Failure to follow the instructions in this manual may result in serious adverse health effects or even serious 
or fatal injury. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual will in all cases invalidate all guarantees and

Consumer Information and Safety 

These Cartridge Filters are designed and manufactured to provide years of safe and reliable operation. 

They must be installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the information in this manual along 
with any relevant local installation codes.  

 

THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE

 

When any part of the pool filtration system, is serviced, air 
can enter the system and become pressurised. Pressurised 
air can cause the Cartridge Filter top assembly to separate, 
Resulting  in severe injury, death, or property damage.  

To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions: 

1.  If you are not familiar with your pool filtration system: 

a.  Do  NOT  attempt  to  adjust  or  service  without  consulting  your  dealer,  or  a  qualified  pool 

technician. 

b.  Read the entire Installation & Operation Manual before attempting to use, service, or adjust 

the pool filtration system. 

2.  Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or any other service 

of the filtration system: 

a.  Switch off all pumps and electrical power in pool equipment to ensure the system is NOT 

inadvertently started during the servicing. 

b.  Loosen air relief valve on top of the filter by approximately one and a half turns. 
c.  Wait until all pressure is relieved. 

3.  Whenever  installing  or  reassembling  the  filter  assembly,  always  follow  the  instructions  and  

warnings outlined in this manual exactly. 

4.  Once service of the filtration system is complete follow initial start-up instructions exactly. 
5.  Ensure  that  your  filtration  system  is  maintained  properly.  Replace  any  worn  or  damaged  parts 

immediately. 

6.  Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according with the instructions provided. 

 

This filter must be installed by a licensed or certified service person 
in accordance with any relevant local installation codes.  
Improper  installation could  result  in  death  or  serious  injury to  pool 

users, installers, or others and may also cause damage to property. 
 
Always switch off all pumps and electrical power in pool equipment area before servicing the filter. Ensure 
that the disconnected circuit is locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be switched on while you 
are working on the filter. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death to a serviceman, pool user, 
or others due to electric shock.
