Pantera High-Rate Sand Filter Owner’s Manual

2

This filter is designed for use in domestic/residential swimming pool installations with 
correctly sanitised fresh or salt chlorinated water. Suitable for use with sand or Zelbrite 
filter media.

1.  

Locate the filter system as close to the pool as practical.

2.   Place the filter on a level stable foundation, preferably a concrete pad or paving.

3.   Position all equipment to provide ease of access for future    

 

servicing.

4.   Protect the filter and pump from weather and direct sunlight by  

 

ensuring that they are properly housed.

5.   Ensure there is sufficient space to provide adequate ventilation to    

electric pump motor.

6.   Clean a new pool as well as possible before filling pool and    

 

operating filter. Excess dirt and large particles of foreign matter in the system can 
cause serious damage to the filter and pump.

7.   Ensure pump is compatible with filter specifications.
