Section 3. Installation Instructions
3.1 Filter Location
1. Select a well-drained area, one that does not flood
when it rains. Damp, non-ventilated areas should
be avoided.
2. Provide solid mounting for the filter and pump
system. Install system on a concrete slab or solid
concrete blocks to avoid risk of settlement. Do not
use sand to level the filter as the sand will wash
away. Filter systems can weigh up to 800 lbs.
3. Install electrical controls at least five (5) feet from
the filter. This will allow enough room to stand
away from the filter during start-up.
4. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to
permit a visual inspection of the clamp ring (see
Fig. 2).
5. Allow sufficient space above the filter to remove
the filter lid and filter element for cleaning and
servicing.
6. Position the filter to safely direct water drainage.
Align the air release valve to safely direct purged
air or water.

7. If the filter needs to be located above the water
level of the pool, it can be raised 2.5 ft. without
affecting the pump efficiency. A check valve is
recommended on the suction line to the pump.
8. If the filter is to be installed below the water level
of the pool, isolation valves should be installed on
both the suction and return lines to prevent back
flow of pool water during any routine servicing
that may be required.
3.2 Anchor Bracket Installation
In some areas, for example Florida, building codes
require that all appliances be securely fastened to the
equipment pad in order to withstand high wind pressures
created by hurricanes. Jandy provides an anchor bracket
kit for this purpose. Please see the Parts List in Section
9 of this manual for the correct part number. Follow the
Anchor Bracket Installation Kit Instructions to attach
the brackets to the filter.

After placing the filter on the equipment pad, as outlined
in Section 3.1, drill a 5/32" hole in the concrete at
each of the four brackets on the filter. (The correct size
concrete drill bit should be obtained when the concrete
screws are purchased.)
Install the Tapcon
®
screws and washers through each
of the four (4) anchor brackets to secure the filter to the
equipment pad. See Figure 3.
Do not over-torque the
screws
.
3.3 Filter Preparation
1.
Check carton for damage due to rough handling
in shipment. If carton or any filter components are
damaged, notify carrier immediately.
2.
Carefully remove the accessory package.
3.
A visual inspection of all parts should be made
now. See parts list in Section 9.
4.
With the carton in an upright position, remove the
filter tank from the carton.
5. To mount the pressure gauge/air release assembly
to the top of the filter tank (located in the accessory
bag):
a.
Place the smaller, thicker o-ring onto the
threads of the tank adapter (see Figure 4).
Slide the tank adapter through the coupling
