closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) to the pool.

5. CAUTION: This pump is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with permanently-installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being

readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that

it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.

OWNER’S MANUAL

6. CAUTION: For continued protection against possible electric shock, this unit is to be mounted to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.

7. Do not bury the cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.

8. The unit is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button.

Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being

pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump, and have the problem corrected by

a qualified service representative before using.

9. The Filter Pump is to be assembled by an adult; care should be taken in the unpacking and assembling of the Filter Pump. This pool may contain accessible

potentially hazardous sharp edges or sharp points that are a necessary part of the function of the Filter Pump.

10. If a drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, evisceration,

or drowning. Repair or replace the drain or suction outlet cover before allowing the pool to be used. During nighttime pool use, artificial lighting shall be used to

illuminate all safety signs, ladders, steps, deck surfaces, and walks.

11. The floor of the pool shall be visible at all times from the outside perimeter of the pool.

12. Post a list of emergency telephone numbers such as the nearest available police, fire, ambulance, and/or rescue unit. These numbers are to be kept near the

telephone that is closest to the pool.

13. Basic lifesaving equipment, including one of the following should be on hand at all times:

• A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherd's crook) not less than twelve feet (12’) [366 cm] long.

• A minimum one-fourth inch (¼”) [6.35 mm] diameter rope as long as one and one half (1 ½) times the maximum width of the pool or fifty feet (50’) [15.24 meters],

whichever is less, which has been firmly attached to a Coast Guard-approved ring buoy having an outside diameter of approximately fifteen inches (15”) [38.1 cm],

or similarly approved flotation device.

14. Pool shall be located at a minimum distance of 6 ft (1.83 m) from any receptacle, and all 125-volt 15- and 20-ampere receptacles located within 20 ft (6.0 m) of

the

pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), where distances are by measuring the shortest path the supply cord of an appliance

connected

to the receptacle would follow, without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway with hinged or sliding door, window opening, or other effective permanent

barrier, to the inside pool wall.

Circulation Systems

1. The installer shall follow written instructions regarding positioning of all equipment connected to the circulation systems.

2. The installer shall follow written instructions provided for operating the circulation system components.

3. All circulation system components and pump that require replacement or servicing shall be installed according to the pump’s instruction manual.

4. Circulation equipment shall be installed per manufacturer’s instructions to provide proper mounting and support, to prevent damage from misalignment, settlement,

and vibration, and to minimize the potential for the accumulation of debris and moisture. Please refer to pump’s instruction manual.

Chemicals

For safety sake, ensure the deepest part of the pool is always visible. The user must properly maintain the clarity of the pool water at all times. Check the pH and

chlorine levels periodically and make sure they are within the recommended limits. Additional water treatment chemicals might be needed from time to time. Have

the water sample tested by a local pool supply store to determine if additional chemical is needed. Turn on the pump for the recommended hours daily. If you are

unsure of the time frames please refer to support.polygroupstore.com for the recommended Pump Operation Hours based on pool types and sizes. Clean and

replace filter cartridge frequently. Replace only with a genuine BLUE WAVE Brand filter cartridge. Refer to the Filter Pump manual for additional water care

information.

Risk of Entrapment

1. Entrapment Avoidance: There shall be no protrusions or other obstruction in the swimming area, which may cause entrapment or entanglement of the user. If

a suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, evisceration, or drowning.

Repair or replace the suction outlet cover before allowing the pool to be used.

2. DANGER! TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, CLOSE THE POOL OR SPA TO BATHERS IF ANY SUCTION OUTLET COVER/GRATE IS MISSING,

BROKEN, OR INOPERATIVE.

3. Never play or swim near drains or suction fittings. Your body or hair may be trapped causing permanent injury or drowning.

4. Never enter the pool or spa if a suction fitting or drain cover is loose, broken, or missing.

5. Immediately notify the pool/spa owner or operator if you find a drain cover loose, broken, or missing.

Risk of Drowning

1. Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or other approved barriers around all sides of pool. State or local laws or codes may

require fencing or other approved barriers. Check state or local laws and codes before setting up the pool.

OWNER’S MANUAL

IMPORTANT! This Skimmer Filter Pump is protected by a thermal switch, a safety device that stops the pump from running when it's overheated, to

prevent pump damage and prolong service life. If your pump turns off automatically, it’s likely the pool water temperature is too high or the water flow

through the pump is insufficient for cooling the pump down. Check and correct the water flow, let the motor rest for at least 15 minutes and then

restart the pump by pressing the RESET button of the GFCI Plug, or run the pump at night when the temperature is lower. If pump turns off

automatically again, inspect if the rotor is blocked by dirt.

PUMP MAINTENANCE

PUMP MOTOR CARE

1. To clean the Filter Cartridge

a. Turn off and unplug the Pump. Slide open the Top Cover

, and take out the Strainer

Basket

and Filter Cartridge.

b. Pressure wash the Cartridge thoroughly (including

between the pleats) with a garden hose to remove

larger debris. Then allow the Cartridge to dry, and

carefully brush away smaller and fine particles of dirt.

Do NOT scrub the pleats, or the Cartridge will wear out

faster than it should.

To ensure pool water stays clean,please clean the

filter cartridge every day and change when required.

d. Reassemble the parts in reverse order. Then you can restart the Pump.

2. You may need to clean or replace the Filter Cartridge when it’s dirty, or before the correct

chlorine and pH levels are attained. Therefore, it’s recommended to keep at least one spare

cartridge on hand at all times. 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 it

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, p. 12).

5. Dispose of any used filter media in accordance with applicable regulations/legislation.

6. Always use genuine BLUE WAVE Filter Cartridges; they are available at

where you purchased your pool or from polygroupstore.com

FILTER CARTRIDGE USE & CARE

1. Check the pump output daily. If water flow reduces, see Symptom 2 of TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (p. 17).

2. Check the Pump, Hoses and Fittings for leaks. If a leak is found, see Symptom 4 of TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.

3. It’s essential to replace any damaged parts as soon as possible. Use only spare parts from approved, reliable dealers, or from

polygroupstore.com

4. Inspect the filter and all filter media regularly to ensure that there’s no build-up of detritus that prevents good filtration. See FILTER CARTRIDGE

USE & CARE below.

5. Run the Pump for the recommended number of hours daily. If you are unsure of the time frame, please see Pump Operation Hours at

support.polygroupstore.com

1. The following items are required to get your pool ready for use. They are available at polygroupstore.com or your local pool supplies stores:

a. Test kit – for checking the chlorine and pH levels of the pool water

b. Floating chlorine dispenser (not included) and chlorine tablet – for water disinfection and prevention of the growth of algae

c. pH control chemicals – for adjusting the pH level up (soda ash) or down (acid)

d. Algaecides – to eliminate algae

e. Superchlorinator – to destroy (“shock”) the combined chlorine, ammonia, nitrogen, and organic compounds that build up in pool water over time and with

extended use

f. Leaf net with handle – for removing leaves, trash, insects, etc. from the pool

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 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 using a maintenance kit with vacuum. You can get the kit from polygroupstore.com

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.

STEP 2: Rotor Inspection/Replacement

The Pump

is consisted of a Rotor Assembly

and its related parts. If the Rotor and/or its parts is/are broken, or the Rotor, even in perfect condition, is not

seated in place between the Volute Cover

and Pump Body

, the Pump will not function properly.

1. Loosen the Volute Cover Lock Nut

;

or Bolts

(depends on the pump model), and remove the Volute Cover

2. Pull the Rotor Assembly

out from the Pump Body

Inspect the Rotor (see image below) to make sure that the Rotor Shaft, Magnet Axle, Impeller and other parts are intact. If either of them is broken, you can

purchase a new Rotor Assembly at polygroupstore.com without having to replace the whole Pump.

For more details, please see Pool Support – Filtration System Troubleshooting at support.polygroupstore.com

3. Once the inspection or replacement is done, carefully insert the Rotor Assembly

back into the Pump Body

. The force of the magnet will pull the Rotor

down in place.

4. Align the Volute Cover

with the top Shaft End Cap, then tighten with the Volute Cover Lock Nut

;

or Bolts

(depends on the pump model).

5. Attach the Rubber Nozzle

to the outlet of the Pump Body

5. Slowly take out the Motor Assembly

. Be careful not to lose the Rubber

Nozzle

or Canister Gasket

OWNER’S MANUAL

STEP 3: Pump Reassembly/Replacement

1. Lubricate the Canister Gasket

, then insert it back into the groove (inner

groove for SFX600/SFX1000) at the bottom of the Skimmer Canister

TOP VIEW

Make sure that the key of the Canister

is slotted into the notch on the Pump

Outlet of Canister and Rubber Nozzle

on the pump should be aligned.

2a. If your Pump is removed from the pool, slowly insert the Motor Assembly

back into the upside-down Canister. There's an indent on the inside of

Canister (only visible from bottom), which needs to be aligned with an

indent at the bottom of the Motor (marked "ALIGN"); to this end, make

sure that the arrow of the "ALIGN" mark is pointing to the Canister indent.

BOTTOM VIEW OF PUMP & CANISTER

IMPORTANT: make sure that the cord of the

Motor Assembly

is placed through the Motor

Seal Nut

BEFORE replacing the Pump.

2b. If your Pump is left attached to the pool, reach in through the Canister to

pull the Motor Assembly up and insert it back into the Canister. Make sure

that the key of the Canister is slotted into the notch on the Pump to align

the Rubber Nozzle

with the hose opening of the Canister, otherwise

the Pump may leak even already locked in place.

3. Once the Motor is correctly aligned, match the threads of the Motor Seal

Nut

to that of the Canister, and tighten by twisting the Nut counterclockwise.

IMPORTANT: make sure the Nut and Canister are not cross-threaded;

otherwise leaks may occur.
