RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The pump is to be supplied by an isolating transformer or supplied through
a residual current device RCD having a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30 mA. The plug of pump shall be at least 3.50m away from the pool.
The appliance must be supplied by earthed power source. Extension cords can’t
be used. The pump cannot be using while people are inside the pool. Forbid the
access of the pool in case of damage of the filter pump. DO NOT BURY CORD.
Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other
equipment. The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the
appliance should be scrapped.
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.
IMPORTANT
Using the pump with an unmatched electrical supply is dangerous and will
result in catastrophic failure of pump.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

breaker and lock breaker door. Failure to do so will result in increased risk
of shock, injury and possibly death.DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG OR
MODIFY THE PLUG IN ANY WAY. DO NOT USE ADAPTOR PLUGS. Consult a qualified
electrician for any questions related to the validity of your plugs grounding.
Handle the pump with care. Do not pull or carry the pump by the power cord.
Never pull a plug from the outlet by yanking the power cord. Keep cord free
from abrasions. Sharp objects, oil, moving parts, and heat should never be
exposed to the filter pump. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8

For France only
Electric installations should follow national wiring rules. Consult a
qualified electrician for any questions. Only the media provided or specified
by the manufacturer is to be used with product installation. It is essential
to check that the suction openings are not obstructed. It is advisable to stop
the filtration during maintenance operations on the filtration system.
Regularly monitor the filter clogging level. A weekly check is recommended for
cleaning. Minimum daily filtration operating time of 8 hours is recommended to
ensure clear pool water. It is essential to change any damaged element or set
of elements as soon as possible. Use only parts approved by person responsible
for placing the product on the market. All filters and filter media shall be
inspected regularly to ensure that there is not a build-up of detritus thus
preventing good filtration. The disposal of any used filter media should also
be in accordance with applicable regulations/legislation. In case of doubt on
the pump or any circulation devices, contact a qualified installer, or the
manufacturer/importer/distributor. The water circulation installation shall
comply with the European as well as national/local regulations, especially
when dealing with electrical issues. Any change of valve position, pump size,
grille size can cause a change of the flow and the suction velocity can be
increased. Mind all the safety requirements and recommendations. Verify that
the equipment components represent the filter pump model that you had intended
to purchase.

Place pump on a solid and level ground. Pay attention to position of pool and
pump so adequate ventilation, drainage, and access for cleaning is available.
Never place pump in an area that may accumulate water, or in an area where
foot traffic will flow around the pool. It is necessary to have the plug
accessible after installation of the pool.
Atmospheric conditions may affect the performance and life span of your filter
pump. Unnecessary wear and tear may occur during periods of cold, heat and
