Installation & Operation Manual
SECTION 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
X
MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE OF THE FILTER IS 35 PSI. NEVER SUBJECT THE
FILTER TO ANY OPERATING PRESSURE EXCEEDING 35 PSI
• Do not connect the system to an unregulated city water system or other
external source of pressurized water producing pressures greater than 35 PSI.
•
This fi lter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating
system, i.e., fi lter, pump, valve(s), etc. is serviced, air can enter the system and
become pressurized when the system is restarted.
• Pressurized air in a system can cause product failure or also cause the dial
valve to be blown off which can result in death, serious personal injury or property damage.
•
To minimize risk of severe injury or death, the fi lter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping
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 fi lters 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 fi lter and/
or pump
BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
.
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, locking devices 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 100º F (38º C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
NOTICE:
These parameters apply only to Jandy equipment. For non-Jandy equipment, consult the equipment
manufacturer.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, which can result in serious injury or death:
• Ensure that all electrical to the system is turned off before approaching, inspecting or troubleshooting
any leaking valves or plumbing that may have caused other electrical devices in the surrounding area
to get wet.
•
Water discharged from an improperly positioned fi lter or valve can create an electrical hazard which
can cause death, serious injury or property damage.
•
Improper dial valve installation can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter dial to be blown off,
which can result in death, serious personal injury or property damage.
• Never attempt to adjust or remove the dial valve when the pump is running or there is pressure in the
system. this can cause product failure or also cause the fi lter dial to be blown off, which can result in
death, serious personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
• Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of
how the fi lter is operating.
• Creating high vacuum levels can cause the tank vessel to crack and leak with the potential for
property damage.
• Be sure that all provisions for waste water disposal meet local, provincial or national codes. During
any backwash or draining process, 100 gallons or more of water will be discharged. Do not discharge
water where it will cause fl ooding or damage.
•
To avoid damaging the laterals (spokes), slowly add the fi lter media until the laterals are fully covered.
Consult Installation and Operation Manual for complete sand fi lling instructions Cracked or broken
laterals (spokes) will cause sand to be discharged to the pool.
Attention installer:
