Pump and DE Element Filter System Installation and User’s Guide

Most states and local codes regulate the construction, installation, and

operation of public pools and spas, and the construction of residential pools

and spas. It is important to comply with these codes, many of which directly regulate the

installation and use of this product. Consult your local building and health codes for more

information.

SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT IF THIS PUMP

AND DE ELEMENT FILTER ARE NOT INSTALLED AND USED

CORRECTLY.

INSTALLERS, POOL OPERATORS AND POOL OWNERS MUST

READ THESE WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

USING THIS PUMP AND DE ELEMENT FILTER.

Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices

and instructions in this Guide. Failure to follow warnings and instructions

can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free

copies of these instructions. Please refer to www.pentair.com for more information related to

these products.

Water temperature in excess of 100° F (37.7° C) may be hazardous to your

health. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a

level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F (37° C.).

Effects of hyperthermia include: (1) Unawareness of impending danger. (2)

Failure to perceive heat. (3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. (4)

Physical inability to exit the spa. (5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. (6)

Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. The use of alcohol, drugs, or

medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and

spas.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use or operate this

pump and DE element filter.

When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must

consider local codes governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.

DO NOT increase pump size; this may increase the flow rate through the

system and exceed the maximum flow rate stated on the drain cover.

If this pump and DE element filter is intended for use in other than single-

family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency switch shall be provided as part

of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to the occupants and

shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to, and within sight of,

this pump and DE element filter system.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Attention Installer: This Installation and User’s Guide

(“Guide”) contains important information about the installation, operation and safe

use of this pump and DE element filter. This Guide should be given to the owner and/

or operator of this equipment.

This pump and DE element filter system is intended for use in swimming

pool applications.

WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Pump and DE Element Filter System Installation and User’s Guide

A pool or spa pump must be installed by a qualified pool and spa

service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all

applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation may create an electrical hazard which

could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and

may also cause damage to property.

WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

High Pressure from the DE element filter can cause severe injury or

major property damage due to tank separation.

Release all pressure and read instructions before working on the

DE element filter. If the filter lock ring is adjusted under pressure,

the tank can separate, causing serious injury or major property

damage.

Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in applications other

than for which the pump was intended can result in serious personal injury or

death. These risks may include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction

entrapment or serious injury or property damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or

other system component.

Never exceed the maximum stated pump flow rating.

Only use a pumping system rated for the corresponding flow. FAILURE TO DO SO

CAN RESULT IN HAIR OR BODY ENTRAPMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. If in doubt about the rating of your system, consult

a qualified pool service professional.

Pumps are not a substitute for properly installed and secured pool drain

covers. An ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment drain

cover must be used for each drain. Pools and spas should utilize a minimum of two drains

per pump. Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering. If

a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa

immediately, shut off the pump, post a notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an

appropriate VGB 2008 certified cover is properly installed. Covers deteriorate over time

due to exposure to sunlight and pool chemicals. This cover must be replaced within

seven (7) years from installation (or earlier if the cover becomes damaged in any way).

BEFORE WORKING ON FILTER!

(1) Stop pump.

(2) Open air release valve.

(3) Release all pressure from system.

PUMPS REQUIRE HIGH VOLTAGE WHICH CAN SHOCK,

BURN, OR CAUSE DEATH.

BEFORE WORKING ON PUMP!

Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the

circuit breaker from the pump before servicing the

pump. Failure to do so could result in death or

serious injury to service person, pool users or

others due to electric shock.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION:

Pump and DE Element Filter System Installation and User’s Guide

WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Hair Entanglement – When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping

the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the flow rating of the cover

is too small for the pump or pumps.

Limb Entrapment – When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting

in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when a drain cover is

missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.

Body Entrapment – When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover

trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the drain cover is

missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps.

Evisceration/Disembowelment – When a person sits on an open pool

(particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly to the

intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the

drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.

Mechanical Entrapment – When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or

knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present

when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.

SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD

Pool and spa pumps move large volumes of water, which can pose extreme danger

if a person’s hair comes in close proximity to a drain that is not the proper size for the

pump or pumps.

Pump and DE Element Filter System Installation and User’s Guide

Section 1

Pump and DE Element Filter Overview

This system operates under pressure and if assembled improperly or operated

with air in the water circulation system it can separate and result in an accident

causing serious bodily injury. A warning label has been affixed to the filter and

should not be removed. Keep safety labels in good condition and replace if

missing or illegible. (For free labels call, (919)-774-4151). Pumps and filters

should never be tested or subjected to air or gas under pressure. All gases are

compressible and under pressure create a danger. Serious bodily injury or

property damage could occur if the pump or filter is subjected to air or gas

pressure.

The system consists primarily of a centrifugal pump, a DE element filter, a

connecting hose and a mounting base. Your centrifugal pump is driven by an

electric motor. The motor is directly attached to the pump impeller. As the

electric motor turns it causes the water to flow. The water flows into the hair

and lint pot inlet and through the basket assembly to pre-strain large particles.

The flow then enters the center of the pump housing. The flow goes through

the impeller into the stationary diffuser, out the pump discharge port, through

the connecting hose and into the filter inlet port at the bottom of the filter. The

water is distributed evenly across the DE filter element. The dirt is removed

by the element and the clean water flows through the outlet port at the bottom

of the tank. The clean water then returns to the pool through the piping or

hoses.

After a period of time, dirt will accumulate in the filter element causing a

resistance to the flow of water through the filter. This resistance results in a

diminished flow of water and a rise in the pressure of the filter. Eventually the

filter element will have removed so much dirt and the filter pressure risen to such

a point that it will be necessary to clean your filter.

The function of the filter is to remove suspended matter from the water. It does

not sanitize the water. For sparkling clear water, the water must be sanitized as

well as chemically balanced. Pool chemistry is a specialized area, please consult

your local pool specialist for specific details. In general, proper pool sanitation

requires a free chlorine level of 2 to 4 ppm and a pH range of 7.2 to 7.8. Your

filtration system should be designed to meet your local health codes. As a

minimum, you must be sure that your system will turn over the total volume of

water in your pool at least twice in a 24 hour period.

Pump and DE Element Filter System Installation and User’s Guide

Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate

filtration can cause poor water clarity obstructing visibility

in your pool and can allow diving into or on top of obscured objects, which

can cause serious personal injury or drowning.

This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating

system (e.g., clamp, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the

system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid or lock

ring to separate which may result in serious injury, death, or property

damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions.

1. Before the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the lid or lock ring or

any other service of the circulating system:

(a) Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure the system

is not inadvertently started during the servicing;

(b) Open manual air relief valve;

2. Whenever installing the filter lock ring, follow the filter lid and lock ring

installation instructions exactly.

3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart

instructions exactly.

4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts

immediately (e.g., lock ring, pressure gauge, relief valve, o-rings, etc.).

5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to

instructions provided.

1. Read and understand all instructions before attempting to install,

operate or maintain your pump and DE filter system.

2. Provide space and lighting for routine maintenance access. Locate the

system close to the pool. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches,

timers, control systems, etc.) at least five (5) feet from the filter. This will

allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during system start up.

Systems that are unassembled should be assembled at this point. See

special instructions A through P.

A. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches to the pump are switched

off, and disconnect the communication cable from the pump before

installing the base.

B. Remove all individual components from carton and inspect for any visible

damage. If carton or parts are damaged contact seller or freight

company.

C. Place the system support base on the ground close to the final location of

the unit. See Figure 1.

Section 2

Pump and DE Element Filter System Installation and User’s Guide

D. Place the filter tank foot on the filter end of the system base.

E. Position the filter tank foot so that the filter tank inlet faces the pump end

of the system base. See Figure 2.

F. The system base provides screw holes that align with the screw holes in

the foot of the filter tank. See Figure 3.

G. Remove the filter from the base.

H. Hand seat the ¼-20 brass inserts (larger inserts) into the identified holes in

the systems base. See Figure 4.

I. Using a flat-head screw driver, drive the ¼-20 brass inserts into the holes

in the system base. Note: The blade of the screw driver must be wide

enough to catch both slots in the end of the insert. See Figure 5.
