OWNER’S GUIDE

Your Micro Star-Clear cartridge filter has an output rating of 1400 gallons (5299 L) per hour.

The filter and pump are combined on a molded mounting base and are manufactured from
durable, corrosion-proof materials. The system is designed for installation below the pool
water line.

The Micro Star-Clear filter system utilizes a reusable single element, reinforced polyester

filter cartridge to provide a high degree of water clarity with absolute minimum care.
Removal of the cartridge for routine cleaning is fast and easy to do.

The SP1540 series Power-Flo LX  pump is a non-corrosive centrifugal pump with pressure,

flow and operation designed for swimming pool service and may be operated on an inter-
mittent or continuous basis. 

SYSTEM  LOCATION

Though the system is designed for outdoor use, it is
advisable to protect electrical components from the
weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not
flood when it rains.

Position the system below the swimming pool water
line and as close to the pool as possible. Set the
mounting platform level. Allow a minimum clearance
for cartridge removal. Be sure the pipe connections,
drain, etc., are accessible for convenient operation
and cartridge removal.

TO  ASSEMBLE  THE  SYSTEM

Place pump and motor on mounting base. Align holes
in motor base with holes in mounting base and secure
with two screws and washers provided.

Securely thread sweep elbow, with 3-4 wraps of
Teflon pipe tape, into outlet of pump. Position so that
large thread end points back toward the motor, at an
angle, toward corner of base.

Thread the ball end of union, with union nut, into
filter connection marked “IN.”  Use Teflon tape (3-4
wraps on thread) and screw in as far as possible hand
tight, then one additional turn with a wrench.

Adjust ball and socket and join by hand tightening
union nut.  Do not overtighten.

All plumbing connections on the system are 1-1/2”
N.P.T.  When making connections, use plastic male-
end adapters and flexible hose. Apply  three turns of
Teflon tape or plastic pipe sealant to the male
threads. Screw the fitting into the thread hand tight;
then using a wrench, tighten one more full turn.
Additional tightening is unnecessary and could
result in damage to components. 

NOTE: For extra convenience, you may wish to install

valves on the inlet and discharge of the system to
prevent back flow of water when removing cartridge.
See dealer for further information.

Connect the pool suction plumbing between the
skimmer pool outlet, and the pump. Connect the pool
return (inlet) plumbing.

A drain plug is furnished with each filter and is all
that is needed for complete filter draining. A manual
air vent valve is furnished to aid in bleeding off
unwanted air when starting the filter.

All electrical connections must be made in
accordance with local codes.

Check for joint leaks before operating the system.

Refer to pump instruction booklet for pump
information.

BEFORE STARTING THE FILTER

Superchlorinate the pool water by adding unstabilized
granular or liquid chlorine. Stabilized forms of chlorine
are recommended for normal daily use after the initial
clean up of the water.  Follow chemical manufacturer’s
recommendations for superchlorination and daily use.

STARTING THE FILTER

Open manual air vent valve a few turns. CAUTION: All
suction and discharge valves must be open when
starting the system. Failure to do so could cause
severe personal injury and/or property damage.

Prime and start the pump following the manufacturer’s
instructions. Air trapped in the system will automatically
vent to the pool and out vent valve.  Close vent valve as
soon as air is vented.
