INSTALLATION
This product should be installed and serviced only by a
qualified professional.
Only simple tools (screwdriver and wrenches), plus pipe sealant for plastic adapters,
are required to install and/or service the filter.
1.
The filter system should be installed, not more than 6 feet above pool water level, or below the pool water
level, on
a level
concrete slab, very firm ground, or equivalent. Select a well drained area, one that does not
flood when it rains. Position the filter so that the piping connections, control valve and winter drain are
convenient and accessible for operation, service and winterizing.
2.
Position filter so the tank can drain by gravity.
3.
If practical, place pump and filter in the shade to shield it from continuous, direct heat from the sun.

Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer, pool outlet and the pump.

If pressure gauge is not installed, apply Teflon tape to the gauge threads and carefully screw the gauge into the
gauge adapter assembly.
