Sand Filter SFSM | Installation & Operation Manual
®
2.6.2 Filter Location
The filter must be installed on a firm, solid, non-
absorbent level surface; and per the requirements
of local codes and Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ). Filter systems can weigh up to 1,100 lbs.
Use suitably rated mounting surface materials to
avoid risk of settlement, and never use sand to level
the filter as the sand will wash away. Check local
building codes for additional requirements. On the
equipment pad, the filter should be positioned so
that it is:
• At least 6 inches away from walls and/or
landscaping to allow for servicing.
• Not located below any eves, overhangs,
coverings or landscaping that might prevent or
impede the removal of the filter lid and/or the
proper servicing or replacement of the internal
components.
• At least 5 feet away from any electrical controls
or inputs.
• In line, as best as possible, with other equipment
in order to minimize turns in plumbing which can
result in diminished efficiency.

Filter Location Requirements
• Able to safely direct water drainage.
• Accessible for drainage and proper sand
removal.
• Able to purge air and water safely away
from other equipment, electrical controls or
connections.
• Stationary and not subject to movement.
If the filter needs to be located above the water level
of the pool, it can be raised 2.5 ft. without affecting
the pump efficiency. A check valve is recommended
on the suction line to the pump.
If the filter is to be installed below the water level of
the pool, isolation valves should be installed on both
the suction and return lines to prevent back flow of
pool water during any routine servicing that may be
required.
Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can
create an electrical hazard which can cause death, serious injury or
property damage.
