How to use

Position the pump on a flat, stable surface near the pool and connect the inlet and outlet hoses according to the pool and pump fittings. Install the cartridge filter element inside the pump housing before powering on. Ensure the electrical connection matches the rated voltage and use a socket with proper grounding and, if required, an RCD (residual-current device). After filling the pool and priming the hoses, switch on the unit and check for steady flow and leak-free connections. Replace the cartridge filter routinely according to water conditions and manufacturer guidance to maintain optimal filtration.

Usage recommendations

Run the pump for several hours daily during warm weather to maintain water clarity; increase runtime after high bather load or storms. Clean or replace the cartridge more frequently when the pool is used heavily or when the water appears cloudy. Always disconnect power before servicing the unit and follow local electrical safety rules for outdoor equipment.
