3.  The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the filter is operating. Maintain your pressure 

gauge in good working order.

4.  Clean your filter when pressure reads between 8-10 p.s.i. 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 CARTRIDGE ELEMENT AT __________ psi

B.   CLAMP 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 procedures before working on any part of the circulating system (e.g., 

clamp, 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 clamp while there is any pressure in the filter

.

2.  Be certain the O-ring is in position in the lower tank half. Place the filter lid over the lower tank 

half sandwiching the O -ring in between.

3.  Holding the ends of the filter clamp apart, 

position the center segment of the filter 

clamp over both upper and lower tank 

flanges. Bring the   ends of the filter clamp 

together and insert the T-Bolt into the 

trunnion; see Figure 2.

4.  Using Figure 2 as a guide, place washer 

(large I.D.) and tension-indicating spring        

on the barrel nut. Place the second washer 

(small I.D.) on T-Bolt. Hand-tighten nut. 

Recheck filter clamp for proper seating on 

tank flanges.

Figure 2 

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.
