• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings and system accessories before testing. • Release all air in system before testing. • Tighten Sta-Rite trap lids to 30 ft. lbs. (4.1 kg-cm) torque for testing. • Water pressure for test must be less than 25 PSI (172 kPa).
NEVER operate filter with air trapped inside. • The Sta-Rite modular media filter system is designed to filter water for swim- ming pools and spas. On a new installation, we recommend: 1. Disassemble the filter after the initial cleanup.
• Support pipe independently to prevent strains on filter or pump. • Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings. • For ease of maintenance, use Sta-Rite union couplings to connect the piping to the filter inlet and outlet ports.

When to Clean the Filter The filter module should normally be cleaned when the pressure gauge reading increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure (record the start-up pressure under “Owner’s Information”, Page 3). In some pools, accessories such as foun- tains or pool cleaners may be noticeably affected by the normal decrease in flow as the filter becomes dirty.
NOTICE The filter outlet piping will not empty through the filter drain. Make sure that the outlet piping has a separate drain for winterizing. SYSTEM INSPECTION General: Wash the outside of the filter with a mild detergent and water. Rinse off with a hose.
