HAYWARD C4001540LSH User Manual

SYSTEM LOCATION

Though the system is designed for outdoor use, it is advisable to protect electrical components from the weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood when it rains.

For best pump performance, position the system below the swimming pool water line. If the system must be located above the pool water line, it can be raised as high as 2 feet (610 mm) above the water without affecting the pump’s efficiency.

NOTE: NSPI-4 Article V, standard for above-ground and

on-ground pools, advises that components such as the filtration system, pumps and heater be positioned so as to prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.

Set the mounting platform level. Keep the cover lock, filter bump handle, drain outlet and pressure gauge accessible for convenient operation.

Position the system so the filter tank can be drained by gravity.

PLUMBING INSTALLATION

Use 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” I.D. flexible plastic pipe, or hose, joined with insert fittings and stainless steel clamps.

All plumbing connections on the system are 1-1/2” N.P.T. When making connections, use plastic male-end adapters. Apply three turns of Teflon tape or plastic pipe sealant to the male threads. Screw the fitting into the threads hand tight; then, using a wrench, tighten one more full turn. Additional tightening is unnecessary and could result in damaged components.

Refer to the diagrams for suggested valving. Ball-type valves are recommened where needed.

OWNER’S GUIDE

Tighten pump base mounting bolts, if loose. Securely hand tighten the union nut between the

filter and pump. Connect the pool suction plumbing between the

skimmer, pool outlet and the pump. Connect the pool return (inlet) plumbing. If pressure gauge is not installed, apply Teflon tape

to the gauge threads, and carefully screw the gauge into the threaded hole in the filter cover.

A drain plug is furnished with each filter and is all that is needed for complete filter draining. A manual air vent valve is furnished to aid in bleeding off unwanted air when starting the filter.

All electrical connections should be made in accordance with local codes.

Check for joint leaks before operating the system. Refer to pump instruction booklet for pump

information.
