SWIMPURE™
NATURAL POOL PURIFYING SYSTEM
Your Hayward SwimPure™ Natural Pool Purifying System has established a new horizon in swimming pool water purification. The system is designed to fit into all Hayward high-performance cartridge filters and can be installed simply by placing your SwimPure™ unit into the cartridge filter element. It will release minerals into the water to make your pool water clean and healthy.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The SwimPure™ Natural Pool Purifying System featuring Nature 2 ® can be used with every type of chemical treatment available except bromine and bromide based chemicals1, biguanide products2 (e.g. Baquacil* or Softswim**), and copper based algaecides3.
1.Bromine/Bromide will reduce the effectiveness of the purifying system.
2.Metals (e.g. silver) combine with biguanides to form cloudy water.
3.Copper based algaecides may cause staining of pool walls.

Caution: Please make sure that for all above ground models (N2C400, N2C550, N2C850 and N2C1250), the swimming pool size should be 5,000 gallons up to 25,000 gallons. For all inground models (N2C900, N2C1200, N2C1750, N2C2000, N2C3000, N2C4000, N2C5000), the pool size should be 10,000 gallons up to 35,000 gallons. Using a SwimPure system for an undersized pool may cause staining of the pool.

|
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
b. If filter is located below water level, close valves (or block off |
||||||||
|
|
suction and discharge lines) to prevent backflow of water from |
|||||||
|
|
pool. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c. Unscrew and remove drain plug and allow water to drain from |
||||||||
|
|
filter. Close drain plug. |
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Note: To assist draining process, open vent valve a few turns). |
|||||||
|
d. Remove the filter head: |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
|
On models with locking knob: Unscrew locking knob. |
|||||||
|
|
On models with Easy-Lok™ lid: Depress safety-latch and |
|||||||
|
|
unscrew Easy-Lok lid. |
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On models with clamp assembly: Remove clamp |
|||||||
|
|
assembly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Refer to Owner’s Guide provided with your filter for |
|||||||
|
|
specific instructions on disassembly. |

|
|
remove |
top |
closure |
plate |
before |
removing |
cartridge elements).
f.Clean cartridge element(s). (Note: Refer to Owner’s Guide for your filter).
g.Clean debris from bottom of filter tank.
h.Install cartridge element(s):
For Models N2C900, N2C1200, and N2C1750:
These models are packaged with an air tube support. Install this air tube support before installing the filter element. Your filter will already have one air tube support installed. Follow these instructions to install this second air tube support:
1)Place the new air tube support over the air relief tube and tie rod until it is close to the one that is currently in the filter.
2)Slide the lower air tube support down the tie rod and air relief tube until it is approximately one inch above the opening for the cartridge element or until the air tube no longer interferes with the system.
For Models N2C400, N2C550, N2C850, N2C1250, N2C2000, N2C3000, N2C4000 and N2C5000: Follow the instructions provided by your filter Owner’s Guide to re-install the cartridge element back into the filter.
i.Install the purifying system:
Lower the system into the center of the cartridge element with the side showing Hayward face-up. However, if your filter is a multi-cartridge element filter, place the system into the center of any cartridge element with the side showing Hayward face-down.
Note: Filters that use multiple elements only require one system. The system can be placed inside any one of the four cartridge elements.
j.Reassemble the filter head:
On models with locking knob: Replace head and locking knob. Tighten locking knob in clockwise direction. (Hand tight only)
On models with Easy-Lok lid: Place Easy-Lok lid on filter body and turn clockwise until it engages and is secured by the safety latch.
On models with clamp assembly: Replace head and clamp assembly.
Note: Refer to Owner’s Guide provided with your filter for specific instructions.
3.Record installation date. Important: Record the installation date of your SwimPure system on the label provided along with your system package. Make sure the label is placed on the body of your filter. Replace the SwimPure unit after six months.
4.Super-oxidize or “shock” the pool. On the first day, superoxidize the water with 1 lb. dry, or 1 gallon of liquid chlorine, per 10,000 gallons of water to burn off contaminants and to activate the purifying system.
5.Activate the system.
a.Run the pump and filter system 24 hours per day for 4 days
— OR:
b.Run the pump and filter system 6 hours per day for 14 days.
Note: Maintain 1-2 ppm residual chlorine level, throughout the 4 day or 14 day activation period.
