Operating Instructions

Your Intex C330 Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump is designed for efficient water circulation and filtration. It has a pump flow rate of 330 GPH (1,250 lph) and a system flow rate of 300 GPH (1,136 lph).

The pump incorporates HydroAeration Technology, which transforms the above-ground pool industry by providing revolutionary water aeration benefits:

• Improved Circulation and Filtration: Injecting air into the water accelerates circulation and joins fine particles into larger clusters that can be filtered more effectively.

• Improved Water Clarity: Aeration removes minerals through oxidation, leading to ultimate water clarity.
• Increased Negative Ions: More negative ions are generated at the water surface, which improves overall air quality around the pool.

Use the built-in energy-saving timer to set desired operating hours for automatic filtration.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your filter pump is crucial for maintaining clean and clear pool water. The C330 Krystal Clear Cartridge uses Type H filter cartridges (Item #29007E).

• Filter Cartridge Cleaning: The filter cartridge should be cleaned regularly. A cartridge gauge on the pump notifies when cleaning or replacement is needed.

• Filter Cartridge Replacement: For optimal filtration, the Type H filter cartridge should be changed every two weeks.
• Sediment Release Valve: Periodically open the sediment release valve at the bottom of the filter housing to drain accumulated debris.
• Winterization: Before winter, disconnect and drain the pump and hoses. Store all components in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Intex C330 Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump, consider the following common solutions:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the filter cartridge is dirty and needs cleaning or replacement. Ensure hoses are not kinked or blocked. Verify that the pool's inlet and outlet fittings are clear of debris.
• Pump Not Starting: Ensure the pump is properly plugged into a functional GFCI outlet. Check the GFCI for a tripped breaker and reset if necessary.
• Air in System: If you hear gurgling noises or see excessive bubbles from the return jet, there might be air in the system. Turn off the pump, open the air release valve until water flows out, then close it and restart the pump. Check all hose connections for tightness.
• Leaks: Inspect all hose connections and O-rings for proper seating and tightness. Replace any worn or damaged seals.

If problems persist, refer to the official Intex support resources or contact customer service.
