INSTALLATION

FILTER INSTALLATION

1. Place ﬁ lter on solid Horizontal surface. (Concrete slab recommend.) NOTE: Allow sufﬁ cient height clearance for cartridge removal! PCF60 = 330mm PCF75 = 450mm PCF100 = 650mm PCF150 = 450mm PCF180 = 450mm

2. Fit interconnecting plumbing between pump and ﬁ lter. Pump discharge should be plumbed up to the outlet marked ‘IN’ Outlet marked ‘OUT’ should return to Pool or Spa

3. Fit manual air bleed and pressure gauge to top of ﬁ lter.

4. Fix ﬁ lter base to foundation surface via holes on ring on base.

5. Blank off unused inlet and outlet connections using blanks provided

NOTE:

1. Ensure the ﬁ lter clamp band is correctly ﬁ tted and ﬁ rmly in place. Failure to ﬁ t clamp correctly may result in ﬁ lter lid lifting off in a violent movement.

Operation

1. Ensure pool is ﬁ lled with water - water level must be ¾ of the way up to skimmer opening.

2. Open manual air bleed at ﬁ lter, air will be expelled from the ﬁ lter as it ﬁ lls with water from the pool. Close manual air bleed when water is released.

3. Switch on Pump - ensure water ﬂ ows freely through system and back to pool.

4. Record the startup pressure - when a 70 kPa rise from start up pressure is detected clean the cartridge.

5. To clean the cartridge refer service and maintenence

6. If the time period between ﬁ lter cartridge "cleans" becomes progressively shorter it maybe necessary to "soak" or clean the cartridge with a propriety cleaner.

7. If the cartridge element is mechanically damaged then correct ﬁ ltration conditions cannot be maintained - the cartridge element must be replaced. Periodic replacement approximately every 24 months is recommended.

8. For Spa Pools, with hot water and higher bather loads, clean cartridge on regular basis - minimum fortnightly.

Cartridge Maintenance

To Clean the cartridge.

A) Switch off the pump and isolate from mains power.

C) Release the air relief valve to relieve any built up pressure in the ﬁ lter housing

D) Remove ﬁ lter clamp ring - take care to note how to reassemble the clamp ring correctly

E) Lift cartridge element out of housing and hose clean with a strong jet from a garden hose.

- If the time period between ﬁ lter cartridge ‘cleans’ becomes progressively shorter it maybe necessary to ‘soak’ the cartridge with a propriety cleaner.

F) Replace cartridge Element and reﬁ t lid and ﬁ lter clamp ring.

G) Open any previously closed valves and follow start up ﬁ lter procedure.
