Cartridge filters are equipped with two inlet ports marked 'INLET'. Select the
inlet port most suitable for the installation and plug the other inlet port with
blanking cap provided. Using quick connect couplings, connect the pool pump
delivery piping to the selected inlet port couplings, connect the pool pump
delivery piping to the selected inlet port. Tighten by hand only. Ensure the
o'ring lubricant and in the correct position.
2) Filter to pool return
Using quick connect couplings, connect the pool return piping to the filter fitting
marked 'OUTLET'. Tighten the fitting by hand only. Ensure the o'ring on the
fitting is clean, lubricated with o'ring lubricant and in the correct position. The
filter base is provided with four mounting holes to enable it to be secured, if
required.
FILTER OPERATION
1) Make sure the pump is primed according to manufacture's directions.
2) Be sure all valves are open on suction and discharge lines. Ensure the air
bleed valve on the filter lid is open and the lid lock ring is in place and secure.
3) Start the pump. Close the air bleed valve when water is expelled.
4) To determine the correct operating conditions with a clean filter, check that
the pressure gauge reading is 180kpa or below.
5) Record the pressure gauge reading or mark the needle position on the
face of the pressure gauge.
6) Operate the filter for a sufficient time to circulate the total pool water volume
daily. The filter should also be operated at all times the pool is in use and for
about one hour afterward. During winter, the running time may be reduced.
Filter operating requirements will vary for spa applications. Depending on the
system design, type, and size of the spa. Consult your builder or spa supplier.
7) When the pressure gauge reading is 180-230kpa higher than the 'clean
filter' reading as in (4) above, it is time to clean the cartridge element(see'
Cartridge Cleaning Procedure).
