2. To make sure all filter base ports are clear, screw all fittings into base
hand tight before applying pipe sealer to threads. BE CAREFUL not to
cross thread.
3. Wrap 1-1/2 to 2 layers of Teflon tape to male threads only, or use Plasto-
Joint Stik or Silastic RTV#732 on all piping and fittings.
4. Hand tighten fitting in each port. Be careful not to cross thread.
5. With wrench, tighten fittings to a snug fit. Be careful not to thread fittings
past thread stop.
6. If pipe connections leak, remove, clean off sealant, reapply sealant and
retighten in ports. Do not overtighten.
START-UP
Hazardous pressure. Risk of severe injury or major property
damage if tank explodes. Read the entire procedure before starting system or
disassembling filter.
A. Turn pump OFF before starting procedure.
B. Properly seat filter clamps and securely tighten clamp knobs before pro-
ceeding.
C. Read decal on tank.
NOTICE:
Tightly close plugs or valves in #3 Tank Drain Port and #4 Auxiliary
Drain Port.
1. Open air release valve (Key No. 2, Page 14) located on top of filter tank
head.
NOTICE:
Air trapped inside the filter greatly increases the explosion hazard.
The air release valve allows you to get accumulated air out of the filter tank.
At startup, open the air release valve and make sure that it is running a solid
stream of water before putting the filter in service.
2. Start pump.
3. When a steady stream of water comes from air release valve, close valve.
4. After filter is operating, record filter pressure gauge reading in owner’s
manual for future use.
NOTICE:
When installed on a new pool, filter element may need cleaning
after approximately 48 hours of operation.
NOTICE:
A new or recently cleaned filter element may pass some foreign
material until it builds up a sufficient coating to stop all “fines”. This is nor-
mal; a short operational period will correct the condition.
Check pressure gauge; if pressure has risen more than 10 PSI (70kPa) above
startup pressure, remove and clean element.

# 3 tank drain port is used to drain tank prior to
normal filter cleaning.
#4 auxiliary drain port is used to drain excess
unfiltered water (e.g., from heavy rainfall, etc.) to
waste or to drain filter if a heavy dirt load plugs
cartridge. Three-quarter inch hose bibs may be
fitted to these drains to allow easy drainage of
waste water away from filter area.
