Connecting Filter Piping
NOTICE:
For ease of installation, plastic pipe and fittings are recommended
for all piping to and from pool. DO NOT use pipe joint compound on base of
filter; to do so will cause stress cracking of base, which will void warranty and
may cause property damage.
Risk of damage to filter. Do not tighten fittings into base ports
past thread stops. To do so will ruin filter base and void warranty, and may
cause property damage.
NOTICE:
If pool or spa/tub water level is higher than filter base, shut-off
valves must be installed in suction and return lines.
