Valve Position And Water Flow Directions - Pentair Cristal-Flo II Installation And User Manual

This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating
system (e.g., clamp, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the
system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid or control
valve to separate which may result in serious injury, death, or property
damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions.
1. Before repositioning valves and before beginning the assembly,
disassembly, or adjustment of the clamp or any other service of the
circulating system:
(a) Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure the system
is not inadvertently started during the servicing;
(b) Open manual air relief valve;
(c) Wait until all pressure is relieved, pressure gauge must read zero (0).
2. Whenever installing the filter clamp, follow the filter valve and clamp
installation instructions exactly.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart
instructions exactly.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts
immediately (e.g., clamp, pressure gauge, relief valve, o-rings, etc.).
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to
instructions provided.
