Before Installation be sure to read all instructions and warn-
ings carefully. Refer to product dataplate(s) for additional operat-
ing instruction and specifications.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this equipment, basic safety precau-
tions should always be followed, including the following:
INSPECTION
Examine the equipment when received. Notify your dealer or car-
rier of any damage or missing parts. Verify that equipment is of
size and model specified.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Locate unit on a solid foundation as close to pool/spa as pos-
sible, but keep at a distance of at least 5 feet (1.5 m). (See above
Warning). Give consideration to drainage - away from equipment,
ventilation, and access for future servicing and winterizing.
PUMP SELECTION
A full line of pool/spa pumps are available for installation with these
filters. For those installations where the equipment will be placed
above the water level, a self-priming pump should be selected. Ask
your dealer to determine the proper size pump for your applica-
tion. Consideration must be given to pipe size and distance from
pool or spa and friction losses of associated equipment.
GENERAL PLUMBING
FOR SOLVENT WELD CONNECTIONS
Rigid or flexible PVC pipe can be used. Pipe ends should be
clean and free of any flask caused by the cutting operation. Be
sure that the proper adhesive is used on the type of pipe speci-
fied.
Caution: We recommend that you consider climatic conditions
when applying adhesives. Certain atmospheric situations, such
as high moisture content, make the adhesive action of certain
glues less effective. Check the manufacturer's instructions.
FOR THREADED CONNECTIONS
Use only Teflon tape or equivalent on threaded plumbing connec-
tions. Other pipe compounds may damage threads. We do not
recommend the use of silicone or petroleum based compounds.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN: HAND TIGHTEN PLUS 1/2 TURN IS
SUFFICIENT.
FILTER PLUMBING
Your filter is provided with 1-1/2" NPT or 2" NPT threaded inlet and
outlet. When installing, look for the words PUMP and RETURN
molded into the filter body.
When the filter is located below water level, a valve should be
installed at both PUMP and RETURN. Shutting off both of these
valves will prevent loss of water during regular maintenance.
To reduce risk of injury, do not
permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
Locate the system at least five feet
(1.5M) from the pool to prevent it be-
ing used as a means of access to the pool by young children.
(See ANSI/NSPI-8 1996 “Model Barrier Code For Residential
Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs”).

WARNING
!
This filter operates under pressure.
If this unit is not assembled properly
or is operated with air in the circulation system, serious bodily
injury and/or property damage could occur.
Your filter is a pressure vessel and
should never be serviced while un-
der pressure. Always shut off pump to relieve the pressure in
the filter and open air bleed prior to servicing the unit.
Always make sure the filter Ring-Lok
is tightened to "built-in stop" prior to
operating pump. Do Not remove or adjust the ring-lok while
the pump is running; doing so may cause the filter cover to
blow off, causing injury or property damage.
