Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1
Important Safety Warning
• Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurized water
producing pressures greater than 35 PSI.
• Pressurized air in 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. Be sure all air is out of system before
operating or testing the equipment.
MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE OF THE FILTER IS 50 PSI. NEVER SUBJECT THE FILTER TO ANY
OPERATING PRESSURE EXCEEDING 50 PSI.
This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system, i.e., filter, pump, valve(s), clamp,
etc. is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized when the system is restarted. Pressurized air
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. To avoid this potential hazard, follow all of the instructions in this manual.
To minimize risk of severe injury or death the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping system
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 Pro Series 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, lock rings 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 100°F (38°C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
Notice: These parameters apply to Jandy Pro Series equipment only. For non-Jandy equipment, consult equipment manufacturer.

Operation".
5. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn
