• 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.

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.
Page 5
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.

base lubricant on the o-rings. Do not use pipe joint
compound, glue or solvent on inlet/outlet union
coupling nuts.
7. Keep piping tight and free of leaks. Pump suction
line leaks may cause air to be entrapped in fi lter
tank or loss of prime at the pump. Pump discharge
line leaks may show up as dampness or jets of
water.
8. Support the inlet/outlet pipes independently to
prevent any undue strains on the fi lter valve.
9. Connect the pipes using the unions supplied with
the fi lter. Do not use Tefl on tape or pipe dope on any unions. Assemble the unions dry and hand
tighten. See Figure 6.
10. If desired, the CV fi lter drain can be plumbed
using a Jandy universal union. The plumbing must
contain a ball valve as shown in Figure 6.
CAUTION
Be sure that all provisions for wastewater disposal
meet local, state or national codes. During any
draining process, one hundred gallons (100
gals.) or more of pool water will be discharged.
CL and CV (Cartridge) Filters are not subject to
backwashing. Do not discharge water where it will
cause flooding or damage.
2. Check that the drain plug for CL fi lters or drain
cap for CV fi lters is in place and tight.

Section 4. Start-Up and Operation
NOTE This section applies to both new pool and
seasonal start-up.
1. Turn off the pump. Switch off the circuit breaker
to the pump motor.
WARNING
NEVER start pump while standing
within five (5) feet of the filter. Starting
the pump while there is pressurized air
in the system can cause product failure
or also cause the filter lid to be blown
off, which can cause death, se ri ous
personal injury or property damage.
WARNING
NEVER operate the filter system at
more than 50 psi of pressure. Operating
the filter system in excess of 50 psi
can cause the product failure or also
cause filter lid to be blown off, which can
cause death, serious personal injury or
property damage.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate filter at water temperatures above
105° F (40.6° C). Water temperatures above the
manufacturer's recommendations will shorten the
life span of the filter and void the warranty.
4. Open the pump hair/lint pot lid and fi ll the pump
basket with water to prime the system. Replace the
lid. (You may have to do this several times on new
and seasonal start-ups.)
5. Completely open the air release valve on the
gauge/air release assembly by turning the knob on
the back of the assembly fully counterclockwise
(do not remove the knob).
6. Be sure to open any fi lter isolation valves that
were installed in the system.
7. Stand clear of the fi lter and start the pump to
circulate water through the system. When a steady
stream of water starts to come out of the air release
valve, close the valve.
8. Watch the pressure gauge to be sure that the
pressure does not exceed 50 psi (with clean
cartridges). If the pressure approaches 50 psi,
immediately turn the pump off and clean the
fi lter cartridges (see Section 6.3). If the pressure
remains high after cleaning the fi lter, refer to the
troubleshooting guide in Section 8 for possible
causes and solutions.

9. After the pressure gauge has stabilized, turn the
bezel ring so that the arrow next to the word
"CLEAN" aligns with the needle of the gauge. As
the fi lter cleans the water, and the cartridges begin
to clog the pressure begins to increase. When the
needle of the pressure gauge aligns with the arrow
next to the word "DIRTY" on the bezel, it is time
to clean the fi lter (see Section 6.3). This indicates
an increased pressure of between 10 and 12 psi
above original starting pressure.
Section 5. Filter Disassembly and
Assembly
WARNING
NEVER attempt to assemble,
dis as sem ble or adjust the filter when
there is pressurized air in the system.
Starting the pump while there is any
