OWNER INFORMATION AND SAFETY
The VIRON QL Cartridge 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.
WARNING
: 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.
WARNING:
THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
When any part of the circulating system, (filter, pump, valves, clamp etc) are serviced, air can enter the system and become
pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to be blown off, which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage.
To avoid this potential hazard, please follow these instructions.
1.
Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly or adjustment of the clamp of the filter
or any other service of the circulating system, TURN THE PUMP OFF and shut OFF any automatic controls to
ensure the system is NOT inadvertently started during the servicing, Open the AIR BLEED VALVE in the top of the
filter lid and 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 THE RESTART INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY
4.
Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damage parts immediately
5.
Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to instructions provided.
WARNING:
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. Establish a barrier and post warning signs around the pressurized equipment. If the equipment is
located in a plant room, lock the access doors and post warning signs.
Never attempt to adjust any closures or lids or attempt to remove or tighten bolts on the system when pressurized. These
actions can result in a separation or failure of the system components. This instantaneous release of pressure can cause
components to be accelerated to high velocities and to travel great distances. These components could cause severe
personal injury or death if they were to strike a person.
WARNING:
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool filter must be installed by a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Always disconnect power to the pool 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 service people, 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 discharge from an
improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal injury as well as damage
property.
