This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your equipment or in this manual, look for one of the following signal
words and be alert to the potential for personal injury or death.
WARNING Warns about hazards that could cause serious personal injury or, death, and or major property damage and if
ignored presents a potential hazard.
CAUTION Warns about hazards that will or can cause minor or moderate personal injury and/or property damage and if
ignored presents a potential hazard. It can also make consumers aware of actions that are unpredictable and unsafe.
The NOTICE label indicates special instructions that are important but not related to hazards.
READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY AND OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely supervise children at
all times. The ANSI/NSPI-4 Standard (above-ground and on-ground pools) advises that components such as the filtration system,
pumps, and heaters be positioned to prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.
WARNING COMPONENT SEPARATION HAZARD
Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start up, normal operation, and possibly after
pump shut off. Pressure in system can cause explosive component separation of the upper filter body if safety and operation
instructions are not followed. Severe personal injury or death can result.
This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional.
TO AVOID COMPONENT SEPARATION
Follow all safety and operation instructions.
Do not operate water circulation system if a system component is assembled improperly, damaged, missing, or not a genuine Hayward
component.
Before performing maintenance on the water circulation system, verify all system and pump controls are in OFF position and filter
manual air relief valve is in the OPEN position.
Before starting the system pump, verify that system valves are set in a position to allow water from the filter to return back to the pool.
Before starting the system pump, the manual air relief valve must be in the OPEN position.
When starting pump, do not stand over or near filter.
Return to filter to close manual air relief valve only when a steady stream of water (Not air or air and water mix) is discharged from
the manual air relief valve.
WARNING EXCESS PRESSURE HAZARD
Pressure testing of the pump and filter system in excess of the 50 PSI can cause explosive separation of the
components. Component separation can result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
High Voltage electricity is present in the pool and spa equipment. High voltage electricity can cause shock and electrocution.
Shock and electrocution can result in severe personal injury or death.
All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations and the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Before performing any service or maintenance on electrical equipment turn off all electrical power.
Contact a licensed electrician or building inspector for information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Verify water discharge from the filter manual air relief valve is directed away from electrical devices.
Do not locate pump controls over or near filter.
WARNING SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD.
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers that are, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured
can cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment- Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment- A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.
Evisceration/ Disembowelment Entrapment- A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction
outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/ disembowelment
entrapment.
Mechanical Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction
outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS:
A minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be
installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [1 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
Dual suction outlets shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
Dual suction outlets shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
The pool or spa circulation system shall be designed to comply with ANSI/APSP-7 2006.
Suction outlet covers shall conform to ANSI/ASME A112.19.8
Never use Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component (cover/grate) is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
Immediately replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components.
The CPSP as well as the ICC International Residential Code Part IX, Appendix G, Section AG106 specifies the installation of a safety
vacuum release system conforming to ASME A112.19.17, or an approved gravity drain system.
Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the suction outlets can result in an increased
potential for suction entrapment.
Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other material can result in an increased
potential for suction entrapment.
Suction outlet covers and grates have a finite life. They should be inspected frequently and replaced within specified life.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Hayward Star-Clear Plus filter is a high performance swimming pool filter with a residential filtration rating of 4,500 gallons (17
kl) per hour (C751), 5,400 gallons (20.5 kl) per hour (C900), or 7,200 gallons (27.3 kl) per hour (C1200, C1502, C1750, and C2002).
Manufactured from durable, corrosion-proof materials, they are designed for continuous or intermittent operation, for installation
above or below the pool water line, for fresh or saltwater swimming pools or spas. Star-Clear Plus filters utilize a reusable single
element, reinforced polyester filter cartridge to provide a high degree of water clarity with absolute minimum care. Their unique
design is such that no tools are needed to remove or replace the cartridge in the filter assembly. Simply spin off the locking knob, lift
off the filter cover and remove the cartridge. It's that easy.
PUMP SELECTION AND LOCATION
To power your Star-Clear Plus filter, select a continuous duty pump designed for swimming pool or spa service.
It is important to first determine where your pump and filter will be located. If above the water line, a self-priming pump must be used.
Self-priming pumps such as Hayward's Super Pump®, Super II, or TriStar have the ability to lift water from a lower level
and prime automatically.
Select a pump appropriate for your application. Taking into consideration, operation of hydrotherapy fittings, automatic
cleaners, required turn over rates and losses in the system. A dealer can help you select the proper size pump for your system.
FILTER LOCATION
1. Since plumbing fittings offer a resistance to water flow, position the filter as close to the swimming pool as local codes allow. Keep
the number of fittings to a minimum. Select a well drained area, one that will not flood when it rains.
2. Set the filter on a solid level surface. Allow a minimum top clearance for cartridge removal of 19" (483mm) for the C751 and C900,
25" (635mm) for the C1200, C1502 and allow 30" (762mm) for the C1750 and C2002. Be sure filter, pump, drain & pressure
gauge are accessible for convenient operation.
3. Position the filter so the tank can drain by gravity.
4. If practical, place pump and filter in the shade to shield it from continuous, direct heat from the sun.
