Section 1. Important Safety Instructions

• To minimize risk of severe injury or death, the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping
pressurization test. Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These
requirements are generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment such as filters or pumps. Polaris pool
equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
If however, this WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include the filter
and/or pump BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, locking devices and system accessories to ensure they are properly installed
and secured before testing.
• RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing.
• Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI
• Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 100°F (38°C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
NOTICE: These parameters apply only to Polaris equipment. For non-Polaris equipment, consult the equipment
manufacturer.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, which can result in serious injury or death:
• Ensure that all electrical to the system is turned off before approaching, inspecting or troubleshooting any
leaking valves or plumbing that may have caused other electrical devices in the surrounding area to get wet.
• Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard which can
cause death, serious injury or property damage.
• Improper dial valve installation can cause product failure or also cause the filter dial to be blown off, which
can result in death, serious personal injury or property damage.
• Never attempt to adjust or remove the dial valve when the pump is running or there is pressure in the
system. This can cause product failure or also cause the filter dial to be blown off, which can result in death,
serious personal injury or property damage.
• Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the
filter is operating.
• Creating high vacuum levels can cause the tank vessel to crack and leak with the potential for property
damage.
• Be sure that all provisions for waste water disposal meet local, provincial or national codes. During any
backwash or draining process, 100 gallons or more of water will be discharged. Do not discharge water
where it will cause flooding or damage.
• To avoid damaging the laterals (spokes), slowly add the filter media until the laterals are fully covered.
Consult Installation and Operation Manual for complete sand filling instructions cracked or broken laterals
(spokes) will cause sand to be discharged to the pool.
Attention installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and
safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner/operator of this equipment.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE OF THE FILTER IS 35 PSI. NEVER SUBJECT
THE FILTER TO ANY OPERATING PRESSURE EXCEEDING 35 PSI
• Do not connect the system to an unregulated city water system or other external
source of pressurized water producing pressures greater than 35 PSI.
• This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system,
i.e., filter, pump, valve(s), etc. is serviced, air can enter the system and become
pressurized when the system is restarted.
• Pressurized air in a system can cause product failure or also cause the dial valve to
be blown off which can result in death, serious personal injury or property damage.
