how do you attach the magnets to the pump - doesn't seem to fit over the red button

It it's a tight fit for sure. Press pretty hard and roll in a circular motion. Should fit.

If your referring to the clip that attaches to the motor It slids on. that suction attaches to the glass. the magnet just attaches to the outside of the glass holding them together.

Apply very firm pressure and wiggle the magnet around while doing so. It will go in. It's just very tight to ensure it doesn't come off.

It's awful ! I just got so I hated it. I couldn't get it back together then I would break off the red ball! So it was broken. I went through three of these. Its another piece of junk. They got my $$$$$

Dad2Three is right. Just one more note on this. At least on my pump, the nut on the head of the pump was impossible for me to loosen by hand since it was so tight. I could only loosen it with the careful use of a vice grip. I didn't want to break the nut, so I put wrapped a rag around it to avoid scratching or damaging the nut, and I didn't squeeze too hard on the nut. I was able to loosen it this way and then do what Dad2Three said to make it work for presta valves.

Where the tube connects to the pump there are two little dials. Make sure you turn those on. Turn them to adjust the settings.

I have white connector and that gets inserted into the pump. This connector comes attached to the pump. Best way is to remove the connector from the pump, insert the return tube to the connector, and then push the connector to the pump to get a tight fit.

Just push down and a little forward on the "V" shaped section which has little indention (looks like a small dot) on top of the device where the spring is located. It takes a bit to get the hang of it.

The plastic "filter" on the unit pops off, and there is a round fitting on the pump where you can attach a connector to a separate filter unit. That's how I set mine up.

Yeah, I feel pretty sad about that too. I just bought a simple pump, the battery one, and cut off part of the medium-size connector... It seems like a little bit stupid, but it works. Hope my words can help you.:)

That may be where the capacitor is housed. One of the pumps I purchased earlier seemed not to fit because of this housing. I just removed the screws on the housing and moved it to the side when I used the locking collar to hold the pump in place. I then put it back in place and replaced the screws. This was inconvenient but not too bad and I only had to do it once. I know this does not answer your question exactly but it may help.

You will need to do some pluming. We used several different items, from a pluming supply and placed it between the pump and the filter. some of the items needed were a piece of plastic hose and elbows. The barbed connectors came with the ultra violet lamp. then the hoses were placed on the barbed connectors. A plastic pull was used to hold the hose tight. elbows were placed to get the correct angle to then connect to the hose to the filter. Not knowing how your pump was connected to your filter, this is as much info as I can give you.

The pump comes with a set of slightly longer screws just for that purpose. They worked well for me.

I agree it requires a little fiddling around to get the pump and ceramic top lined up properly. My best advice is to put the top on first and then reach under and move the pump around so that it's lined up with the spout.

My old unit, which I have had for over 7 years, you had to pump it up then twist to secure it. The new pump is great. All you have to do is pump it up and no twist is needed. Just put it gently on floor next to you then when ready to release just push little release button to release. Hope this is helpful.

Hey Steve, look at the zoomed in view on this link and place the spring on and apply force with your fingers to put the other end of the spring over the plastic part, thats how i figured it out. Good luck: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Swimline-Hydrotools-8165-Swimming-Pool-Flexible-Weighted-Vacuum-Head-w-Brushes-/230962030717?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BIEW%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D21%26pmod%3D230925285509%26ps%3D54&nma=true&si=FTL60A9NWhce1WjixSUnm54Wp5c%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I actually had to use epoxy to attach the hose to the pump. And that was a smaller hose than is attached to the filter. I used an adapter to make them fit together.

Just lift the pump out and pour it from the top. A small funnel might help.

I believe you actually have to turn the pump part. It will pop up once you do that.

I'm trying to remember. I think you have to remove the plastic ring between the pump and the cap. Sometimes there's a little arrow and you have to turn in that direction to unlock the pump. Truthfully, my pump wasn't working at first. I turned it in the direction the arrow pointed many times and it still wouldn't pump. I gave it a good whack on the counter and then the pump finally worked and has worked ever since
