Key Features and Safety
- Safety First: Always adhere to the important safety instructions provided to prevent injury and equipment damage. Key warnings include proper electrical grounding, avoiding cord damage, and ensuring the pump is not used when people are in the pool.
- Proper Installation: The sand filter must be placed on solid, level ground, at least 3.5 meters away from the poolside. For safety, the unit may need to be secured to a pedestal.
