Pump and DE Element Filter System Installation and User’s Guide
High Pressure:
Improper tank lid and lock
ring assembly could cause
the lid to separate and cause
serious injury and/or major
property damage.
If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected,
install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure
Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any
of the components in the system.
14. Use sealant on all tapered male connections of pipes and fittings. Use only
sealant compounds suited for plastic pipe. Support pipe to prevent strains
on filter, pump or valve. DO NOT USE PETROLEUM BASED
PRODUCTS
15. Never store pool chemicals within ten (10) feet of your pool filter or pump.
Pool chemicals should always be stored in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.
Chemical fumes and/or spills can cause serious
corrosion to the filter and pump structural components. Structurally
weakened components can cause filter, pump or valve attachments to
separate and could cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
The system’s centrifugal pump operates with electrical
voltage, and can generate both vacuum and pressure in the water
system. When properly wired and plumbed, this pump will operate in a
safe manner.
High voltage can cause serious or fatal injury. Always
install a suitable GFCI at the power source of this unit as an added
safety precaution. Article 681-31 of the NEC requires that a GFCI be
used if this pump is used with a storable pool.
16. Avoid over tightening the pipe threads when connecting fittings to pump or
filter. Proper procedure is to apply a pipe sealant to the thread and then
install hand tight plus one (1) turn. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external
leaks of the completed filter and plumbing system, insure that the
Maximum Pressure that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES
NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF
THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In most
cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the
system.
