasket seat over

the winter and damaged in the spring start up procedure.

 Store the filter system in a location protected from frost and severely cold temperatures. In a garage or

insulated storage shed is recommended.

Q. Important Do’s & Don’ts

DO’S:

 Be aware and make note of the filter pressure when the sand is clean. Backwash when you see an increase

of 10 PSI on the pressure gauge.

 Backwash long enough to clean the sand bed. Let the system backwash until the water leaving the waste

line is clear. Note that backwashing can remove 50 – 300 gal of water from your pool so pay attention.

Also, be aware of local codes regarding pool water disposal as some communities have rules or codes

regarding pool water drainage.

 Protect bottom strainer while replacing or adding sand. Fill the tank with 8” – 12” (about 1/8 of tank

height) of water. Cover the water chamber to avoid getting sand inside.

 Start filter in Backwash mode for several minutes and then for about 1 minute in the rinse mode before

initial startup or after adding new sand. By doing this you can avoid blowing small particles and

impurities from the new sand into your pool. If some debris from new sand does go into your pool,

vacuum it with the system in purge mode, otherwise you may send it back to the pool.

DON’TS: Observe these cautions carefully or you may cause non-warranty damage to your filter

system.

 Move valve handle while the pump is running. It will damage the valve and possibly other equipment as

well.

 Backwash excessively. Sand filters operate more efficiently during mid-cycle. Some level of debris in the

sand bed actually helps filtration and makes the filter more effective. Too much backwashing will reduce

efficiency.

 Vacuum the pool in backwash mode. You can plug up the strainer at the bottom of the filter which will

result in damage to the bottom strainer or at least inefficient operation. Plus you may have to remove all

of the sand to get it unclogged.

 Let filtration system run dry (without water)! If your pump runs dry too long non-warranty damage to the

pump may occur. Damage to the pump caused by dry running is NOT covered by the warranty.

automatically shut off if power supply drops before heat damage can build up causing windings to burn out. The

“thermal overload protector” will allow the motor to automatically restart once the motor has cooled. It will continue

to shut off until the problem is corrected. Be sure to correct cause of overheating.

Motor Hums, But Does NOT Start – Check For:

1. Impeller jammed with debris.

Solution: Have a qualified repair professional open the pump and remove the debris.

2. Motor is frozen either form months in the carton after manufacturing or from over winter storage.

Solution: Insert a flat bladed screw driver into the slot at the back end of the motor shaft and turn motor shaft until it

moves freely. You may have to remove the protective metal cap from some models to access the motor shaft.

NOTE – All FlowXtreme & FX PRO II pumps are run tested with water before leaving the factory.

Pump Won't Prime - Check For:

1. Empty pump/strainer housing

Solution: Make sure pump/strainer housing is filled with water and cover o-ring is clean. Ensure o-ring is properly

seated in the cover o-ring groove. Ensure o-ring is lubricated and that strainer cover is locked firmly in position.

Lubricant will help to create a tighter seal.

2. Loose connections on suction side.

Solution: Tighten pipe/union connections or hose clamps on flexible hose.

NOTE - Any self-priming pump will not prime if there are suction air leaks. Leaks will result in bubbles emanating

from return fittings on In Ground pool wall.

3. Leaking O-ring on valves.

Solution: Tighten, repair, or replace valves.

4. Strainer basket or skimmer basket loaded with debris.

Solution: Remove strainer housing cover or skimmer cover, clean basket, and refill strainer housing with water.

Tighten cover.

Low Flow – Generally, Check For:

1. Clogged or restricted strainer or suction line.

Solution: Check for visible debris and remove if observed. If the problem continues contact a qualified repair

professional.

2. Undersized pool plumbing.

Solution: Correct plumbing size.

3. Plugged or restricted discharge line of filter, valve partially closed (high gauge reading).

Solution: Sand filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions; D.E. filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s

instructions; Cartridge filters – clean or replace cartridge.

4. Air leak in suction (bubbles issuing from return fittings).

Solution: Re-tighten suction and discharge connections using Teflon tape. Inspect other plumbing connections and

tighten as required.

5. Plugged, restricted, or damaged impeller.

Solution: Contact a qualified repair professional to install a new impeller & seal assembly.

Noisy Pump – Check For:

1. Air leak in suction piping, cavitation caused by restricted or undersized suction line or leak at any joint, low water

level in pool, and unrestricted discharge return lines.

Solution: Correct suction condition or tighten fittings, if practical. Holding hand over return fitting will sometimes

prove this point or putting in a smaller return eyeball fitting.

2. Vibration due to improper mounting, etc.

Solution: Mount the pump on a level surface and secure the pump to the equipment pad.

3. Foreign matter in pump housing. Loose stones/debris hitting impeller will cause noise.

Solution: With the pump turned off or disconnected from the power source clean the pump housing and inspect to

remove any debris visible in the inner portion of the pump by the impeller.

4. Motor bearings noisy from normal wear, rust, overheating, or concentration of chemicals causing seal damage.

This will allow chlorinated water to seep into bearings wiping out the grease resulting in rusting of the motor shaft

and causing the bearing to whine.

Solution: All seal leaks must be replaced at once. Have a qualified pump repair specialist replace the motor shaft

seals and inspect the motor shaft for possible damage. If the motor shaft is damaged replace the motor.

Water Leaks Around Intake and Discharge fittings – Check For

1. Lose union fittings or hose fittings.

Solution: Tighten fittings or remove, apply Teflon tape and reinstall.

2. Lose hose clamps on flexible hose.

Solution: Tighten hose clamps using a nut driver or wrench instead of a screwdriver

3. Leaks that continue after trying the above solutions.

Solution: Inspect union fittings and hose fittings for excess plastic mold flashing that can cause hoses and plumbing

not to seal. If plastic mold flashing is found remove it with a fine tooth file or knife blade and re-assemble. If the

fitting still will not seal replace them and reassemble plumbing with the new fittings.
