TheNOTICE label indicates special instructions that are important but not related to hazards.

READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

**CAUTION To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely supervise children at all times. The ANSI/NSPI-4 Standard (above-ground and on-ground pools) advises that components such as the filtration system, pumps, and heaters be positioned to prevent they’re being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.
WARNING COMPONENT SEPARATION HAZARD**
Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start-up, normal operation, and possibly after the pump shut off. Pressure in the system can cause explosive component separation of the upper filter body if safety and operation instructions are not followed. Severe personal injury or death can result.

**This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional.
TO AVOID COMPONENT SEPARATION**

• Follow all safety and operation instructions.
• Do not operate the water circulation system if a system component is assembled improperly, damaged, missing, or not a genuine Hayward component.
• Before performing maintenance on the water circulation system, verify all system and pump controls are in the OFF position and the filter manual air relief valve is in the OPEN position.
• Use ONLY Hayward clamp system components: DEX2421JKIT clamp assembly, DEX2421J2 nut/bolt assembly, and a DEX2422Z2 metal reinforced seal. Non-Hayward components may fail in use and cause explosive separation.
• Never rely on hand tightening the clamp nut to the clamp bolt. Using a ¾” socket on a torque wrench, torque clamp nut, and clamp bolt to 150 inch-lbs.
• Before starting the system pump, ensure the filter manual air relief valve body is in the LOCK position in the filter upper body.
• Before starting the system pump, verify that all system valves are set in a position to allow water from the filter to return back to the pool.
• Before starting the system pump, the manual air relief valve must be in the OPEN position.
• When starting the pump, do not stand over or near the filter.
• If water leakage appears in the area of the filter tank clamp, immediately turn off all system circulation pumps and electrical power. Do not return to the filter until all water flow has stopped. Reassemble the clamp system per the instructions in this owner’s manual to stop the leak.
• Return to filter to close manual air relief valve only when a steady stream of water (Not air or air and water mix) is discharged from the manual air relief valve.
• Do not change the filter control valve position while the system pump is running.

WARNING EXCESS PRESSURE HAZARD
**** Pressure testing of the pump and filter system in excess of the 50 PSI can cause explosive separation of the components. Component separation can result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
High Voltage electricity is present in the pool and spa equipment. High voltage electricity can cause shock and electrocution. Shock and electrocution can result in severe personal injury or death.

• All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electrical Code (NEC).
• Before performing any service or maintenance on electrical equipment turn off all electrical power.
• Contact a licensed electrician or building inspector for information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements.
• Verify water discharge from the filter manual air relief valve is directed away from electrical devices. Do not locate pump controls over or near the filter.

WARNING – SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD.

| Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers that are, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards:
---|---
| Hair Entrapment – Hair can become entangled in the suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.
**| Body Suction Entrapment – A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in entrapment.
**| Evisceration/ Disembowelment Entrapment – A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/ disembowelment entrapment.
Mechanical Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toes, or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS:

• A minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [1 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
• Dual suction outlets shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
• Dual suction outlets shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
• The pool or spa circulation system shall be designed to comply with ANSI/APSP-7 2006.
• Suction outlet covers shall conform to ANSI/ASME A112.19.8
• Never use the Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component (cover/grate) is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
• Immediately replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components.
• The CPSP as well as the ICC International Residential Code Part IX, Appendix G, Section AG106 specifies the installation of a safety vacuum release system conforming to ASME A112.19.17, or an approved gravity drain system.
• Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the suction outlets can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.
• Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper, and other material can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.
  Suction outlet covers and grates have a finite life. They should be inspected frequently and replaced within specified life.

INSTALLATION

**WARNING
** This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional.

1. The filter system should be installed on a level concrete slab or another rigid base. Select a well-drained and vented area, one that does not flood when it rains. Position the filter so that the piping connections and winter drain are convenient and accessible for operation, service, maintenance, and winterizing.
2. Position the filter body such that all operation and safety labels are visible.
3. Position the filter so the filter will drain by gravity.
4. If practical, place the pump and filter in the shade to shield it from continuous, direct heat from the sun.
5. Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer, pool suction outlet (from the pool), and the pump.
6. Connect the pump discharge (pump OUTLET) to the top port of the filter (filter INLET).
7. Connect the bottom filter port (filter OUTLET) to the pool return plumbing lines.
8. Do not locate pump controls over or near the filter.
9. Verify water discharge from the manual air relief valve(MAR) is directed away from electrical devices.

STARTING THE PUMP and FILTER SYSTEM

WARNING
Before Starting the Pump

1. Use ONLY Hayward clamp system components; DEX2421JKIT clamp system, DEX2421J2 nut/bolt assembly, DEX2422Z2 metal reinforced seal. Non-Hayward clamp components may fail in use and cause explosive component separation. Verify that upper and lower filter bodies are properly secured with the filter body clamp. Never rely on hand tightening the clamp nut to the clamp bolt. Using a ¾” socket on a torque wrench, torque clamp nut to clamp bolt to 150 inch-lbs. (See Fig 1) Verify that the filter manual air relief body is in the LOCK position, and no filter components are missing, damaged or not genuine Hayward components. (See Fig 2)
2.  Close filter drain. NOTE: The filter plug requires an O-ring seal. (See Fig 4)
3.  Open all system valves to allow water from the pool to the filtration system and from the filter to return to the pool.
4. Place the manual air relief valve in the OPEN position. (See Fig 2)

Starting Pump

1.  When starting the system pump, do not stand over or near the filter. If water leakage appears at the filter tank clamp, immediately turn off all system circulation pumps and all electrical power. Do not return to the filter until all water leakage has stopped.
   Reassemble the clamp system per the instructions on page 7 in this owner’s manual to stop the leak.

2.  Return to filter to CLOSE manual air relief valve only when a steady stream of water (not air or, air and water mix) is discharged from the manual air relief valve.

OPERATION

WARNING

FILTERING
Filtration starts as soon as the flow is steady through the filter. As the filter removes dirt from the pool water, the accumulated dirt causes a resistance to flow. As a result, the gauge pressure will rise and the flow will decrease. When the pressure rises between 7 and 10 psi (.49 – .69 bar) above the starting pressure, or when the flow decreases below the desired rate, clean or replace the filter cartridge elements. Once your filter is running and there is a pressure reading, line up the green arrow with the current reading. (See Fig 3) When the pressure rises to or above the red or second arrow, it is time to clean or replace your filter cartridge elements.

By recording the initial starting pressure (with clean filter elements) a determination can be made when the filter cartridge elements should be replaced rather than cleaned. After the filter elements have been cleaned and reinstalled if the starting pressure is higher than 6 PSI above the starting pressure with the new filter cartridge elements, the filter cartridge elements should be replaced the next time the gauge arrow reaches the red arrow.

MAINTAINING YOUR FILTER
