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.

General Operation Information
Read and follow all instructions and warnings before
installing or servicing your filter. Proper installation
and operation can prevent unnecessary repairs and
maintenance.
Your filter is a piece of machinery, do not tamper with it,
attempt to disassemble it or otherwise adjust it unless
you fully understand it's operation. Serious injury or
death can occur if the equipment is improperly handled.
Consult a pool service professional for maintenance
and service assistance.
1. The filter operates under pressure and operates in
a safe manner if clamped properly and without air in
the circulating system.
2. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 50
psi. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess
of this amount, even when conducting hydrostatic
pressure tests.
3. Be sure the maximum pressure of the filter system
does not exceed the maximum pressure of any
components within the system during hydrostatic or
external leak tests. Consult the maximum pressure
stated on each component of the system.
4. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how
the filter is operating. Maintain your pressure gauge
in good working order.
5. Clean your filter when pressure reads
approximately 10 psi higher than the "Original
Starting Pressure", or when significant reduction
in flow is noticed. The pressure reading increases
as it filters dirt from your pool. This build up of
pressure will vary due to different bathing loads,
temperature, environmental conditions, etc.
Note: When using a variable speed pump the
"Original Starting Pressure" will be dependent
on the pump speed (RPM) when recording the
original operating pressure. Record the "Original
Pump RPM" in TABLE 1.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Pressure Tests
When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when
testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and
plumbing system, ensure that the Maximum Pressure
that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF
ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN
THE SYSTEM. In most cases, the maximum pressure
will be stated on each component of the system.
If you do not know the pool or spa system operating
pressure, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure
Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system set
to the lowest working pressure of any of the components
in the system.
ORIGINAL STARTING PRESSURE IS: ________ psi.
(pounds per square inch)
SERVICE THE CARTRIDGES AT: __________ psi.
ORIGINAL PUMP RPM: __________ RPM.
