INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
The filter should be placed in its permanent location, preferably as close to the
pool or spa as practicable. Position the filter tank and pump on a level concrete
slab or similar base. Allow sufficient space around the filter for routine
maintenance and provide for adequate ventilation and drainage. Place the
pump in position on the slab and locate the filter alongside the appropriate
pump inlet connection orientated towards the pump. Refer to the
'Specifications' section for the minimum clearance measurements required for
each model.
WEATHER PROTECTION
Cartridge filters are constructed of corrosion-resistant materials. However, to
ensure years of reliable performance, it is recommended that the filtration
system be adequately protected from the weather.
ASSEMBLY
Assemble the pressure gauge to the filter lid using Teflon tape on the male
thread. Do not over-tighten.
PIPE CONNECTIONS
Piping should be supported independently and not impose heavy loads on the
filter or pump. Use 40mm or 50mm PVC pipe for pump and pool return lines.
50mm should always be used if length of piping is over 15mm. Cartridge filters
are supplied with quick connect couplings suitable for 40mm L.D.PVC pipe or
50mm O.D fittings.if the pump and filter are located below pool water level, it is
necessary to fit isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and the pool,
and in the return line from the filter to the pool.
