Warnings and safety instructions for Pentair Aquatic System filters and other related products
are available at our website:
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS CRITICAL SAFETY INFORMATION THAT MUST BE PROVIDED
TO THE END USER. FAILURE TO READ AND TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT
!
IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Check carton for any evidence of damage due to rough handling in shipment. If carton or
any filter components are damaged, notify the carrier immediately.
• This filter operates under pressure and if assembled improperly or operated with air in
the water circulation system, the dome or top valve can separate or blowing off, which
may result in an accident causing property damage or serious bodily injury.
• Keep safety labels in good condition and replace if missing or illegible.
• Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor visibility in
your pool. This can result in serious personal injury or drowning as a consequence of
diving into turbid water or on top of obscured objects.
• Please note that a filter removes organic matter and does not sanitize the pool. The pool
water must be sanitized and the water must be balanced for sparkling clear water.
• Filters should never be tested or subjected to air or gas under pressure. All gases are
compressible and constitute a serious hazard when under pressure. Severe injury or
property damage could occur if the filter is subjected to air or gas pressure.
• Operating at excessive vacuum levels can cause the shell to crack and could cause
property damage.
• To prevent damage to the equipment and possible injury, always turn the pump off before
changing the valve position.
• Always visually inspect the filter components during normal servicing to ensure structural
safety. Replace any item that is cracked, deformed or otherwise visually defective.
Defective filter components can allow the filter top or attachments to be blown off and
could cause severe injury or property damage.
• Sidemount: Use care when installing the dome. The dome should turn freely in the filter,
if resistance to insertion of the dome is felt, then slowly remove the dome by turning
counter-clockwise. The starting thread of the tank and the dome must engage properly
in order to close the dome securely. Do not cross-thread the dome. Failure to install the
dome properly can cause the dome to be blown off and could cause severe personal
injury and/or property damage. Never attempt to tighten or loosen the dome while the
pump is running. Failure to follow this instruction can result in the dome blowing off and
causing severe injury and/or property damage. Failure to position the automatic breather
vent correctly inside the dome will allow excessive trapped air to accumulate in the filter.
Trapped air and failure to close the dome properly can cause the dome to be blown off
and could cause severe injury and/or property damage.
• Dome may not come into contact with some grease type of products as these are causing
cracks over time (p 32).
