IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., closure, pump, filter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the top closure to separate which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage.
GENERAL INFORMATION THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., Lock Ring, Pump, Filter, Valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to separate which can result in serious injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow the instructions below.
INSTALLATION This filter must be installed by a qualified pool technician in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, servicers, or others and may also cause damage to property. For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers, Control Systems and Automation) Install all electrical controls at the equipment pad, such as ON/OFF switches, timers, control systems, etc.

The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the system is operating, so correct functioning is critical. Replace the pressure gauge (Pentair P/N 190058) if it does not meet the requirements below: 1. Pressure gauge should go to zero (0) when the system is turned off and pressure is relieved.
When to Clean Your Filter Proper operation can prevent avoidable repairs and maintenance. Use the pressure gauge to determine when to clean your Clean and Clear Plus Cartridge Filter for proper ® operation. The pressure reading increases as dirt is filtered from your pool. This buildup of pressure will vary due to different bathing loads, temperature, environmental conditions, etc.
Acid Soaking the Filter Cartridges After an extended period of operation, it may be necessary to soak the cartridges in an acid solution. Acid soaking will remove algae, calcium carbonate, iron and other mineral build-ups from the cartridges.
