Keep piping tight and free of leaks: pump suction line
leaks may cause trapped air in filter tank or loss of
prime at pump; pump discharge line leaks may show up
as dampness or jets of water.
Either plug drain fitting with a 2" NPT pipe plug or run
piping from drain fitting to an acceptable waste water
disposal point. Provide plug or valve for wastewater
line.
Valves
Provide isolation valves to allow for easy servicing of filter.
A check valve installed between pool and filter inlet will
prevent contaminants from draining back into pool.
A check valve installed between filter and heater will
prevent hot water from heater from backing up into the
filter and deforming filter elements.
NOTICE: Damaging filter elements through excessive
heat voids the warranty.
Do not use selector valves (i.e., slide or multiport etc.)
with this filter. Filter cannot be backwashed. See Page 6
for cleaning information.
Electrical
BE SURE filter grounding and bonding meets local and
National Electrical Code standards. All wiring, ground-
ing and bonding of associated equipment must meet
local and National Electrical Code standards.
