ZXC-SERIES™ | Installation and Operation Manual
Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
This product should only be installed and serviced by a qualified pool professional and conform to all
national, state, and local codes. When installing and servicing, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
WARNING
Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurised water producing
pressures greater than 250 KPA (36 PSI).
Pressurised air in system can cause the filter lid to be blown off which can result in death, serious personal injury,
or property damage. Be sure all air is out of system before operating or testing the equipment.
WARNING
MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE OF THE FILTER IS 250 KPA (36 PSI). NEVER SUBJECT THE FILTER TO
ANY OPERATING PRESSURE EXCEEDING 250 KPA (36 PSI).
This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system, i.e., filter, pump, valve(s), clamp,
etc. is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurised when the system is restarted. Pressurised air
can cause the filter lid to be blown off which can result in death, serious personal injury or property damage. To
avoid this potential hazard, follow all of the instructions in this manual.
WARNING
To minimise risk of severe injury or death the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping system
pressurisation test.
Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These requirements are
generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment such as filters or pumps.
Zodiac equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
If however this WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include the filter and/
or pump BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings and system accessories to ensure they are properly installed and secured
before testing.
RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing.
Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 250 KPA (36 PSI).
Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 38°C (100°F).
Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
Notice: These parameters apply to Zodiac equipment only. For non-Zodiac equipment, consult equipment
manufacturer.
WARNING
Chemical spills and fumes can weaken pool/spa equipment. Corrosion can cause filters and other equipment to
fail, resulting in severe injury or property damage. Do not store pool chemicals near your equipment.
WARNING
Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
