Operating the Pool System

Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump

The included Krystal Clear Sand Filter pump (2,100 gph, 110-120V) is essential for maintaining clear and sparkling pool water. Ensure the pump is properly connected to the pool's inlet and outlet fittings as per the pump's specific instructions.

• Before operating, ensure the pump is filled with the correct amount of filter sand (not included).
• Always check that all hoses are securely attached and free of leaks.
• The pump is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which is a safety feature designed to shut off the pump if electrical current is exposed to water. Regularly test the GFCI as instructed in the pump manual.
• Operate the pump for several hours daily to ensure adequate water circulation and filtration.

Maintenance

Water Chemistry and Cleaning

Regular maintenance is crucial for a clean and safe swimming environment. The included chemical maintenance kit provides basic supplies for water treatment. Always follow the instructions on the chemical products for proper dosage and handling.
