Section II.
FILTER OPERATION
This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., lock ring, pump, filter,
valves, etc.) Is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to
blow off which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these
instructions.
1. Before repositioning valves and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the lock ring
or any other service of the circulating system: (a) turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to
assure the system is not inadvertently started during the servicing; (b) open air relief valve; and (c) wait until
all pressure is relieved -pressure gauge must read zero (0).
2. Whenever installing the filter lock ring, follow the filter lock ring installation instructions exactly.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart instructions exactly.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately (e.g., lock ring, pressure
gauge, relief valve, o rings, etc.)
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to the instructions provided.
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. This filter operates under pressure. When the lock ring is installed properly and operated without air in the water system,
this filter will operate in a safe manner.
2. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the filter is operating. Maintain your pressure gauge in good working
order.
Your filter is a piece of machinery, do not tamper with it, attempt to disassemble it or otherwise adjust it unless
you fully understand it's operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the equipment is improperly handled.
Consult a pool service professional for maintenance and service assistance.
3. Clean your filter when pressure reads between 0.8 - 1 bar higher than the original starting pressure. Your filter pressure
reading will increase as it removes dirt from your pool. However, this buildup of pressure will vary due to different bathing
loads, temperature, weather conditions, etc.
My original starting pressure is ___________
I should clean the filter cartridges at __________.
B. LOCK RING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions must be followed exactly to prevent the lid from blowing off during system restart or later operation.
1.
Perform the following steps before working on any part of the circulating system (e.g., lock ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.).
a. Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during servicing.
b. Open the High Flow™ manual air relief valve.
c. Wait until all pressure is relieved. Never attempt to assemble, disassemble or adjust the filter lock ring while there is any
pressure in the filter.
This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g. lock ring, pump, filter,
valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to
be blown off which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow
these instructions.
2. Be certain the O-ring is in position in the lower tank half. Place the filter lid over the lower tank half, making sure it is fully and
firmly seated on the tank half, see Figure 1.
3. Place lock ring over the tank lid, and centering the lock ring on the threads of the tank body. Turn the lock ring clockwise until
the safety latches click and the lock ring hits the stops on the body. Do not attempt to over-tighten the lock ring after lock ring
has hit the stops on the body.
4. Follow the System Restart Instructions in Section C.
C. SYSTEM RESTART INSTRUCTIONS
1. Open the High FlowTM manual air relief valve until it snaps into the full open position(this
only requires a quarter turn counter-clockwise).
Opening this valve rapidly, releases air trapped in the filter.
2. Stand clear of the filter tank, then start the pump.
3. Close the High Flow™ manual air relief valve after a steady stream of water appears.
4. The system is not working properly if either of the following conditions occur.
a. A solid stream of water does not appear within 30 seconds,
after the pump's inlet basket fills with water.
b. The pressure gauge indicates pressure before water outflow appears
If either condition exists, shut off the pump immediately, open valves in the water return line to
relieve pressure, and clean the air relief valve. Cleaning the High FlowTM manual air relief valve.
