Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your pump, ensure it is placed on a flat, level surface at least 2 meters away from the pool edge for safety. Connect the provided hoses to the pump and the pool's corresponding intake and outlet points, ensuring all clamps are tightened securely to prevent leaks. Before operation, always prime the pump by ensuring all air has escaped the system. For care, turn off and unplug the pump before performing any maintenance. Regularly inspect the filter cartridge for buildup; typically, it should be rinsed every few days and replaced entirely every two weeks or sooner if the pump's flow output visibly slows down.
