Basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Failure to follow instructions
can cause severe injury and/or death.
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.
WARNING warns about hazards that could cause serious personal injury, death 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.

WARNING– Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes,
regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property
damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly
located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To reduce
the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING– Risk of Electric ShockFailure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock
hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for
electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a
professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local
electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal
piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.

WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be
restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment
without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this
electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative
before using.
CAUTION – HAYWARD
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being
readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

pumps are intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be used with hot tubs and
WARNING – Risk of Hyperthermia. To avoid hyperthermia the following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” are recommended by
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F [40°C]. A temperature of 100°F [38°C] is
considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Prolonged immersion in
hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness, which
could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100°F [38°C] can cause fetal damage during the
first three months of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child). Pregnant women
should adhere to the 100°F [38°C] maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
6. If the pool/spa is used for therapy, it should be done with the advice of a physician. Always stir pool/ spa
water before entering the pool/spa to mix in any hot surface layer of water that might exceed healthful
temperature limits and cause injury. Do not tamper with controls, because scalding can result if safety controls
are not in proper working order.
7. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physicians advice before using spas or hot tubs.
8. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above
normal body temperature of 98.6°F [37°C]. The symptoms of Hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy,
dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of Hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending danger.
2. Failure to perceive heat.
3. Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
4. Physical inability to exit the spa.
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Your Hayward ProGridTM Vertical Grid D.E. Filter combines superior water filtration with ease of operation and totally corrosionfree construction. It uses diatomaceous earth (D.E.), which is the most efficient dirt remover and filter medium known.
The D.E., which is usually fed through the skimmer at initial start-up, uniformly coats the curved vertical filter elements that are
covered with a custom fitted monofilament polypropylene filter cloth. As pool water is pumped through the control valve into
the bottom of the filter tank, the D.E. surface, or coating, filters out even the minutest particles resulting in clear, clean, sparkling
water.
After a period of time, the accumulated dirt in the filter causes a resistance to flow, the pressure rises, and flow diminishes. This
means the dirt holding capacity of the D.E. has been reached, and it is time to clean (backwash) your filter. With the control
valve in the back wash position, the water is automatically reversed through the filter, flushing trapped dirt, debris and D.E. out
the waste line. Once the filter is backwashed (cleaned) of D.E. and dirt, the control valve is manually re-sequenced to filter
position and a fresh charge of D.E. is added to resume normal filtering.
Only simple tools (screwdriver and wrenches), plus pipe sealant for
plastic adapters, are required to install and/or service the filter.
1. The filter system should be installed on a
other rigid base. Select a well drained and vented area, one that does
not flood when it rains. Position the filter so that the piping
connections, and winter drain are convenient and accessible for
operation, service, maintenance and winterizing.
2. Position filter so the filter will drain by gravity.
3. If practical, place pump and filter in the shade to shield it from
continuous, direct heat from the sun.
4. Assemble appropriate Filter Control valve (See Page 10 for
selection) to filter. Lubricate the O-ring first (we recommend using
Jack’s 327 Lubricant). Align the two (2) valve pipe connections, with
O-rings in place, with the two openings in the side of the filter tank
and press in firmly. Secure the assembly to the tank connections with
the two bulkhead lock nuts. Do not over-tighten.
5. Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer, pool
outlet and the pump.
6. Install the pool return plumbing.
7. If pressure gauge is not installed, apply Teflon tape to the gauge
threads and carefully screw the gauge into the gauge adapter
assembly.
8. Do not locate pump controls over or near filter.
9. Verify water discharge from the filter manual air relief valve is
directed away from electrical devices
