components may fail in use and
cause explosive

separation. Verify that upper and
lower filter bodies are properly
secured with the filter body
clamp.
Never rely on hand tightening the
clamp nut to the clamp bolt. Using a
¾” socket on a torque
wrench,
torque clamp nut to clamp bolt to
150 inch-lbs. (See Fig 1) Verify that
the filter manual air relief

Open all system valves to allow
water from the pool to the filtration
system and from the filter to return to
the pool.
Before Starting the Pump
Starting Pump
1.
When starting system pump,
do not stand over or near filter. If
water leakage appears at filter tank
clamp,
immediately turn off all system
circulation pumps and all electrical
power. Do not return to the filter until
all
water leakage has stopped.
Reassemble the clamp system per
the instructions on page 7 in this
owner’s manual to stop leak.

stream of water (not air or, air and
water
mix) is discharged from the
manual air relief valve.

WARNING
OPERATION
FILTERING
Filtration starts as soon as flow is
steady through the filter. As the filter
removes
dirt from the pool water, the
accumulated dirt causes a resistance
to flow. As a
result, the gauge pressure will rise
and the flow will decrease. When the
pressure rises between 7 and 10 psi
(.49 - .69 bar) above the starting
pressure, or when the flow decreases
below
the desired rate, clean or
replace the filter cartridge elements.
Once your filter is running and there
is a pressure
reading, line up the
green arrow with the current reading.
(See Fig 3) When the pressure rises
to or above the red
or second arrow,
it is time to clean or replace your filter
cartridge elements.
By recording the initial starting
pressure (with clean filter
elements) a
determination can be made when the
filter
cartridge elements should be
replaced rather than cleaned.
After the
filter elements have been cleaned and
reinstalled if
the starting pressure is
higher than 6 PSI above the starting
pressure with the new filter cartridge
elements, the filter
cartridge elements
should be replaced the next time the
gauge arrow reaches the red arrow.
