*Pool sizes given as a guide only- in general, a larger filter is better as it has a lower
pressure drop, and requires less maintenance.
Due to excessive cycling, This filter is not suitable for use
on the pressure circuit of inbuilt in-floor cleaning systems.

This filter is designed for use in domestic/residential swimming pool
installations with correctly sanitised fresh or salt chlorinated water.
1. Locate the filter system as close to the pool as practical.
2. Place the filter on a level stable foundation, preferably a concrete pad
or paving.
3. Position all equipment to provide ease of access for future servicing
4. Protect the filter and pump from weather and direct sunlight by ensuring
that they are properly housed.
5. Ensure there is sufficient space to provide adequate ventilation to the
electric pump motor
6. Clean a new pool as well as possible before filing pool and operating filter.
Excess dirt and large particles of foreign matter in the system can cause
serious damage to the filter and pump.
7. Ensure pump is compatible with filter specifications
Filter Application - General Information
6
Hazardous Pressure
Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing
severe injury or property damage. Read and follow instructions
in owner’s manual when installing and operating equipment.
Have a trained pool professional perform all pressure tests.
All glued fittings and pipe work should be allowed to dry to
atmosphere for 24 hours before closing installation. Failure to
do so could cause injury or installation failure.
The filter owner and operator must be provided with this
owner’s manual by the installer. This must be read before
installation and followed during operation. Users not familiar
with pool equipment should seek advice from suitably
qualified persons.
Installation
WARNING
Filter pumps require
hazardous voltage
which can shock, burn,
or cause death.
BEFORE WORKING ON
THE PUMP OR MOTOR:
Disconnect power to
motor.
Hazardous Pressure!
Can cause severe
injury or major property
damage from tank
explosion.
BEFORE WORKING ON
THE FILTER:
1. Stop Pump
2. Release all pressure from
system, by turning valve
handle to waste.
7
Installation of filter should be carried out by qualified personnel.
1. Select the filters location. Ensure that the filter does not restrict the airflow
from the pump’s motor, and ensure that there is enough room above the
filter to enable the cartridge to be removed.
2. Select whether 40mm or 50mm PVC is required. Blank off the one inlet and
one outlet that will not be used with the supplied bungs/reducers.
3. Glue PVC from the pump to the inlet of the filter.
4. If a chlorinator is to be used, glue a PVC line from the filter outlet to the
chlorinator cell. Ensure that a gas trap is installed in accordance with the
chlorinator manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to install a gas trap may
mean that chlorine gas accumulates inside the filter housing, with risk of
explosion or asphyxiation.
5. Ensure cartridge is in place, the lid is properly seated, and the clamp is
securely fastened.
Installation & Assembly of Filter
8
1. Ensure pool is filled to three quarters of the way up the skimmer opening.
2. Open manual air bleed on the lid of the filter, so that the filter fills with
water from the pool. Air will be expelled as it fills. Close the manual air
bleed when it starts to release water.
3. Open all valves and start the pump. Ensure that water is flowing from the
skimmer or other pool outlet and is returning into the pool. Ensure there
are no leaks in the system.
4. Record the startup pressure. This reading will be used to decide when to
clean the cartridge.
5. If you notice a leak around the clamp area after 15-30 minutes of running,
stop the pump. Release system pressure using the manual air bleed, and
remove the lid. Ensure all valves are closed to ensure that the pool water
does not flow out through ther filter housing. Clean the seal area and the
o-ring and replace.

Hazardous pressure to avoid explosion and possible severe
or fatal injury, filter system pressure must not exceed 40psi
(280kPa) under any circumstances. NEVER test this filter
system with compressed air; never operate system with water
temperature above 350C.

OFF before adjusting or opening filter.
Do not add chemicals directly into the pool skimmer. Adding
undiluted chemicals may damage equipment and void
warranty.
1. The filter should require no intervention during operation, except to clean
or replace the cartridge.
2. When the pressure gauge shows a reading 70kPa higher than the startup
reading taken in item (4) above, the cartridge requires cleaning. See below
for cleaning procedure.
3. If the time period between filter cleans gets progressively shorter, it may
be necessary to soak the filter in a proprietary cleaner. See your pool shop
or technician for advice. This is because the build up of debris that cannot
be washed away with normal methods.
