WARNING

Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions accompanying this
filter. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe injury, death, or property
damage. Call [phone] for additional free copies of these instructions.

Important Notice

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.

SECTION I. FILTER INSTALLATION

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the filter so that the instructions,
warnings and pressure gauge are visible to the operator. Also, position the filter so that the piping
connections, control valve and drain port are convenient and accessible
for servicing and winterizing.

2. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers control systems,
etc.) at least five (5) feet from the filter. This will allow you enough
room to stand clear of the filter during system start up.

3. Provide sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual verification
that the clamp is properly installed, see Figure 1.

4. Provide sufficient space above the filter to remove the filter lid for
cleaning and servicing. This distance will vary with the model of filter
you are using. See Table 1, for the required vertical clearance.

WARNING

Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. Position the filter and High Flow™ manual air relief valve to safely direct water
drainage and purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an
electrical hazard that can cause severe personal injury as well as damage property.

5. When installing the High Flow™ manual air relief
valve use the O-ring only, there is no need for thread
sealing compounds. Position the filter to safely direct
water drainage. Rotate the valve to safely direct
purged air or water. Water discharged from an
improperly positioned filter or valve can create an
electrical hazard as well as damage property.

6. Make all plumbing connections in accordance with
local plumbing and building codes. Filter plumbing connections are provided with an O-ring seal. Use only
a silicone base lubricant on the O-rings. Do not use pipe joint compound, glue or solvent on the bulkhead
connections.

7. The base of this filter is provided with two (2) mounting bosses for the purpose of anchoring the filter to the
concrete.

8. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 50 psi. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of this
amount, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 50 psi can cause the lid to be
blown off, which can result in severe injury, death or property damage.

When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing
system, ensure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED
THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM.
In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.

If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief
or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.

SECTION II. FILTER OPERATION

THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM
(e.g., LOCK RING, PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC.) IS SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND
BECOME PRESSURIZED. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE THE LID TO BLOW OFF WHICH CAN RESULT
IN SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. BEFORE REPOSITIONING VALVES AND BEFORE BEGINNING THE ASSEMBLY, DISASSEMBLY, OR ADJUSTMENT OF
THE LOCK RING OR ANY OTHER SERVICE OF THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM: (A) TURN THE PUMP OFF AND SHUT
OFF ANY AUTOMATIC CONTROLS TO ASSURE THE SYSTEM IS NOT INADVERTENTLY STARTED DURING THE
SERVICING; (B) OPEN AIR RELIEF VALVE; AND (C) WAIT UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS RELIEVED -PRESSURE GAUGE
MUST READ ZERO (0).

2. WHENEVER INSTALLING THE FILTER LOCK RING, FOLLOW THE FILTER LOCK RING INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

3. ONCE SERVICE ON THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM IS COMPLETE, FOLLOW SYSTEM RESTART INSTRUCTIONS

EXACTLY.

4. MAINTAIN CIRCULATION SYSTEM PROPERLY. REPLACE WORN OR DAMAGED PARTS IMMEDIATELY (e.g., lock
ring, pressure gauge, relief valve, O-rings, etc.)

5. BE SURE THAT THE FILTER IS PROPERLY MOUNTED AND POSITIONED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
PROVIDED.

WARNING

P/N 178556 2 Rev. D 6-26-09

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. This filter operates under pressure. When the lock ring is installed properly and operated without air in
the water system, this filter will operate in a safe manner.

2. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 50 psi. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of
this amount - even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 50 psi can cause the lid
to be blown off, which can result in severe injury, death or property damage.

When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and
plumbing system, ensure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN
THE SYSTEM. In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.

If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure
Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the
system.

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

WARNING

Your filter is a piece of machinery, do not tamper with it, attempt to disassemble it or otherwise adjust it unless you
fully understand it's operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the equipment is improperly handled. Consult a
pool service professional for maintenance and service assistance.

4. Clean your filter when pressure reads between 8-10 psi higher than the original starting pressure. Your
filter pressure reading will increase as it removes dirt from your pool. However, this buildup of pressure
will vary due to different bathing loads, temperature, weather conditions, etc.

a. MY ORIGINAL STARTING PRESSURE IS ___________ psi (pounds per square inch).

I SHOULD CLEAN THE FILTER CARTRIDGES AT __________ psi.

NOTE

When the cartridge element filter is used on new pools and after cleaning the elements, introduce into the system .5 pounds
of diatomaceous earth per every 100 square feet of filter area, (a one-pound coffee can equals .5 pounds of diatomaceous
earth). Mix the diatomite with water and pour it into the skimmer after the pump is primed and the system is operating. This
will enhance the filtration of your water.

B. LOCK RING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY to prevent the lid from blowing off during system restart or
later operation.

1. Perform the following steps before working on any part of the circulating system (e.g., lock ring, pump,
filter, valves, etc.).

a. Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not

inadvertently started during servicing.
b. Open the High Flow™ manual air relief valve.
c. Wait until all pressure is relieved. Never attempt to assemble, disassemble or adjust the

filter lock ring while there is any pressure in the filter.
