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.

• Use ONLY Hayward clamp system components: DEX2421JKIT clamp assembly, DEX2421J2 nut/bolt

assembly, and a DEX2422Z2 metal reinforced seal.
Non-Hayward components may fail in use and cause explosive separation.

• Never rely on hand tightening the clamp nut to the clamp bolt. Using a ¾” socket on a torque wrench,

torque clamp nut and clamp bolt to 150 inch-lbs.

• Before starting system pump, insure filter manual air relief valve body is in LOCK position in filter

upper body.

• Before starting the system pump, verify that all 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.

• If water leakage appears in the area of the filter tank clamp, immediately turn off all system circulation

pumps and electrical power. Do not return to the filter until all water flow has stopped. Reassemble
the clamp system per the instructions in this owner’s manual to stop the leak.

• 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.

• Do not change filter control valve position while system pump is running.

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.

USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

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

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.

International Residential Code

Part IX, Appendix G, Section AG106

Suction outlet covers and grates have a finite life. They should be inspected frequently and

replaced within specified life.

6. Connect the pump discharge (pump OUTLET) to the top port of the filter (filter INLET).

7. Connect the bottom filter port (filter OUTLET) to the pool return plumbing lines.

8. Do not locate pump controls over or near filter.

9. Verify water discharge from the manual air relief valve(MAR) is directed away from electrical devices.

This product should be installed and

serviced only by a qualified pool
professional.

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 body such that all

operation and safety labels are
visible.

3. Position filter so the filter will drain

by gravity.

4. If practical, place pump and filter in

the shade to shield it from
continuous, direct heat from the
sun.

5. Connect the pool suction plumbing

between the skimmer, pool suction
outlet (from the pool) and the
pump.
