7. Remove O-ring from upper tank shell. Inspect for
cuts, cracking, deformation or signs of wear; replace
if necessary.
NOTICE: To avoid strain or damage, allow filter mod-
ule to drain before lifting it out of the tank.
SAFETY LATCH (See Figure 7)
The purpose of the safety latch is to hold the Posi-Lok™
ring in the locked position. If the latch is damaged, re-
When to Clean the Filter
The filter module should normally be cleaned when the pressure
gauge reading increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure
(record the start-up pressure under "Owner's Information", Page
3).
In some pools, accessories such as fountains or pool cleaners
may be noticeably affected by the normal decrease 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.
place it as follows:
1. Press down on the small catch behind the safety latch
and press or tap the latch out of the "Tee" slot in the
tank (see Figure 7).
2. Snap the new latch into position.
NOTICE: DO NOT operate the filter if the safety latch
is damaged or will not hold the Posi-Lok™ ring in the
locked position.
Assembly:
1. Inspect and clean the tank, ring threads and O-ring
groove. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
2. Install the filter by placing the port in the bottom of the
filter cartridge over the tank outlet port. Push down
firmly to seal.
3. Ensure that the air bleed assembly on top of the mod-
ule is clean and properly mounted.
NOTICE: Lubricate O-ring only with the silicone
grease provided or equivalent, as other lubricants
may cause the ring to swell. DO NOT lubricate Posi-
Lok™ ring or threads on lower tank shell as this may
collect grit and make removal difficult.
4. Install the O-ring in the upper tank shell O-ring
groove. Be sure that the
O-ring is clean and not twisted.
5. Push the upper tank shell into the lower tank shell to
compress the O-ring.
6. Place the Posi-Lok™ ring squarely over the tank
shell threads and rotate COUNTERCLOCKWISE
until the ring falls into the slots; then rotate CLOCK-
WISE until securely latched.
7. Follow instructions in the "Initial Startup" section of
this manual.
MODULE CLEANING PRO-
CEDURE
Risk of chemical burns. Do not attempt to
acid clean the filter or module. If the filter re-
quires acid cleaning, have a trained pool professional do
the job.
Follow all steps in the "Disassembly" section of this man-
ual.
The filter module should be removed and cleaned when
pressure rises more than 10 psi (69 kPa) above startup
pressure. See also "When to Clean the Filter," below.
NOTICE: Do not expose the filter module to sunlight for
any extended period of time.
NOTICE: When sanitizing your pool using PHMB (poly-
hexamethylene biquanide based) cleaners, use only
PHMB cleaners to clean the module. When using PHMB
sanitizers, the filter module MUST be cleaned more thor-
oughly and frequently than for a pool using chlorine.
Follow manufacturer's instructions carefully. Use of any
other type of cleansers with PHMB pool sanitizers will
void the filter's warranty.
NOTICE: Avoid washing filter debris into the outlet port.
Remove drain plug and flush foreign material from inside
of tank before removing filter module.
1. With a hose equipped with a soft flow nozzle, wash as
much dirt as possible off of the filter module while it is
still inside the tank. Allow tank to drain completely.
2. Make sure that
the inside of the
tank is clean.

3. Inspect the
module. If necessary, repeat the washing operation. If
the module is damaged, replace it.
NOTICE: If this cleaning method does not remove all
deposits, see "Special Cleaning Instructions" section
in this manual.
4. Inspect and clean air bleed filter at top of module.
5. Follow all steps in the "Assembly" and "Initial Startup"
sections of this manual.
