Section 2.
FILTER OPERATION
THE 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 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. The filter operates under pressure. When the lock ring is installed properly and operated without air in the
water system, the filter will operate in a safe manner.
2. WARNING! The maximum working pressure of the filter is 3.5 BAR (50 psi). Never subject the filter to
pressure in excess of this amount - even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 3.5
BAR (50 psi) can cause lid to be blown off, which can result in serious 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.
3. 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.
4. Clean your filter when pressure reads between 0.5 - 0.8 BAR (8-10 psi) 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 ___________ BAR or PSI
I SHOULD CLEAN THE FILTER CARTRIDGES AT __________ BAR or PSI
