This filter 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 pressur-
ized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to be blown off which can result in severe injury,
death, or property damage.
6.
Thread the pump connector, see Figure 2, into the inlet port of the filter, see Figure 3, hand tighten
with an additional 1/2 turn using a wrench until the end of the connector with the union nut is fac-
ing down.
7.
Install the O-ring, see Figure 4, into the groove of the pump connector end.
8.
Thread the pump connector, see Figure 2a, into the pump outlet port, hand tighten with an addi-
tional 1/2 turn using a wrench.

Attach the filter and pump connector assemblies together. This is an O-ring seal and requires hand
tightening only.
10. Screw in the hose adapters into the filter outlet port and the pump suction port, hand tighten an
additional 1/2 turn with a wrench.
11. Slide the clamps over the ends of the hoses. Slide the hoses over the hose adapters and tighten
clamps.
12. Attach the opposite ends of the hoses, see Figure 5, to the skimmer suction port and the pool's
return inlet fitting port and tighten clamps.
Do not mount electrical controls (on/off switches, timer, etc.) over the filter. You need to be able to stand
clear of the filter when starting the pump.
Never install a pump in this system that exceeds the maximum pressure of this filter (see filter data
label).
