Section 1. Safety Information

1.1 Important Safety Warning

WARNING

• Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurized
water producing pressures greater than 35 PSI.

• Pressurized air in system can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter lid to be blown off which
can result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is out of system
before operating or testing the equipment.

WARNING

MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE OF THE FILTER IS 50 PSI. NEVER SUBJECT THE FILTER
TO ANY OPERATING PRESSURE EXCEEDING 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 product failure or also cause the filter lid to be blown off which
can result in death, serious personal injury or property damage. To avoid this po ten tial haz ard, fol low
all of the in struc tions in this man u al.

WARNING

To minimize risk of severe injury or death the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping
system pressurization test.

Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These
requirements are generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment such as filters or pumps.

Jandy pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.

If however this WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include
the filter and/or pump BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings and system accessories to ensure they are properly

installed and secured before testing.

• RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing.

• Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI.

• Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 100°F (38°C).

• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.

Notice: These parameters apply to Jandy equipment only. For non-Jandy equipment, consult equipment manufacturer.

1.2 General Safety Instructions

Section 2. General Information

2.1 Introduction

This manual contains information for the proper instal­lation and operation of the Jandy CL and CV Series
Cartridge Filters. Procedures in this manual must be
followed exactly. For technical assistance, contact our
Technical Support Department at 1.800.822.7933.

2.2 Description

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

Dirty water fl ows into the fi lter tank through the water
line connected to the lower bulkhead (inlet) on the
bottom half of the tank body. It is directed through the
fi lter cartridge inside of the fi lter. The debris is collected
in the fi lter and the clean water fl ows out of the fi lter
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 fi lter, the pressure will rise
and water fl ow to the pool will diminish. The fi lter will
eventually become so plugged with debris that it will be
necessary to remove the fi lter cartridges and clean them

with soap and water.

NOTE A fi lter removes dirt and other suspended particles

but does not sanitize the pool. Pool water must be
sanitized and chemically balanced for clear water.
The fi ltration 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.

WARNING

The maximum operating pressure for this filter is 50
psi. Never subject the filter to operating pressure
exceeding 50 psi. Operating pressures above 50 psi
can cause product failure or also cause the lid to be
blown off, which can result in death, serious personal
injury, or property dam age.

6. When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or
when testing for external leaks of the completed
fi ltration and plumbing system, ensure that
the maximum pressure the fi ltration system is
subjected to does not exceed the maximum

working pressure of any of the components
within the system.

2.3 General Requirements

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

2. The fi lter 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 fi lter from the weather.

4. If fi tting a chlorinator and/or any other device into
the fi ltration 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. Barrel unions are

provided with all Jandy fi lters.

Section 3. Installation Instructions

WARNING

Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation.
Do not connect system to an unregulated city water
system or other external source of pressurized
water producing pressures greater than 35 psi.

3.1 Filter Location

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

2. Provide solid mounting for the fi lter 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 fi lter as the sand will wash
away. Filter systems can weigh up to 800 lbs.

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

4. Allow suffi cient clearance around the fi lter to
permit a visual inspection of the clamp ring
(see Fig. 2).

5. Allow suffi cient space above the fi lter to remove
the fi lter lid and fi lter element for cleaning and
servicing.

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

8. If the fi lter 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
fl ow of pool water during any routine servicing
that may be required.

3.2 Anchor Bracket Installation

In some areas, for example Florida, building codes
require that all appliances be securely fastened to the
equipment pad in order to withstand high wind pressures
created by hurricanes. Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc.
provides an anchor bracket kit for this purpose. Please
see the Parts List in Section 9 of this manual for the
correct part number. Follow the Anchor Bracket Installa­tion Kit Instructions to attach the brackets to the fi lter.

NOTE Anchor screws and washers for securing the

anchor bracket to the equipment pad are not
included with the fi lter or the anchor bracket
kit. Zodiac recommends that a ¼" x 2¼" long
stainless steel Tapcon
stainless steel fl at washer are used to mount
each anchor bracket to the equipment pad. The
Tapcon concrete screw meets Florida building
code requirements.

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

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 work ing
order. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator
of how the filter is operating.

concrete drill bit should be obtained when the concrete
screws are purchased.)

Install the Tapcon screws and washers through each of
the four (4) anchor brackets to secure the fi lter to the
equipment pad. See Figure 3. Do not over-torque the

screws.

3.3 Filter Preparation

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

2. Carefully remove the accessory package.

3. A visual inspection of all parts should be made
now. See parts list in Section 9.

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