CONNECTING THE FILTER SYSTEM
ONLY (2) CONNECTIONS ARE REQUIRED VIA ONE SWIVEL
COUPLING AND ONE 40ML TAKE-OFF UNION. THESE ARE:
1.
Pump to Skimmer Box.
2.
Filter to Return to Pool(R.T.P.). (40ml Valve Take-Off
union (V.T.O.) provided). Glue adaptor to 40ml PVC
tube and attach plumbing to filter base.
3.
It is recommended that the filter and pump be mounted
on a concrete slab.
START UP PROCEDURE
1. PRIMING THE PUMP
(PUMP INSTALLED ABOVE WATER LEVEL ONLY. IF PUMP
INSTALLED BELOW WATER LEVEL, PROCEED TO STEP 2).
A
Remove clear Pump lid:
(I) by turning anti-clockwise (ENDURO pump models)
(II) by turning the clamp knobs anti-clockwise to open
(SQI pump models)
then fill the pump bowl with water to the suction inlet level.
B
Check rubber Pump lid seal is clean and located in the
groove within:
(I) the lid (ENDURO pump models)
(II) the pump body (SQI pump models)
C
Replace clear lid by hand tightening in a
clockwise direction:
(I) the lid (ENDURO pump models)
(II) the clamp knobs (SQI pump models)
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
2. STARTING THE FILTER
A
Open Air Release Valve on top of Filter Tank several turns
(DO NOT REMOVE).
THE FILTER SYSTEM IS NOW FILTERING THE POOL/SPA AND
THE PRESSURE GAUGE READING IN THE “FILTER” RANGE.
AS THE PROCESS OF FILTERING CONTINUES, THE
UNWANTED SOLIDS BUILD UP AND THE PRESSURE GAUGE
READING RISES ACCORDINGLY.
WHEN THE POINTER REACHES THE “RED” SECTION ON THE
DIAL, THE FILTER MUST BE CLEANED.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CLEANING THE FILTER – 130 and 240
• Switch the Pump off.
• Close any shut-off Valves on Suction and return lines to
and from Pool/Spa (filter installed below water level).

B
Ensure all plumbing lines to and from the Pool/Spa are
clear (i.e. shutoff valves “OPEN” etc.).
C
Switch on Pump.
D
Observe the reaction through the clear lid of the Pump.
The Pump will at first draw water in surges until all air
within the Pump Bowl and Suction Piping from the Pool/
Spa has been expelled.
If air is still present after approximately three (3) minutes,
check the following:
• Ensure clear Pump lid is correctly tightened onto Rubber Seal.
• Check the Couplings on the Pump Suction Inlet are tight.
• Check correct water level in Pool/Spa.
• Check Skimmer Weir is free and not jammed.
• Make sure Skimmer Vacuum Plate is removed.
• Clear all leaves and debris from Strainer Baskets.
NOTE: If air is still present, the Suction Piping to the
Pool/Spa should be checked.
E
When the Filter Tank is full, i.e. when water escapes
through Air Release Valve, close Valve
(DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN).
