SECTION I. PUMP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless

they are closely supervised at all times.

3. WARNING - Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected

by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot veri-

fy that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.

4. Do not bury the electrical cord. Locate the cord to minimize the abuse from lawn mowers,

hedgetrimmers, and other equipment.

5. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.

6. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use an extension cord to connect

unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.

7. CAUTION - For continued protection against possible electric shock, this unit is to be mount-

ed to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.

8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

P/N 99226200 2 REV.C4-3-12WARNING

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, only connect to a GFCI protected receptacle. Failure to do so

could result in an electrical shock to pool users, installers, or others which can result in serious

personal injuryor death.

SECTION II. HOW YOUR FILTER WORKS

Your cellular media filter is designed to produce clear, sparkling water and operate for years with a mini-

mum of maintenance when installed, operated and maintained in accordance with these instructions.

Your filter uses a cellular media cartridge element to remove dirt particles from the water. Dirt is collected

in the filter bythe cellular media element as water flows through the filter. Water enters the filter through

the filter inlet port and is distributed evenly through the cellular media element. The dirt is removed by the

cellular media fabric and the clean water flows through the filter outlet port and is returned to the pool

through the piping or hoses.

After a period of time, dirt will accumulate in the filter 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 filter pressure. Eventually

the filter will have removed so much dirt and the filter pressure risen to such a point that it will be neces-

sary to clean your filter, see Section V, Cleaning the Filter.

REV.C4-3-123

WARNING

THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE

CIRCULATING SYSTEM (e.g., LOCK RING, PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC.) IS

SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED.

PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE THE LID TO BE BLOWN OFF WHICH CAN RESULT IN

SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL

HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. BEFORE REPOSITIONING VALVES AND BEFORE BEGINNING THE ASSEMBLY,

DISASSEMBLY, OR ADJUSTMENT OF THE 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 AIR RELIEF VALVE; (C) WAIT

UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS RELIEVED.

2. WHENEVER INSTALLING THE FILTER LOCK RING FOLLOW THE CLEANING

FILTER INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

3. ONCE SERVICE ON THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM IS COMPLETE FOLLOW

INITIAL START-UP AND 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.

The filter’s function is to remove suspended matter from the water, but it does not sanitize the water. For

sparkling clear water, the water must be sanitized as well as balanced. Pool chemistry is a specialized area,

and you should consult your local pool service specialist for specific details. In general, proper pool sanita-

tion requires a free chlorine level of 1 to 2 PPM and a PH range of 7.2 to 7.6.

P/N 99226200 4 REV.C4-3-12WARNING

Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity, obstructing

visibility in your pool. Poor water clarity may obscure objects in the water which, while swimming and

diving, could cause severepersonal injury and death. Never swim in a pool with poor water clarity.

SECTION III. INSTALLATION

To install this filter system, you will need the follow-

ing tools - a screwdriver, wrench, and pliers.

(Refer to photo on front page for completed

assembly)

1. Carefully remove the equipment from the

carton and check for any evidence of damage

due to rough handling or shipping. If any of

the equipment is damaged, immediately noti-

fy the organization where the equipment was

purchased.

2. This filter should be mounted on a level con-

crete slab, or on a platform constructed of

concrete block or brick.

3. Position the mounting base on the slab so

when the pump is mounted, the front (suction

port) of the pump is directly in-line with the

skimmer suction portfrom the pool.

4. Once the pump location is determined, fasten

the pump to the base using twobolts and

retaining nuts.

5. Add three complete wraps of SOXPEHUVtape to

the threads of the hose adapters, see Figure 1,

and the threaded ends of the pump connector,

see Figure 2 and 2A. The tape isincluded in

the kit.

REV.C4-3-125

6. Thread the pump connector, see Figure 2, into the inlet port of the filter, see Figure 3, hand tighten

with an additional 1/2 turn using a wrench until the end of the connector with the union nut is fac-

ing down.

7. Install the O-ring, see Figure 4, into the groove of the pump connector end.

8. Thread the pump connector, see Figure 2a, into the pump outlet port, hand tighten with an addi-

tional 1/2 turn using a wrench.

9. Attach the filter and pump connector assemblies together. This is an O-ring seal and requires hand

tightening only.

10. Screw in the hose adapters into the filter outlet port and the pump suction port, hand tighten an

additional 1/2 turn with a wrench.

11. Slide the clamps over the ends of the hoses. Slide the hoses over the hose adapters and tighten

clamps.

12. Attach the opposite ends of the hoses, see Figure 5, to the skimmer suction port and the pool’s

return inlet fitting port and tighten clamps.

WARNING

This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., lock

ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressur-

ized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to be blown off which can result in severe injury,

death, or property damage.

CAUTION

Do not mount electrical controls (on/offswitches, timer,etc.) over the filter. You need to be able to stand

clear of the filter when starting the pump.

Never install a pump in this system that exceeds the maximum pressure of this filter (see filter data

label).

SECTION IV. INITIAL START-UP AND RESTART INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure all connections have been made and are secure.

2. OPEN THE AIR RELIEF V

ALVE.

3. STAND CLEAR OF THE FILTER. Start pump allowing the filter tank to fill with water. Close the

air relief valve after a steady stream of water appears.

4. Your filter has now started its filter cycle. You should check that the water is returning to the pool.

5. Check the system for water leaks. If a leak is found, shut off pump before correcting the leak.

6. As the filter removes the dirt and impurities from the pool water, the accumulation will cause the

filter flow to diminish. It is then time to clean the filter’s cellular media elements, see Section V,

Cleaning the Filter.

P/N 99226200 6 REV.C4-3-12WARNING

Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity, obstructing

visibility in your pool. Poor water clarity may obscure objects in the water which, while swimming and

diving, could cause severe personal injury and death. Never swim in a pool with poor water clarity.

SECTION V. CLEANING THE FILTER

1. Cleaning frequency will vary from pool to pool and with other factors such as weather conditions,

heavy rains, dust, pollen, bather load and water chemistry.

2. Turn the pump off, shut off any automatic controls to assure that the system is not inadvertently

started during servicing.

3. Plug the skimmer port and water return port with a rag. This will prevent water from the pool from

running out while servicing.

4. Open the filter air relief valve, and the filter drain plug.

5. Disconnect the pump connector from the pump.

6. Unscrew the locking ring (turning counter-clockwise) from the filter head.

7. Remove the CELLULAR MEDIA ELEMENT from the filter body.

8. Using a garden hose, direct water spray at the CELLULAR MEDIA ELEMENT to dislodge and

wash away any accumulated foreign matter.

9. Clean and remove any debris from inside the filter body.

10. Replace the CELLULAR MEDIA ELEMENT into the filter body.

11. Clean any debris from the O-ring at the top of the filter tank. Apply a silicone lubricant to the O-

ring.

DO NOT USE A PETROLEUM-BASE LUBRICANT ON THE O-RING.

12. Screw the locking ring (clockwise) onto the filter head.

13. Reconnect the pump connector to the discharge port of the pump.

14. Replace the drain cap, hand tighten only.

15. Follow Initial Start Up and System Restart Instructions.

SECTION VI. WINTERIZING THE FILTER

1. In the areas that have freezing winter temperatures, the pool equipment must be winterized to pro-

tect it from damage.

2. With the pump turned off, open the air relief valve.

3. Remove the drain port cap, and allow the filter to drain completely.

4. Removethe drain port plugs on the pump and allow the pump to drain completely.

5. Drain all appropriate system piping.

6. It is recommended that the pump and filter be covered with a tarpaulin or plastic sheet to inhibit

deterioration from the weather.

DO NOTWRAP THE PUMP MOTOR WITH PLASTIC.

7. Your filter system is now winterized.

8. See Section IV, Initial Start Up and Restart Instructions when pool is ready to be opened for the

season.

REV.C4-3-127

SECTION VIII. PUMP INSTRUCTIONS

1. TO PRIME PUMP - (pump must be off). Turn pump off. Place pump at or below the water level of

the pool (preferably lower than the pool water level. Open the air relief valve. Allow water to flood the

inlet hose and pump housing. Stand clear of the filter and turn the pump on. Close the air relief valve after

asteady stream of water appears. The pump will experience a temporary unstable condition and may be

somewhatnoisy until all air in the system is cleared.

2. SHAFT SEAL - (rotary seal). The shaft seal consists of two parts:

a. Rotating ceramic seal, press fitted into the impeller.

b. A stationary spring loaded seal, press fitted into the rear of the volute.

REV.C4-3-129 P/N 99226200

CAUTION

DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and external leak-

age will occur. When a seal is damaged, the seal must be replaced.

CAUTION

ALWAYS MAINTAIN PROPER WATER LEVEL IN THE POOL. Water level must be half way up the skimmer

opening. A low water level can cause the pump motor to run dry which will damage the mechanical seal

and cause external leakage.

CAUTION

The highly polished and lapped faces of the seal are easily damaged. Handle with care.

This centrifugal pump requires little or no service, however the shaft seal will wear with normal use over

the years and will require periodic replacement.

3. THE ELECTRIC MOTOR

a. The electric motor should be protected from foreign matter, water splashing, hosing, and the

weather. Enclosures should be well ventilated to prevent overheating. If a motor becomes

wet, permit it to dry before running it. If a motor has been damaged by water or dirt, the war-

ranty is void.

b. The motorsused on these pumps are48 frame through bolt motors. The through bolts are

used to secure the volute to the motor. When replacing the motor, mark the end bells and the

motor shell to indicate alignment. Removethe four nuts from the through bolts at the shaft

end.Place the shaft through the back of the volute and locate the bolts in line with the brass

inserts located in the four legs atthe rear of the volute. Be sure the end bell and the shell

marking line up. Securely fasten the motor to the volute.

c. Protect the motor from heat. Provide ample ventilation.
