Warns about hazard that CAN cause serious personal injury and

property damage if ignored.

(For cord and plug connected units.) Do not bury cord. Locate

cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and

other lawn equipment.

(For cord and plug connected units) To reduce the risk of electric

shock, replace damaged cord immediately.

(For cord and plug connected units.) Risk of electric shock.

Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a

ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified

electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by

a GFCI.

(For cord and plug connected units) To reduce the risk of electric

shock, do not use an extension cord to connect unit to electric

supply; provide a properly located outlet.

To guard against low voltage which can damage the pump motor,

use minimum wire gauge shown below:

If filter Ring-Lok is removed or adjusted under pressure the filter

cover may blow off, causing injury or property damage.

Electrical Data:

Refer to information on motor nameplate for electrical

service data. If the pump on your system is supplied

with a 3-prong twist lock 115V plug, then the appro-

priate female receptacle should be installed. For

systems with a standard 3-prong 115V plug, we

recommend a grounded receptacle be installed with

a built-in ground fault circuit interrupter having a

fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker and wire

size large enough for pump horsepower and distance

from power source. Wiring should be done in accor-

dance with applicable codes by a competent electri-

cian.

Setting up your system:

Step 1

Install threaded end of interconnect pipe into

the filter “INLET.” Tighten until O-ring seals

against filter.

NOTE: Be sure union nut is placed on inter-

connect pipe before it is threaded into filter.

Threads on union nut should face away from

the filter.

Step 2

Place filter on base in upright position with

interconnect pipe facing the pump position.

Press firmly down on filter, pushing it down

into base.

Step 3

Be sure that O-ring is firmly seated in O-ring

groove in the end of interconnect pipe.

O-Ring

Setting up your system:

Step 4

Push the grommet nuts into the pre-drilled

holes in the system base. Use the illustration

at the right to ensure the correct holes are

used. Position the pump on the base and

connect the union nut on the interconnect

pipe to the pump discharge and hand tighten

only. Install the supplied pump bolts into the

grommet nuts to secure the pump to the base.

TIP: Do not fully tighten pump bolts until

system set-up is complete.

NOTE: Some systems come with grommet

nuts, or equivalent, factory installed.

Step 5

Be certain that the filter cover is pushed

completely down and the Ring-Lok nut is

tightened to the “built-in stops” and yellow

safety latch is engaged.

If the Ring-Lok nut is not

tightened so yellow safety

latch is engaged, the filter

cover may blow off causing

injury or property damage.

Step 6

Carefully install the pressure gauge into the

filter cover after wrapping the brass threads

with 4 wraps of teflon tape (Note: Some

gauges have teflon tape factory installed.)

TIP: Install pressure gauge only hand tight

plus 1/4 turn.

Typical above-ground pool connection:

System startup:

CAUTION:

Water acts as a coolant for the seal. Do not operate your pump until it has been

filled with water (primed).

IMPORTANT: This filter is a diatomaceous earth (D.E.) type filter and requires D.E. in order to

operate. DO NOT OPERATE FILTER WITHOUT D.E.

Step 1

Open the air bleed valve on top of the filter to

allow captured air to escape. When a steady

stream of water appears, close valve.

NOTE: If optional shut-off valves are installed

be sure that both valves are fully opened.

Step 2

Mix diatomaceous earth in a bucket of water.

See Chart for appropriate amounts. The D.E.

scoop this is supplied with your system

should be used for measuring. Set bucket of

D.E. mixture aside.

Step 3

Turn the motor on by plugging the unit into a

grounded electrical receptacle.

Air bleed valve

For above-ground pools with system below

the pool water level.

The use of an extension cord may

result in a severe voltage drop which

could cause damage or shorten the

service life of your pump motor.

Step 4

Open air bleed valve to release any additional

trapped air. When a steady stream of water

appears, close the valve.

Step 5

Pour D.E. mixture into pool skimmer slowly to

allow D.E. to be pumped into the filter for

coating. Allow 3-5 minutes for grids to coat

sufficiently.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate filter for

extended periods without D.E.

Step 6

The filter is equipped with a pressure gauge

to assist in determining when the filter grid

cassette should be cleaned. Note the gauge

reading when filter is started up, “CLEAN.”As

the filter becomes dirty, the needle will move

to the right. When the needle has moved 10

psi above the “CLEAN” reading, regenerate

the D.E. (see FILTER REGENERATION pages

9-10.)

System startup:

NOTE: Regeneration of the D.E. filter is done to extend the filter cycle before

cleaning of the grid cassette becomes necessary. If a 10 p.s.i. increase is indi-

cated by the filter pressure gauge, follow the filter regeneration steps below.

If filter Ring-Lok is removed or adjusted under pressure, the filter cover

may blow off, causing injury or major property damage.

Step 1

Unplug the pump cord. However, if the system

has not been operating, plug pump cord into

3-prong grounded electrical receptacle, allow

to run for 5 to 8 minutes, then unplug pump

cord.

NOTE: Do not attempt to regenerate filter

while pump is running.

Step 2

Grasp wiper handle on top of filter. D.E. cake

may prevent easy up and down movement of

wiper plates. To dislodge the D.E. cake, pump

the handle up and down until it moves freely.

Several pumps may be necessary to initiate

any movement of the regenerative system.

Filter regeneration:

Step 3

When full stroke is obtained, slowly move

handle up and down 4 to 5 times, then return

wiper blades to bottom position of stroke.

Step 4

Plug pump into 3 prong grounded electrical

receptacle. Note pressure reading. If pressure

gauge reading increases 10 p.s.i. within 72

hours, grid cassette must be cleaned. Follow

“cleaning the D.E. grid cassette,” instructions

on page 13-20.
