IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

QUAD D.E.

®

 Cartridge Style D.E. Filter Installation and User’s Guide

Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of 
the system components. Exceeding these limits 
could result in a component failing under pressure. 
This instantaneous release of energy can cause the 
closure to separate and could cause severe personal 

injury or death if they were to strike a person.

Due to the potential risk that can be involved it is 
recommended that the pressure test be kept to 
the minimum time required by the local code. Do 
not allow people to work around the system when 
the circulation system is under pressure test. Post 

appropriate warning signs and establish a barrier around the pressurized 
equipment. If the equipment is located in an equipment room, lock the 
door and post a warning sign. 
Never attempt to adjust any closures or lids or attempt to remove or 
tighten bolts when the system is pressurized. These actions can result in 
a separation or failure of system components. This instantaneous release 
of energy can cause components to be accelerated to high velocities and 
to travel far distances. These components could cause severe personal 
injury or death if they were to strike a person.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION

This filter must be installed by a qualified service 
professional in accordance with the National Electrical 
Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. 
Always disconnect power to the equipment at the 

circuit breaker before servicing any of the equipment. Ensure that the 
disconnected circuit is locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be 
switched on while you are working on the pool equipment. Failure to do 
so could result in serious injury or death to serviceman, pool users or 
others due to electric shock. 
Position the filter and the air relief valve to safely direct water drainage and 
purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter 
or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal 
injury as well as damage property. 

Consumer Information and Safety 

This filter is designed and manufactured to provide many years of safe 
and reliable service when installed, operated and maintained according 
to the information in this manual and the installation codes referred to in 
later sections. Throughout the manual, safety warnings and cautions are 
identified by the “

” symbol. Be sure to read and comply with all of the 

warnings and cautions.

Before installing this product, read and follow all 
warning notices and instructions which are included. 

Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe 
injury, death, or property damage.  Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free 
copies of these instructions. 

Do not operate the filter until you have read and 
understand clearly all the operating instructions and 

warning messages for all equipment that is a part of the pool circulating 
system. The following instructions are intended as a guide for initially 
operating the filter in a general pool installation, however each installation 
may have unique conditions where the starting procedure could be 
different. Failure to follow all operating instructions and warning messages 
can result in severe injury, death, or property damage.

To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions: 

1.  Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, 

disassembly, or adjustment of the clamp or any other service of the 
circulating system: (A) Turn the pump 

OFF

 and 

shut OFF 

any automatic 

controls to ensure the system is NOT inadvertently started during the 
servicing; (B) open the

 

manual air relief valve; (C) stand clear of the 

filter; (D) wait until all pressure is relieved.

2.   Whenever installing the filter clamp 

FOLLOW THE

 

FILTER CLAMP 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY

.

3.   Once service on the circulating system is complete 

FOLLOW SYSTEM 

RESTART INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY

.

4.   Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts 

immediately, (e.g., clamp, pressure gauge, valve(s), o-rings, etc).

5.   Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according 

to instructions provided.

FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.

When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., clamp, 

pump, filter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air can enter 

the system and become pressurized. Pressurized 

air can cause the lid to separate which can result in 

severe injury, death, or property damage.

Do not permit children to use or operate this filter. 

Use only a PTFE or silicone based lubricant when 
lubricating the O-rings on the union and bulkhead 

couplings. Use of petroleum based products will damage the equipment.
