Your Davey Cartridge Filter

Congratulations on your purchase of a quality product from the Davey range
of Pool and Spa Equipment. You are assured of many years of reliable and

efcient performance from your Davey Filter backed by Davey’s 5 year tank

guarantee.*

Davey Crystal Clear™ Cartridge Filters have been specically designed
for the ltration of spa and swimming pool water. They should not be used
for any other purpose without rst consulting your Davey Dealer or Davey

Customer Service Centre.

Davey Cartridge Filters provide economy, high performance and
convenience in a well-designed pressure lter. The polyester element can

be removed quickly for rinse cleaning without water loss. Davey Cartridge

Filters feature large lter areas which ensure even water distribution, peak
ltration performance and longer lter cycles.

The corrosion-resistant construction of Davey Cartridge Filters provides
long-life and durability. Davey Cartridge Filters are capacity matched with
Davey pool pumps forming a total pool ltration system that lasts and
lasts. Davey Cartridge Filters are also very suitable for use with other pool
pumps. Take care to match the pump and lter capacities to gain maximum
performance and efciency.

The Sparkling Clear Water Difference

Cartridge ltration is an effective trouble-free proven method of ltration.
Pool water enters the lter and passes through a polyester element

cartridge. Suspended particles are trapped and the water is returned to the

pool. As the build-up of dirt in the element increases, so the water pressure
rises and the ow decreases. When the pressure reaches an unacceptable
level, the element must be removed and cleaned. (Spray washing with a
common garden hose is generally sufcient).

* Refer to guarantee statement for full details

Installation and Operating Instructions Location

The lter should be placed in its permanent location, preferably as close to
the pool as practicable. Position the lter tank and pump on a level concrete
slab or similar base. Allow sufcient space around the lter for routine

maintenance and provide for adequate ventilation and drainage.

Place the pump in position on the slab and locate the lter alongside with

the appropriate pump inlet connection oriented towards the pump. Refer to

the specication section for the minimum clearance measurements required

for each model.

Weather Protection

Davey Cartridge Filters are constructed of corrosion resistant materials.
However, to ensure years of reliable performance, it is recommended that
the ltration system is adequately protected from the weather.

Assembly

Assemble the pressure gauge to the lter lid using Teon tape on the male

thread. Do not over-tighten.

Pipe Connections

Piping should be independently supported and not impose heavy loads on

the lter or pump. Use 40mm or 50mm pipe for pump and pool return lines.
50mm should always be used if length of piping is over 15m.

If the pump and lter are located below pool water level, it is necessary to
t isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and the pool, and in the
return line from the lter to the pool.

1. Pump to the Filter

Davey Cartridge Filters are equipped with two inlet ports marked ‘INLET’.

Select the inlet port most suitable for the installation and plug the other

inlet port with the blanking cap provided. Using quick connect couplings,

connect the pool pump delivery piping to the selected inlet port. Tighten

by hand only. Ensure the oring on the tting is clean, lubricated with oring

lubricant and in the correct position.

2. Filter to Pool Return

Using quick connect couplings, connect the pool return piping to the lter
tting marked ‘OUTLET’. Tighten the tting by hand only. Ensure the oring
on the tting is clean, lubricated with oring lubricant and in the correct

position.

The lter base is provided with four mounting holes to enable it to be
secured, if required.

Barrel unions need to be hand tightened on. No sealant, glues or
silicones are required.

Filter Operation

1. Make sure the pump is primed according to manufacturer’s directions.

2. Be sure all valves are open on suction and discharge lines. Ensure

the air bleed valve on the lter lid is open and the lid lock ring is in

place and secure.

3. Start the pump. Close the air bleed valve when water is expelled.

4. To determine the correct operating conditions with a clean lter, check
that the pressure gauge reading is 80kPa or below.

5. Record the pressure gauge reading or mark the needle position on

the face of the pressure gauge.

6. Operate the lter for a sufcient time to circulate the total pool water
volume daily. The lter should also be operated at all times the pool is
in use and for about one hour afterwards. During winter, the
running time may be reduced. Filter operating requirements will vary
for spa applications, depending upon the system design, type and

size of spa. Consult your builder or spa supplier.

7. When the pressure gauge reading is 50 - 70kPa higher than the
‘clean lter’ reading as in (4) above, it is time to clean the element/s.
(See “Cartridge cleaning procedure”)

Cartridge Cleaning Procedure

When the lter gauge reading is 50 - 70kPa above the clean lter gauge
reading, cleaning the element cartridge is required. To perform the cleaning

procedure :

1. Switch off the pump.

2. Close isolating valves on suction and discharge lines where tted.

3. Open the air bleed valve on the lter lid, unscrew the lock ring and
remove the lter lid.

4. Lift the element/s out.

5. In most cases the element can be easily cleaned with a garden hose,

using good velocity sprayed directly on the pleats.

NOTE: Algae, calcium, clay, sun tan oil and body oils can form
a coating on the element which may not be easily removed with
normal hosing. These materials can be removed by soaking the
element in a de-greaser and/or de-scaler. Your local Davey Dealer
will be able to recommend suitable products.

Failure to undertake regular maintenance may cause damage not
covered by warranty.

Cartridge Re-Assembly Instructions

1. Install the cartridge/s & centre pipe so that it is located in the bottom

spigot.

2. Ensure the lter lid oring is clean, lubricated with oring lubricant and

located in the bottom groove of the lid.

3. Replace the lid and press rmly in place. Screw down the lock ring,
hand tight is sufcient - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

4. Make sure the pump is primed according to manufacturer’s

directions.

5. Ensure all valves are open on suction and discharge lines.

6. Start the pump.

7. Close the air bleed valve when water is expelled.

Water Quality

Maintaining balanced water chemistry is important to the life of your pool
pump. This pump is designed to be used with Pool & Spa water, balanced
in accordance with Langlier Saturation Index, with a pH level of between

7.2 and 7.8 and is regularly treated with a chlorine sanitising agent with the

level not exceeding 3000PPM.

Please consult your local pool shop regularly to have your water tested.

Filter Care

The Davey Cartridge Filter is the heart of the pool equipment installation.

Proper care and maintenance will add many years of service and

enjoyment to your pool. Keep the exterior of the lter clean using a mild

detergent and water.

Trouble Shooting

Reduced ow of water to the pool generally indicates the lter is ready
to be cleaned. Check the lter pressure gauge. (See section on ‘Filter
Operation’). If cartridge cleaning is required, perform the steps described
earlier in ‘Cartridge Cleaning Procedure’. If there is still reduced ow after
cleaning, check for blocked or plugged lines which could restrict the volume

of water entering the pool.

In the event of installation or operation difculties with your Davey Filtration
Equipment, contact the supplier from whom the lter was purchased or your
nearest Authorised Davey Pool Equipment Service Centre. For assistance

in locating your nearest dealer contact the Davey Customer Service Centre.

Removal of the Filter

Should it be necessary to remove the lter, the following procedure should

be followed :

1. Switch off the pump and remove the plug from the power point.

2. Open the air bleed valve on the lter lid.

3. Close isolating valves where tted.

4. Remove: – piping connection to the pump

– piping connection to the pool return

5. Remove lter.

NOTE: When making any enquiries about your Davey Filtration Equipment,
be certain to quote the Model Number from the nameplate on the equipment.

Danger HIGH PRESSURE. Relieve internal pressure before adjusting

clamps or opening lter.

To avoid explosion and possible severe or fatal injury, lter pressure must
not exceed 280kPa. Do not test lter with compressed air. Check that all
clamps and fasteners are in good condition and are rmly secured before
pressurising system. Never adjust clamps or fasteners while lter is pres-

surised.

Caution! Do not add chemicals directly to the pool skimmer. Adding undi-

luted chemicals may damage pump and lter and void warranty.

DANGER - Hazardous suction. Do not block water entry into ltration

system with any part of your body as the pressure can trap hair or body
parts, causing severe injury or death. Do not block suction. Turn off pump
immediately if someone becomes trapped.

Small children using the pool or spa must ALWAYS have close adult super­vision.

Routine Maintenance tasks – to maximise the life of your pool equipment & personal

safety, use this checklist once a week. Turn pump off rst.

a. Make sure that any pressure gauges are in working condition and the operating pressure

is within limits as specied on the product.

b. Make sure that each suction inlet, and main drain has a cover that is securely attached

and in safe working condition.

c. Make sure that all skimmer covers are securely attached and in safe working condition.

These should be replaced every 3 to 4 years.

d. Remove any obstructions or debris from the main drain cover.
e. Ensure the skimmer baskets and the pump hair and lint pots are free of leaves and de-

bris at least once a week.

f. Remove obstructions and combustibles from around the pump motor.

g. Make sure all wiring connections are clean and that all wiring and electrical equipment

is in good condition. Damaged wiring must be repaired or replaced by a qualied electri-

cian as soon as damage is discovered.

h. Check water balance and sanitiser levels at your local pool shop.
