SECTION 1. Safety Information

1.1 Important Safety Warning

WARNING - NEVER OPERATE OR TEST THE FILTER SYSTEM AT MORE THAN 50 PSI

THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE
CIRCULATING SYSTEM, i.e., FILTER, PUMP, VALVE(S), CLAMP, ETC. IS SERVICED, AIR
CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM IS
RESTARTED. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE THE FILTER LID TO BE BLOWN OFF
WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW ALL OF THE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

1.2 General Safety Instructions

ATTENTION INSTALLER:

This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe
use of this product. This information should be given to the owner/operator of this
equipment.

1. Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the clamp,
or any other service of the circulating system; (A) turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to
ensure the system is not inadvertently started during servicing; (B) open the air release valve; (C) wait until all
pressure is relieved (air will have stopped flowing from the
air release valve).

2. Whenever installing the filter clamp follow Section 3.4 of this manual, "Clamp Installation".

3. Once service on the circulation system is complete, follow Section 4 of this manual, "Start-up and
Operation".

4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to these installation instructions.

6. Do not pressure test above 50 PSI. Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool professional.

7. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

SECTION 2. General Information

2.1 Introduction

This manual contains information for the proper
installation and operation of the Jandy® CL Series
Cartridge Filters. Procedures in this manual must be
followed exactly. To obtain additional copies of this
manual contact us at 707.776.8200 ext. 237. For
address information see back cover.

2.2 Description

Cartridge filters do not require sand or diatomaceous
earth as the filter medium. Instead, the filter contains
filter elements which are easily removed for cleaning or
replacement.

Dirty water flows into the filter tank through the water
line connected to the lower bulkhead (inlet) on the
bottom half of the tank body. It is directed through the
filter cartridge inside of the filter. The debris is collected
in the filter and the clean water flows out of the filter
through the upper bulkhead (outlet) on the bottom half
of the tank body. Clean water is returned through the
piping system to the pool.

As debris collects in the filter, the pressure will rise and
water flow to the pool will diminish. The filter will
eventually become so plugged with debris that it will
be necessary to remove the filter cartridges and clean
them with soap and water.

6. The maximum working pressure for this filter is 50
psi. Never subject the filter to pressure exceeding 50
psi, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests.
Pressures above 50 psi can cause the lid to be blown
off.

When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when
testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and
plumbing system, ensure that the maximum pressure
the filtration system is subjected to does not exceed
the maximum working pressure of any of the
components within the system.

Note that a filter removes dirt and other suspended
particles but does not sanitize the pool. Pool water
must be sanitized and chemically balanced for clear
water. The filtration system should be designed to meet
local health codes. At a minimum, the system should
turnover the total volume of water in your pool two to
four times in a 24 hour period.

2.3 General Requirements

1. For best overall performance place the system as
close to the pool as possible.

2. The filter should be located on a level concrete slab
so that the orientation of the valve outlets and the
pressure gauge are convenient and accessible for the
installation and operation of the unit.

3. Protect the filter from the weather.

4. If fitting a chlorinator and/or any other device into
the filtration plumbing circuit, great care must be
exercised to ensure that the appliance is installed in
accordance with the Manufacturer’s Instructions and
any standards that may exist.

5. We recommend the use of barrel unions to connect
each component of the water conditioning system to
ease in future servicing. Barell unions are provided with
all Jandy filters.

SECTION 3. Installation Instructions

3.1 Filter Location

1. Select a well-drained area, one that does not flood
when it rains. Damp, non-ventilated areas should be
avoided.

2. Provide solid mounting for the filter and pump
system. Install system on a concrete slab or solid
concrete blocks to avoid risk of settlement. Do not use
sand to level the filter as the sand will wash away. Filter
systems can weigh up to 800 lbs.

3. Install electrical controls at least five (5) feet from the
filter. This will allow enough room to stand away from
the filter during start-up.

4. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit
a visual inspection of the clamp ring (see Fig. 3).

5. Allow sufficient space above the filter to remove the
filter lid and filter element for cleaning and servicing.

6. Position the filter to safely direct water drainage.
Align the air release valve to safely direct purged air or
water.

7. If the filter needs to be located above the water level
of the pool, it can be raised 2.5 ft. without affecting the
pump efficiency. A check valve is recommended on the
suction line to the pump

WARNING

Water discharged from an improperly
positioned filter or valve can create an electrical
hazard which can cause death, serious injury or
property damage.

CAUTION

Maintain your pressure gauge in good working
order. The pressure gauge is the primary
indicator of how the filter is operating.

8. If the filter is to be installed below the water level of
the pool, isolation valves should be installed on both
the suction and return lines to prevent back flow of
pool water during any routine servicing that may be
required.

3.2 Filter Preparation

1. Check carton for damage due to rough handling in
shipment. If carton or any filter components are
damaged, notify carrier immediately.

2. Carefully remove the accessory package and the
filter tank from the carton.

3. A visual inspection of all parts should be made
now. See parts list on page 12 and 13.

4. With the carton in an upright position, remove the
filter tank from the carton.

5. To mount the pressure gauge/air release assembly to
the top of the filter tank (located in the accessory bag):

a. Place the smaller, thicker o-ring onto the threads of
the tank adapter. Slide the tank adapter through the
coupling nut and into the filter tank. Use the flats on
the tank adapter to tighten. Do not overtighten.

b. Place the larger, thinner o-ring onto the gauge
housing. Thread the housing into the coupler on the
tank adapter.

c. Orient the gauge/air release assembly in the desired
position. Raise and thread the locknut onto the
bottom of the gauge/air release assembly. Hand
tighten the nut only. Using a wrench to tighten the
nut may damage the nut, gauge or air release
assembly.
