WARNING
To avoid an electrical shock hazard, which can result in
serious injury or death, ensure that all electrical power 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.
1. This filter operates under pressure. When the
locking ring is properly seated and the filter is
operated without air in the water system, this filter
will operate in a safe manner.
2. If the system can be subjected to higher pressures
than the maximum working pressure of the lowest
rated component, install an ASME
automatic Pressure Relief Valve or Pressure
Regulator in the circulation system.
3. Place the filter on the concrete pad, lined up with
the inlet and outlet pipes.
4. To reduce pressure losses, 2" (minimum) piping
is recommended for plumbing the system.
Never exceed the manufacturer's maximum
recommended filter flow rates.
5. For best efficiency use the fewest possible number
of fittings. This will prevent a restriction of the water
flow.
6. Make all plumbing connections in accordance with
local plumbing and building codes. Filter unions are
provided with an O-Ring seal. Use silicone based
lubricants on the O-Rings to avoid damage. Do not
use pipe joint compound, glue or solvent on union
threads.
7. Keep piping tight and free of leaks. Pump suction
line leaks may cause air to be entrapped in filter
tank or loss of prime at the pump. Pump discharge
line leaks may show up as equipment pad leaks or
air being discharged through the return lines.

8. Support the inlet/outlet pipes independently to
prevent any undue strains.
9. Place the union nuts over the pipes and clean both
the pipes and union tailpieces with an appropriate
NSF
approved All Purpose cleaner/primer. Glue
®
the pipes to the tailpieces using an appropriate All
Purpose NSF approved adhesive/glue.
NOTE: Zodiac Pool Systems LLC recommends Weld-On 724 PVC
to CPVC Cement to glue Schedule 40 PVC.
10. Drill pilot holes into the equipment pad with a ¼"
masonry bit. Use the holes in the tank bottom base
as a guide.
11. Install ¼ x 2¼" Stainless Steel Tapcon
and tighten.

Locking Ring and Tank Top Assembly
Installation
Follow these instructions carefully.
Improper locking ring installation 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.
1. Be certain the O-Ring is in position in the upper
tank half. Lubricating the O-Ring with a silicone
based lubricant will help with installation. See Fig. 4.
2. Place the tank top assembly on the lower housing
and firmly seat it into position.
3. Locate the removable locking ring and thread
it onto the filter by turning it clockwise until it
engages with the stop tab on the lower half of the
filter tank.
NOTE: Be sure not to cross thread the locking ring onto the tank
body.
