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).
* Refer to guarantee statement for full details

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.
• Page 3 •
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”)
• Page 4 •
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
fitted.
3. Open the air bleed valve on the lter lid, unscrew the lock ring
and remove the filter lid.
4. Lift the element 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 sufficient - 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 7.6 and is regularly treated with a
chlorine sanitising agent with the level not exceeding 3PPM.
Please consult your local pool shop regularly to have your water
tested.

FILTER CARE
The Monarch Series 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
filter clean using a mild detergent and water.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Reduced flow of water to the pool generally indicates the filter is
ready to be cleaned. Check the filter 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 flow after cleaning, check for blocked or plugged lines
which could restrict the volume of water entering the pool.
Dirt & debris returning to your pool may indicate the pressure
relief valve has been activated. Remove & clean the element
and check that valve inside base of filter is free of foreign
matter.
In the event of installation or operation difficulties with your
Monarch Series Filtration Equipment, contact the supplier from
whom the filter was purchased or contact the Davey Customer
Service Centre for assistance.
REMOVAL OF THE FILTER
Danger HIGH PRESSURE. Relieve internal pressure before
adjusting locking rings or opening filter.
Should it be necessary to remove the filter, 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 filter.

NOTE: When making any enquiries about your Davey Filtration
Equipment, be certain to quote the Model Number from the
nameplate on the equipment.
To avoid explosion and possible severe or fatal injury, filter
pressure must not exceed 280kPa. Do not test filter with
compressed air. Check that all clamps and fasteners are in
good condition and are firmly secured before pressurising
system. Never adjust clamps or fasteners while filter is
pressurised.
DANGER - Hazardous suction. Do not block water entry into
filtration 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.
Caution! Do not add chemicals directly to the pool skimmer.
Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and filter and
void warranty.
Small children using the pool or spa must ALWAYS have close
adult supervision.
