Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation and operation of the CL and CV Jandy
Cartridge Filters. Procedures in this manual must be
followed exactly. For technical assistance, contact our
Technical Support Department at 1.800.822.7933.
2.2
Description
Cartridge filters do not require sand or diatomaceous
earth as the filter medium. Instead, the filter contains
filter elements which are easily removed for cleaning
or replacement.
Dirty water flows into the filter tank through the water
line connected to the lower bulkhead (inlet) on the
bottom half of the tank body. It is directed through
the filter cartridge inside of the filter. The debris is
collected in the filter and the clean water flows out of
the filter through the upper bulkhead (outlet) on the
bottom half of the tank body. Clean water is returned
through the piping system to the pool.
As debris collects in the filter, the pressure will rise
and water flow to the pool will diminish. The filter will
eventually become so plugged with debris that it will
be necessary to remove the filter cartridges and clean
them with soap and water.
NOTE: A filter removes dirt and other suspended particles but
does not sanitize the pool. Pool water must be sanitized
and chemically balanced for clear water. The filtration
system should be designed to meet local health codes. At
a minimum, the system should turnover the total volume
of water in your pool two to four times in a 24 hour period.
2.3
General Requirements
1. For best overall performance place the system as
close to the pool as possible.
2. The filter should be located on a level concrete slab
so that the orientation of the valve outlets and the
pressure gauge are convenient and accessible for
the installation and operation of the unit.
3. Protect the filter from the weather.
4. If fitting a chlorinator and/or any other device into
the filtration plumbing circuit, great care must be
exercised to ensure that the appliance is installed
in accordance with the Manufacturer's Instructions
and any standards that may exist.
5. We recommend the use of barrel unions to connect
each component of the water conditioning system
to ease in future servicing. Barrel unions are
provided with all Jandy filters.

®
The maximum operating pressure for this filter is 50 psi.
Never subject the filter to operating pressure exceeding
50 psi. Operating pressures above 50 psi can cause
product failure or also cause the lid to be blown off,
which can result in death, serious personal injury, or
property damage.
6. When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or
when testing for external leaks of the completed
filtration and plumbing system, ensure that
the maximum pressure the filtration system is
subjected to does not exceed the maximum
working pressure of any of the components within
the system.
