Tagelus
Introduction
The following general information describes how to install the Tagelus
and if assembled improperly or operated with air in the water circulation system, it can separate and result in an
accident causing property damage or serious bodily injury. A warning label has been affixed to the top of the filter and
should not be removed. Keep safety labels in good condition and replace if missing or illegible.

How your Tagelus
Filter works
Your high rate sand filter is designed to operate for years with a minimum of maintenance and when installed,
operated and maintained in accordance with these instructions, it will provide years of trouble free operation.
Dirt is collected in the filter as the water flows through the control valve at the top of the filter and is directed
downward onto the top surface of the filter sand bed. The dirt is collected in the sand bed and the clean water flows
through the lower piping at the bottom of the filter up through the center pipe into the control valve at the top of the
filter. Clean water then returns through the piping system into the pool.
The pressure will rise and the flow to the pool will be lowered as the dirt is collected in the filter. Eventually, the filter will
become so plugged with dirt that it will be necessary to perform the backwash procedure. It is important to know when
to backwash the filter. Backwashing is discussed further under the subsequent sections of this guide.
Please note that a filter removes suspended matter and does not sanitize the pool. The pool water must be sanitized
and the water must be chemically balanced for sparkling clear water. Your filtration system should be designed to
meet your local health codes. As a minimum, you must be sure that your system will turn over the total volume of
water in your pool at least twice in a twenty-four hour period.

WARNING — Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity obstructing
visibility in your pool and can allow diving into or on top of obscured objects which can cause serious
personal injury or drowning.
Clear water is the result of proper filtration as well as proper water chemistry. Pool chemistry is a specialized area and
you should consult your local pool service specialist for specific details. In general, proper pool sanitation requires a
free chlorine level of 1 to 2 PPM and a pH range of 7.2 to 7.6.
