YOUR MONARCH SERIES CARTRIDGE FILTER

Congratulations on your purchase of a quality product from the
Monarch Series range of Pool and Spa Equipment. You are assured of
many years of reliable and efficient performance from your Monarch
Series Filter backed by a 5 year tank guarantee.*

Monarch Series EcoPure® Cartridge Filters have been specifically
designed for the filtration of spa and swimming pool water. They
should not be used for any other purpose without first consulting
your Monarch Series Dealer or the Davey Customer Service Centre.

Monarch Series Cartridge Filters provide economy, high performance
and convenience in a well-designed pressure filter. The polyester
element can be removed quickly for rinse cleaning without water
loss. Monarch Series Cartridge Filters feature large filter areas which
ensure even water distribution, peak filtration performance and
longer filter cycles.

The corrosion-resistant construction of Monarch Series Cartridge
Filters provides long-life and durability. Monarch Series Cartridge
Filters are capacity matched with Monarch Series pool pumps
forming a total pool filtration system that lasts and lasts. Monarch
Series Cartridge Filters are also very suitable for use with other pool
pumps. Take care to match the pump and filter capacities to gain
maximum performance and efficiency.

SPARKLING CLEAR WATER DIFFERENCE

Cartridge filtration is an effective trouble-free proven method of
filtration. Pool water enters the filter 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 flow decreases. When
the pressure reaches an unacceptable level, the element must be
removed and cleaned. (Spray washing with a common garden hose
is generally sufficient).

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LOCATION

The filter should be placed in its permanent location, preferably as
close to the pool as practicable. Position the filter tank and pump
on a level concrete slab or similar base. Allow sufficient space
around the filter for routine maintenance and provide for adequate
ventilation and drainage.

Place the pump in position on the slab and locate the filter alongside
with the appropriate pump inlet connection oriented towards the
pump. Refer to the specification section for the minimum clearance
measurements required for each model.

WEATHER PROTECTION

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

ASSEMBLY

Assemble the pressure gauge to the filter lid using Teflon 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 filter are located below pool water level, it is
necessary to fit isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and
the pool, and in the return line from the filter to the pool.

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

1. PUMP TO THE FILTER

Monarch Series 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
the barrel unions provided, connect the pool pump delivery piping
to the selected inlet port. Tighten by hand only. Ensure the oring on
the fitting 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 filter fitting marked ‘OUTLET’. Tighten the fitting by hand
only. Ensure the oring on the fitting is clean, lubricated with oring
lubricant and in the correct position.

The filter base is provided with four mounting holes to enable it to
be secured, if 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 filter 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 filter for a sufficient time to circulate the total
pool water volume daily. The filter 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 filter’ reading as in (4) above, it is time to clean the
element/s. (See “Cartridge cleaning procedure”)
