This product is specifically designed for use with permanent swimming pools and, if
appropriately marked, can also be used with hot tubs and spas. However, it should not be used with
storable pools. A permanently installed pool is one that is built in or on the ground, or within a building,
making it incapable of being easily disassembled for storage. On the other hand, a storable pool is
designed to be disassembled and reassembled for storage while maintaining its original integrity. Please
ensure that this product is only used with permanent swimming pools and hot tubs or spas if appropriately
indicated. Avoid using it with storable pools to prevent potential hazards and ensure optimal performance.
Please note that this unit must only be connected to a supply circuit protected by a
ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). The installation of a GFCI is the responsibility of the installer, and
it should be regularly tested for proper functioning. To test the GFCI breaker, simply press the test button,
which should interrupt power. Pressing the reset button should restore power. If the GFCI fails to operate
as described, it is defective and should be replaced. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without
pressing the test button, it indicates the presence of a ground current
and the possibility of electric shock.
In such cases, do not use the pump. Disconnect it immediately and seek the expertise of a qualified
service representative to address and rectify the issue before resuming use (to test the GFCI breaker).
Risk of electrical shock. Connect this product solely to a branch circuit that is
safeguarded by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). If you are unable to confirm the presence of a
GFCI protection on the circuit, please seek assistance from a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
To minimize the risk of injury caused by suction entrapment hazards, please follow these safety
guidelines:
• Use only properly installed and secured ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment suction
covers for each drain.
• Ensure that each suction cover is installed at least three (3') feet apart, measured from the nearest
point to nearest point.
• Regularly check all suction covers for cracks, damage, and excessive weathering.
• Promptly replace any loose, cracked, damaged, broken, or missing cover with an appropriate
certified one.
• Periodically replace drain covers as necessary since they deteriorate over time due to exposure to
sunlight and weather.
• Avoid placing hair, limbs, or your body near any suction cover, pool drain, or outlet.

OPERATION
NOTE
CAUTION
If the circulation equipment must remain in the plumbing system during the water pressure test,
exercise caution and do not apply more than 10 psi pressure to the system. Additionally, before
removing the pump strainer cover, be sure to release water pressure.
When starting the circulating pump system, ensure that all suction and discharge valves are OPEN,
along with the filter air relief valve (if available) on the filter. This critical step is essential for proper
pump operation and to prevent potential severe personal injuries.
Operate with caution: This pump and sand filter system operates simply by plugging in to turn on,
and power starts immediately. To turn it off, simply unplug, and power is cut off immediately.
This pump and sand filter system is designed to work seamlessly with a Swimming Pool Outdoor
Programmable Timer outlet, enhancing control and efficiency. Highly recommend using such a timer

If it is necessary to perform a water pressure test before the initial use to ensure the plumbing system
is functioning properly, the following criteria should be followed:
• Engage the services of a professional to perform the water pressure test. Their expertise will
ensure accurate and safe testing of the plumbing system.
• Before conducting the test, ensure all XtremepowerUS pump and system components are
removed from the plumbing system. This ensures that the test is performed independently of the
pump and its components.
CAUTION
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. Water cools and lubricates the mechanical shaft
seal. Running the pump dry can damage the seals, causing leaks, flooding, and voiding the
warranty.
Before operating the pump, ensure it has been properly primed as water is essential for cooling and
lubricating the seal.
• To begin, fill the strainer housing with water up to the level of the suction pipe. If any water
leakage is observed from the pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. In such cases, it is essential
to address the leakage issue before proceeding.
• If no leakage occurs, you may proceed to start the pump. However, ensure that you stand at
least 10 feet away from the pump and/or filter after starting it.
24
OPERATION
Avoid installing 90° elbows directly into the pump inlet or outlet. This will help maintain efficient pump operation.
Before removing the strainer cover, follow these steps:
• STOP the pump before proceeding.
• CLOSE the valves in the suction and outlet pipes.
• RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from the pump and piping system.
• After removing the strainer cover, fill the strainer housing with water.
• If necessary, clean and lubricate the strainer cover O-ring with silicone based
lubricant.
• Replace the strainer cover on the strainer housing.
• OPEN the suction and outlet pipe valves.
• Refill basket with water.
CAUTION
NOTE
Primng Instructions:
• Confirm that all connections are secure.
• Clean the pool thoroughly before filling to avoid damage to the pump and filter from excessive dirt and large
particles.
Ensure all suction and discharge valves are fully open before starting the system.
Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
Before starting the pump, make sure the filter vessel is filled with water.
Starting the pump without water may cause damage to the pump.
Primng Instructions: (Continued)
• Open all pool suction and WASTE lines for free water flow to the WASTE line. Press down and turn the top
mount valve handle to the “BACKWASH” position.
• Inspect the valve clamp for proper tightness.
• Prime and activate the pump to fill the filter tank with water.
• Observe the WASTE line for a steady flow of water. Operate the pump for a minimum of 2 minutes or until
the backwash water runs clear, to eliminate impurities and fine sand particles from the media.
• Switch off the pump and adjust the valve to the "RINSE" position. Confirm that all pool suction and WASTE
lines are open for unrestricted water flow. Avoid running the sand filter dry. Maintain a safe distance from
the filter and start the pump.
• Continue running the pump for at least two minutes.
• Turn off the pump and switch the valve to the "FILTRATION" position. Check that all pool suction and
RETURN lines are open, ensuring free water circulation to and from the pool. Keep clear of the filter and
initiate the pump.
• The filter will begin its filtering cycle. Verify that water is circulating back into the pool and record the
operating pressure with a clean filter.
• Inspect the system for leaks. In case of a leak, turn off the pump before addressing it.
• Monitor the filter pressure as it cleans the pool water. When the pressure gauge shows a 5-10 PSI
(0.34-0.69 BAR, this value may change based on the pool's pump and piping) increase over the initial clean
filter reading, initiate the BACKWASH cycle for the filter.
25
OPERATION
• Once the pump is primed, turn it on and open all suction and discharge line valves.
• Allow time for the pump to expel air from the suction lines.
• If there's no water flow within five minutes, stop the pump and re-prime it.
• Check for air leaks and refer to the Troubleshooting section if the pump isn't working correctly.
Checking for Air Bubbles:
• After running the pump for about ten minutes, check the return fittings for air bubbles.
• Continuous air bubbles may indicate a leak in the suction line; fix leaks promptly to avoid further
problems.
Controlling Output:
• Keep the gate valve in the suction line fully open while the pump is running.
• To adjust the output, if necessary, use a valve on the return line.
Never operate the pump with closed suction or discharge valves.
26
OPERATION
BACKWASH (Initial Run)
Use this setting to clean the filter. When the filter pressure gauge rises 5-10 PSI (0.0.34-0.69 BAR, this
reading may vary depending on the pool's pump and general piping system) above the start-up clean
pressure.
• Turn off the pump and set the valve to the "BACKWASH" position.
• Start the pump and backwash until the water in the sight glass is clear. This usually takes about 2
minutes or less, depending on the amount of dirt accumulated, and then turn off the pump.

• Motors are designed to be self-lubricating, eliminating the need for additional lubrication.
• Check the motor for any blockage of air vents on the motor shell. If any debris is found, remove it after
turning off the power source.
• If any leakage is noticed, inspect the shaft seals, and replace them if they show signs of wear.
• Protection from heat:
Shield the motor from direct sunlight by providing shade.
Ensure any enclosure used is well-ventilated to prevent overheating.
Promote ample cross ventilation to keep the motor cool.
• Protection against dirt:
Safeguard the motor from any foreign matter or splashing water.
Avoid storing pool chemicals near the motor to prevent potential damage.
Refrain from sweeping or stirring up dust near the motor while it's in operation.
Remember that motor damage caused by dirt will void the motor warranty.
• Protection against moisture:
Shield the motor from splashing pool water and lawn sprinklers.
Keep it protected from harsh weather conditions.
If the motor gets wet, allow it to dry completely before operating it again. Avoid using the pump if it has
been flooded.
Note that water damage to the motor will void the motor warranty.
Pump Protection
NOTE
CAUTION
Always ensure the power to the pump is disconnected before starting any work.
Never wrap the motor with plastic or any other airtight materials. While it's acceptable to cover the motor
during a storm or for winter storage, it should never be covered while it is operating or expected to be in
operation.
When replacing the motor, ensure that the motor support is correctly positioned to adequately support the size
of the motor being installed.
