manual when installing and operating equipment. Have a
trained pool professional perform all pressure tests.
Do not connect filter to compressed air under any
circumstances.
Do not connect system to a city water system or
other external source of pressurized water.
Do not connect filter to pumps capable of exceed-
ing 50 PSI (345 kPa) maximum pressure.
Open air release valve to vent all air from system
before operating the system.
Risk of falls and injury. Filter surface is slip-
pery. Do not allow children to stand or play on filter.

GENERAL INFORMATION

When to Clean the Filter: The filter cartridge should nor-
mally be cleaned when the pressure gauge reading in-
creases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure.
In some pools, accessories such as fountains or pool
cleaners may be noticeably affected by the normal de-
crease in flow as the filter becomes dirty. If so, clean the
filter more frequently (that is, at a pressure increase of
less than 10 PSI) in order to maintain the required flow.
Clean a new pool as well as possible before filling pool
and operating filter.
A typical pool installation will require approximately
one week to obtain and maintain the sparkle that your
filter is capable of giving you.
Maximum pressure is 50 PSI (345 kPa). DO NOT con-
nect the filter to a city water system or to an individual
water well system.
The Sta-Rite cartridge filter is designed to filter water for
swimming pools and hot tubs only. On a new installa-
tion, we recommend:
1. Disassemble the filter after the initial cleanup. Follow
"Filter Disassembly/Assembly Procedure" on Page 5.
2. Remove and hose down the cartridge to remove
contaminants.
Maintain pool water pH between 7.2 and 7.6.
Make sure that the Posi-Ring™ is securely locked in
place before operating filter.
Maintain the pressure gauge in good working order.
Replace a damaged gauge immediately.
Cleaning interval is based on pressure rise, not on
the length of time the filter is operated. Different
water conditions will have different normal cleaning
intervals.
NOTICE: Some pool disinfectants may clog the filter car-
tridge. To maximize cartridge life and filter cycle time,
closely follow the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions
when cleaning pool or filter. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may affect warranty coverage of the cartridge.
