____WARNING ELECTROCUTION HAZARD High Voltage electricity is present in the pool and spa equipment. High voltage electricity can cause shock and electrocution. Shock and electrocution can result in severe personal injury or death. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes and regulations.
5. GENERAL INFORMATION The ‘Cartridge Filter’ combines superior water filtration with ease of operation and totally corrosion-resistant construction. With filtration ratings to 34,000 liters (9000 gallons ) per hour, they are designed for continuous or intermittent operation, for installation above or below the pool water line, for fresh or salt water swimming pools or spa’s.
Clamp Nut to Clamp Bolt to 17Nm (150 inch-lbs). (See Fig 5) Verify that the Filter Manual Air Relief Body is in the LOCK position, and no filter components are missing, damaged or not genuine DuraTech components. (See Fig 4) Close filter drain.
5.2.2 Starting The Pump When starting system pump, do not stand over or near filter. If water leakage appears at filter tank clamp, immediately turn off all system circulation pumps and all electrical power. Do not return to the filter until all water leakage has stopped. Reassemble the Clamp System per the instructions on page 17 in this manual to stop leak.
6. OPERATION 6.1 FILTERING ____WARNING Filtration starts as soon as flow is steady through the filter. As the filter removes dirt from the pool water, the accumulated dirt causes a resistance to flow. As a result, the gauge pressure will rise and the flow will decrease. When the pressure rises between 0,49 - 0,69 bar (7 and 10 psi) above the starting pressure, or when the flow decreases below the desired rate, clean or replace the filter cartridge elements.
6.2 MAINTAINING YOUR FILTER ____This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional. ____WARNING 6.2.1 Filter Disassembly Instructions Turn off all system circulation pumps and all electric power on the equipment pad. Set all system valves in a position to prevent water flow to the filter. The Manual Air Relief Valve must be placed in the OPEN position.
6.2.2 Removing The Cartridges Remove the top Manifold, which is exposed when the upper Filter Body is removed. (See Fig 3) Remove the Filter Cartridge Elements by using slight rocking motion and lifting up. Clean Filter Cartridge Elements. 6.2.3 Cleaning The Cartridges The Cartridge Filter Element can be cleaned by washing inside and outside with a garden hose.

6.3.3 Body and Clamp Re-Assembly Reposition the Upper Filter Body on the Lower Filter Body and press down the Upper Filter Body against the sealing. Verify that there is an even gap between the Lower and Upper Filter Body. If the gap is not even, then reposition the Upper Filter Body again.
7. THE MANUAL AIR RELIEF VALVE 7.1 REMOVING THE MANUAL AIR RELIEF VALVE ____This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional. ____WARNING Your Filter comes with a Manual Air Relief Valve (MAR) preinstalled rom the factory. For Qualified pool professionals only: If MAR valve needs to be serviced, follow these instructions carefully.
8. WINTERIZING FILTER ____This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional. ____WARNING ____In areas where subfreezing temperatures can be expected, the filter should be ____drained to protect the filter from damage. The filter should be disassembled and the Filter Cartridges Elements cleaned or replaced.
9.4 LEAKING OF THE CLAMP Follow the Filter Disassembly Instructions. (See Chapter: 6.2.1 - Page 15) Clean the Sealing Ring and Seal Surface. (See Chapter: 6.3.2 - Page 16) Verify for any damages to the Sealing Surface of the Upper and Lower Filter Body and the O-Ring.
