IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
—
WARNING
This filter must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others and
may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool circulating system at the circuit breaker before servicing the
filter. Ensure that the disconnected circuit is locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be
switched on while you are working on the filter. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or
death to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
WARNING — Do not operate the filter until you have read and understand clearly all the operating instructions
and warning messages for all equipment that is a part of the pool circulating system. The
following instructions are intended as a guide for initially operating the filter in a general pool
installation. Failure to follow all operating instructions and warning messages can result in
property damage or severe personal injury or death.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
WARNING — Due to the potential risk that can be involved it is recommended that the pressure test be kept to
the minimum time required by the local code. Do not allow people to work around the system
when the circulation system is under pressure test. Post appropriate warning signs and establish
a barrier around the pressurized equipment. If the equipment is located in an equipment room,
lock the door and post a warning sign.
Never attempt to adjust any closures or lids or attempt to remove or tighten bolts when the system
is pressurized. These actions can cause the closure to blow off and could cause severe personal
injury or death if they were to strike a person.
WARNING — Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of the system components. Exceeding these
limits could result in a component failing under pressure. This instantaneous release of energy
can cause the closure to blow off and could cause severe personal injury or death if they were to
strike a person.
