WARNING
MAXIMUM OPERATING
PRESSURE OF THE FILTER IS 50
PSI. NEVER SUBJECT THE
FILTER TO ANY OPERATING
PRESSURE EXCEEDING 50 PSI
Do not connect the system to an unregulated city
•
water system or other external source of pressurized
water producing pressures greater than 35 PSI.
This filter operates under high pressure. When
•
any part of the circulating system, i.e., filter, pump,
valve(s), etc. is serviced, air can enter the system and
become pressurized when the system is restarted.
•
Pressurized air in a system can cause product failure
or also cause the filter lid to be blown off which can
result in death, serious personal injury or property
damage. Ensure that all air is out of the system
before operating the equipment.
To minimize risk of severe injury or death, the filter
•
and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping
pressurization test. Local codes may require the pool
piping system to be subjected to a pressure test.
These requirements are generally not intended to
apply to the pool equipment such as filters or pumps.
Jandy pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
If however, this WARNING cannot be followed and
pressure testing of the piping system must include
the filter and/or pump BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH
THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
•
Check all clamps, bolts, lids, locking devices and
system accessories to ensure they are properly
installed and secured before testing.
•
RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing.
Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI
•
Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED
•
100º F (38º C).
•
Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check
system to be sure it is ready for operation.
Attention installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation
and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner/operator of this
equipment.
1. Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation.
2. Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, removal or adjustment of the lid, or any other service of
the circulating system:
(A) turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure the system is not inadvertently started during servicing
(B) open the air release valve.
(C) wait until all pressure is relieved (air will have stopped flowing from the air release valve).
3. When installing the threaded lid follow
4. Once service on the circulation system is complete, follow Section
5. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
6. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to these installation instructions.
7. Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure testing must be done by a trained pool professional. Use equipment only in a pool or spa
installation.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Section 3.4
of this manual.
NOTICE: These parameters apply only to Jandy
equipment. For non-Jandy equipment, consult the
equipment manufacturer.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, which can result in
serious injury or death:
•
Ensure that all electrical to the system is turned off
before approaching, inspecting or troubleshooting
any leaking valves or plumbing that may have
caused other electrical devices in the surrounding
area to get wet.
Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter
•
or valve can create an electrical hazard which can
cause death, serious injury or property damage.
•
Improper dial valve installation can cause product
failure or also cause the filter dial to be blown off,
which can result in death, serious personal injury or
property damage.
•
Never attempt to adjust or remove the dial valve
when the pump is running or there is pressure in the
system. this can cause product failure or also cause
the filter dial to be blown off, which can result in
death, serious personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
•
Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order.
The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how
the filter is operating.
•
Creating high vacuum levels can cause the tank
vessel to crack and leak with the potential for
property damage.
•
Be sure that all provisions for waste water disposal
meet local, provincial or national codes. During any
backwash or draining process, 100 gallons or more
of water will be discharged. Do not discharge water
where it will cause flooding or damage.
•
To avoid damaging the laterals (spokes), slowly add
the filter media until the laterals are fully covered.
Consult Installation and Operation Manual for complete
sand filling instructions. Cracked or broken laterals
(spokes) will cause sand to be discharged to the pool.
