CAUTION
Maintain your pressure gauge in good work ing order.
The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how
the
fi
lter is operating.
WARNING
Water discharged from an improperly positioned
fi
lter
or valve can create an electrical hazard which can
cause death, serious injury or property damage.

Installation Instructions
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. Filters, once loaded with media, 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.
6. Position the fi lter to safely direct water drainage.
Align the air release valve to safely direct
pressurized purged air or water.
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.

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. With the carton in an upright position, remove the
fi lter tank from the carton.
4. A visual inspection of all parts should be made
now. See parts list on page 14.
CAUTION
DO NOT move the
fi
lter tank without the shipping
screw in place or the
fi
lter grids may be damaged
while installing the
fi
lter tank.
3.3 Filter
Installation
1. This fi lter operates under pressure. When clamped
properly and operated without air in the water
system, this fi lter will operate in a safe manner.
2. If doubt exists as to the pressure which the system
will be subjected to, install an ASME approved
automatic Pressure Relief Valve or Pressure
Regulator in the circulation system set to the
lowest working pressure of any of the components
in the system.
3. Place the fi lter on the concrete pad, lined up with
the inlet/outlet pipes (see Fig. 3).
Remove the
shipping screw.
4. To mount the pressure gauge/air release assembly
to the top of the fi lter tank (located in the
accessory bag):
a.
Place the smaller, thicker o-ring onto the
threads of the tank adapter (see Fig. 4). Slide
the tank adapter through the coupling nut and
into the fi lter tank. Use the fl ats on the tank
adapter to tighten. Do not overtighten.
b.
Place the larger, thinner o-ring onto the
gauge housing. Thread the housing into the
coupler on the tank adapter.
