FILTER PUMP STATIONARY MOUNTING OPTION
Flip outward the two mounting hole flaps located under the pump base. These holes are provided
because various country's regulations, especially in the European community, require the filter pump
to be secured to the ground or to a base in a permanent upright position.
The filter pump can be mounted on a cement base or onto a wooden structure to prevent accidental
falling over. Total assembly must exceed 18kg. The drawings on the following show two possible ways
of upright mounting. Lock nuts and bolts are not included.
CLEANING OR REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGE
It is recommended that the filter cartridge be replaced at least every 2 weeks or as needed.
Regularly monitor the filter clogging level.
For Model FP638:
The filter pump is equipped with a filter gauge, which indicates
when to clean or replace the filter cartridge:
•
Green zone: the filter cartridge is clean, no need to clean
or replace.
•
Yellow zone: the filter cartridge is dirty; it needs to be
cleaned.
•
Red zone: the filter cartridge is excessively dirty; it shall
be cleaned or replaced. After cleaning or replacing the
cartridge, you must reset the filter gauge by pressing the
button under the filter gauge, see Fig 1. The filter gauge
will turn to green.
NOTE: To ensure a correct filter gauge reading, remove any accessories (skimmer, lights, sprayer,
auto cleaner, etc) from the filtration system inlet and outlet line. See "Troubleshooting Guide" section
for details.
When the pump is not running (stand-by mode) or OFF, and the filter gauge indicator is yellow or red,
press the button under the filter gauge to reset it (back to green) after cleaning or replacing the filter
cartridge.
The following steps provide instructions on how to clean or replace the filter cartridge.
1.
Make sure filter pump is not operating. Disconnect line cord.
2.
To prevent water from escaping the pool, unscrew the pool inlet nozzle (10) and strainer grid
(11) from the strainer connectors and insert the hat-like plugs into the strainer connectors.
3.
In a counter-clockwise motion, remove the filter housing collar (12) and threaded cover (3). Be
careful not to lose the cover seal (4).
4.
Remove filter cartridge (5) to clean it. The filter may be cleaned from the spray from a water hose.
5.
Use judgement as to whether cartridge needs to be replaced. Only use the original Intex cartridge
for replacement. See "Parts Reference" section for detail.
6.
Return cartridge to filtering position.
7.
Return the seal (4) and threaded cover (3) to their original positions and in a clockwise direction
rescrew the housing collar (12) onto the filter housing.
8.
After service, open the air release valve, remove the plugs, allow any air to escape through the
valve before tightening the valve again and replace the pool inlet nozzle (10) and strainer grid
(11). The pump is now primed with water again and may be turned on.
9.
Check the inlet and outlet openings regularly to ensure they are not obstructed thus preventing a
good filtration.
10. The disposal of any used filter media should be in accordance with applicable local regulation
and legislation.
