storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION.
The following information should be read carefully as it outlines the proper manner of care and operation of your filter
system. You can expect maximum efficiency and product life from you filtration system by following these instructions and
taking the necessary preventative maintenance.
*.Have a trained pool professional perform all pressure testing
* Do not connect the system to a high pressure or city water systems.
* Trapped air in the system can create a hazardous condition. MAKE SURE to purge all air from the system before operating
or testing of the equipment.
* DO NOT PRESSURE TEST WITH COMPRESSED AIR
* Check local codes for restrictions on backwash to waste piping, separation tank requirements.
* Piping must conform to local/state plumbing and sanitary codes
* Support piping independently to prevent strains on the filter or valve
* Fittings restrict flow, for best efficiency, use the fewest possible fittings
* A check valve installed between the filter inlet will prevent contaminants from draining back into the Pool.
* A check valve installed between the filter and heater will prevent hot water from backing up into the filter and deforming
the internal components.
* All wiring, grounding and bonding of associated equipment must meet local and/or National Electrical Code (NEC)
standards
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The VIRON QL Cartridge filter features 4 easily accessible and removable filter cartridges. When water passes through these
cartridges, microscopic impurities like dirt, algae and some forms of bacteria are filtered out, giving you water that really
sparkles.
The 4 cartridges design greatly increases the filter’s internal surface area, meaning a much greater cleaning capacity for every
cycle without the need for a larger filter. After turning off and isolating the filter pump, cleaning is achieved by removing the
clamp band, lifing off the filter lid, removing the four filter elements and hosing off dirt and debris with a high pressure hose.
INSTALLATION
Only a trained service person should install the VIRON QL Cartridge filter
.
WARNING
– Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
Position the filter and allowing for the air/water bleed valve located in the lid to safely direct water drainage and purged air or
water. Water discharged from an improperly position filter can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal injury
as well as damage property.
WARNING
– THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE
Never subject the filter to pressure in excess of the maximum working pressure, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure
testing. Pressures above the maximum working PSI/Kpa pressures can cause the lid to be blown off and result in severe injury,
death or property damage
1.
The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the filter so that the instructions, warning and pressure
gauge are visible to the operator. It should also be positioned so that the piping connections, control valve and drain
port are convenient and accessible for servicing and winterizing.
2.
Install electrical controls (timers, Chlorinators, power points) at least 6 feet from the filter. This will allow you enough
room to stand clear of the filter during start up.
3.
Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to allow visual inspection of the clamp is correctly installed around the tank
flanges. Using a soft mallet tap the clamp to ensure uniform loading during the clamp tightening.
4.
Allow enough space above the filter to remove the filter lid for cleaning and servicing. This distance should be a
minimum of 2 feet
5.
The VIRON QL Cartridge filter has 1 inlet, 2 outlets and a drain port. Either inlet can be used (top outlet height for
other brands heaters, bottom outlet to suit HiNRG heaters. Whichever port you use the other will have to be plugged
with plug cap supplied with filter
6.
Make all plumbing connections in accordance with local plumbing and building codes. Check local codes for restrictions
on backwash to waste piping, separation tank requirements. Allow minimum of 1 hour for glue to dry on pipe fittings
before pressuring up the system.
7.
Filter plumbing connections are provided with an o-ring seal. To avoid damage to the o-rings, use only a silicone base
lubricant on the o-rings. Do not use a petroleum based lubricate as it will degrade the o-rings.
