THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE
When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., closure, pump, filter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air can enter the system
and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the top closure to separate which can result in severe injury, death,
or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions:
1. Let air and pressure out of system before and after servicing.
2. Install lid and clamp ring properly.
3. Maintain circulation system properly to help prevent air entering the system.
4. Verify that the return line to the pool is unobstructed. Ensure return valves are open and any winterizing
Your filter is a piece of machinery, do not tamper with it, attempt to disassemble it or otherwise adjust it unless you fully
understand it's operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the equipment is improperly handled. Consult a pool
service professional for maintenance and service assistance.
Always disconnect power to the pool circulating system at the circuit breaker before servicing the filter. Ensure that
the disconnected circuit is locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be switched on while you are working on the
filter. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
