• Release all air in system before testing. Hazardous Pressure! • Tighten Sta-Rite pump trap lids to 30 ft. lbs. (4.1 kg-cm) torque for testing. Can cause tank • Water pressure for test must be less than 25 PSI (172 kPa).
NEVER operate filter with air trapped inside. When to Clean the Filter • The Sta-Rite modular media filter is designed to filter water for swimming pools and spas. On a new installation, we recommend: The filter module should normally be cleaned when the pressure gauge reading 1.

After you have piped the inlet and drain, apply the ‘inlet’ decal to the port to which you have run the inlet piping. • For ease of maintenance, use Sta-Rite union couplings to connect the piping to the filter inlet and outlet ports.
INITIAL START-UP Be sure pump is OFF before starting procedure. Do not operate these filters at more than 50 PSI (345 kPa) under any circumstances! 1. Securely lock Posi-Lok™ ring in place by rotating ring CLOCKWISE until it “clicks” past the safety latch (see Figure 3). Stop turning as soon as the ring clicks past the latch.
NOTICE: Make sure that waste water disposal complies with local codes and ordinances. 4. Remove drain plug and drain all water from tank. 5. Remove Posi-Lok™ ring as follows: a. Press safety latch (below the ring) toward the tank to release it (see Figure 4).
Risk of chemical burns. Do not attempt to acid clean the filter or module. If the filter requires acid cleaning, have a trained pool professional do the job. NOTICE: When sanitizing your pool using PHMB (polyhexamethylene bi- quanide based) cleaners, use only PHMB cleaners to clean the module. When using PHMB sanitizers, the filter module MUST be cleaned more thoroughly and frequently than for a pool using chlorine.
SYSTEM INSPECTION General: Wash the outside of the filter with a mild detergent and water. Rinse off with a hose. NOTICE: DO NOT use solvents to clean the filter; solvents may damage plas- tic components in the system. NOTICE: Open the air bleed valve and bleed all air from the filter each time the pump is stopped and restarted.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. Short Cycle Time: C. Excessive air in filter. Vent air from tank and check for pump suction pipe leaks. Clean air bleed filter NOTICE: CycleTime will vary with each installation in module assembly with a hose and soft flow and between different areas of the country.
