INSTALLATION - GENERAL
Installation of filter should only be done by qualified, licensed personnel.
Filter mount must
Provide space and lighting for easy access for routine maintenance.
Provide adequate ventilation and drainage for pump.
Be protected from weather and reasonably level.
Be less than three feet above pool water level.
Be as close to pool as possible to reduce line loss from pipe friction.
Piping
All piping must conform to local and state plumbing and sanitary codes.
Never use pipe joint sealing compound on pipe and fittings that are plastic or
may come into contact with plastic. To seal threaded connections on PVC
pipe and fittings, use only Teflon tape, Plasto-Joint Stik* or Silastic RTV
#732**; pipe joint compound may cause stress cracking of plastic compo-
nents. Use pipe joint compounds only on metal-to-metal joints.
Support pipe independently to prevent strains on filter or pump.
Use 1-1/2” or 2” pipe to reduce pressure losses.
NOTICE: Filter locations remote from pool are possible but may require larger
pipe to produce adequate flow through filter.
Check local codes if considering a remote installation.
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
Keep piping tight and free of leaks: pump suction line leaks may cause
trapped air in filter tank or loss of prime at pump; pump discharge line leaks
may show up as dampness or jets of water.
Valves
A check valve installed between pool and filter outlet will prevent contami-
nants from draining back into pool.
NOTICE: A check valve between filter and pool will also prevent possible
backflow which could dislocate element from its seat.
A check valve installed between filter and heater will prevent hot water from
heater from backing up into the filter and deforming filter elements.
NOTICE: Damaging filter elements through excessive heat voids the warranty.
Electrical
BE SURE filter grounding and bonding meets local and National Electrical
Code standards. All wiring, grounding and bonding of associated equipment
must meet local and National Electrical Code standards.
