IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE SAFE, PROPER
AND ECONOMICAL OPERATION OF THE SWIMMING POOL PUMPS. STRICT OBSERVATION OF
THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WILL HELP TO AVOID DANGERS, REDUCE REPAIR COSTS,
SHUTDOWN TIMES AND INCREASE THE RELIABILITY AND WORKING LIFE OF THE PRODUCT.
ENGLISH
Section I.
FILTER INSTALLATION
1. The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the filter so that the instructions, warnings and pressure
gauge are visible to the operator. Also, position the filter so that the piping connections, control valve and drain port are
convenient and accessible for servicing and winterizing.
2. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers control systems, etc.) at least 2m (5 feet) from the filter. This will
allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during system start up.
3. Provide sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual verification that the clamp is properly installed.
4. Provide sufficient space above the filter to remove the filter lid for cleaning and servicing. This distance will vary with the
model of filter you are using.
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. Position the filter and High FlowTM manual air
relief valve to safely direct water drainage and purged air or water. Water discharged
from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard that can
cause severe personal injury as well as damage property.
5. When installing the High Flow™ manual air relief valve use the O-ring only, there is no need for thread sealing
compounds. Position the filter to safely direct water drainage. Rotate the valve to safely direct purged air or water. Water
discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard as well as damage property.
6. Make all plumbing connections in accordance with local plumbing and building codes. Filter plumbing connections are
provided with an O-ring seal. Use only a silicone base lubricant on the O-rings.
7. The base of this filter is provided with two (2) mounting bosses for the purpose of anchoring the filter to the concrete.
8. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 3.5 bar. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of this amount,
even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 3.5 bar can cause the lid to be blown off, which can
result in severe injury, death or property damage.
When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing system,
ensure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration system will be subjected to Does not exceed the maximum working pressure
of any of the components contained within the system. In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of
the system.
If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief or
Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.
