FILTER OPERATION

WARNING
THE 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 BLOW 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 ASSURE THE SYSTEM IS NOT INADVERTENTLY STARTED DURING THE SERVICING; (B) OPEN AIR RELIEF VALVE; AND (C) WAIT UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS RELIEVED -PRESSURE GAUGE MUST READ ZERO (0).
2. WHENEVER INSTALLING THE LOCK RING, FOLLOW THE FILTER 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 THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED.

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. The filter operates under pressure. When the lock ring is installed properly and operated without air in the water system, the filter will operate in a safe manner.

2. WARNING! The maximum working pressure of the filter is 3.5 BAR (50 psi). Never subject the filter to pressure in excess of this amount – even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 3.5 BAR (50 psi) can cause lid to be blown off, which can result in serious injury, death or property damage.
   When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing system, ensure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.
   If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.

3. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the filter is operating. Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order.
   WARNING
   Your filter is a piece of machinery, do not tamper with it, attempt to disassemble it or otherwise adjust it unless you fully understand it’s operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the equipment is improperly handled. Consult a pool service professional for maintenance and service assistance.

4. Clean your filter when pressure reads between 0.5 – 0.8 BAR (8-10 psi) higher than the original starting pressure. Your filter pressure reading will increase as it removes dirt from your pool. However, this buildup of pressure will vary due to different bathing loads, temperature, weather conditions, etc.
   MY ORIGINAL STARTING PRESSURE IS ___ BAR or PSI
   I SHOULD CLEAN THE FILTER CARTRIDGES AT __ BAR or PSI

NOTE
When the cartridge element filter is used on new pools and after cleaning the elements, introduce into the system 0.25 Kg of diatomaceous earth per every 100 square feet of filter area, (a one-pound coffee can equals 0.25 Kg of diatomaceous earth). Mix the diatomite with water and pour it into the skimmer after the pump is primed and the system is operating. This will enhance the filtration of your water.

B. LOCK RING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY to prevent the lid from blowing off during system restart or later operation.

1. Perform the following steps before working on any part of the circulating system (e.g., lock ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.).

   • a. Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during servicing.
   • b. Open the High Flow™ manual air relief valve.
   • c. Wait until all pressure is relieved. Never attempt to assemble, disassemble or adjust the filter lock ring while there is any pressure in the tank.
     WARNING
     THE 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.

2. Be certain the O-ring is in position in the lower tank half. Place the filter lid over the lower tank half, making sure it is fully and firmly seated on the tank half, see Figure 2.

3. Place lock ring over the tank lid, and centering the lock ring on the threads of the tank body. Turn the lock ring clockwise until the safety latches click and the lock ring hits the stops on the body. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVER-TIGHTEN THE LOCK RING AFTER LOCK RING HAS HIT THE STOPS ON THE BODY.

4. Follow the System Restart Instructions in Section C

C. SYSTEM RESTART INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
THE TANK SEPARATION 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. Open the High Flow™ manual air relief valve until it snaps into the full open position (this only requires a quarter turn counterclockwise). Opening this valve rapidly releases air trapped in the tank.
2. Stand clear of the tank, then start the pump.
3. Close the High Flow™ manual air relief valve after a steady stream of water appears.
4. The system is not working properly if either of the following conditions occur.
   • a. A solid stream of water does not appear within 30 seconds, after the pump’s inlet basket fills with water.
   • b. The pressure gauge indicates pressure before water outflow appears.
     If either condition exists, shut off the pump immediately, open valves in the water return line to relieve pressure, and clean the air relief valve, see Section F. Cleaning the High Flow™ manual air relief valve.

D. CLEANING THE FILTER

WARNING
The following information should be read carefully since it outlines the proper manner of care and operation for your filter system. As a result of following these instructions and taking the necessary preventative care, you can expect maximum efficiency and life from your filter system.

CAUTION
Please read all manufacturers’ posted instructions, warnings and cautions when using Baquacil®.

1. Turn the pump off, shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during servicing.

2. Open the filter High Flow™ manual air relief valve, (and the waste drain valve, or cap, if your system has one).
   NOTE
   Special care must be taken when cleaning cartridge element used in a swimming pool or spa using Baquacil® as a sanitizer. Because of the way Baquacil® works, the cartridge element must be cleaned more thoroughly and more frequently than in a chlorine system. If extreme care is not taken to completely remove all residue from the cartridge element, a buildup will occur. This buildup will significantly shorten the life of the cartridge element.
   Baquacil® is a mild coagulant which combines bacterial cells as well as other small particles contributed by the environment, bathers, etc. into particles large enough to be trapped by the filter. In comparison with all other trapped contaminants in a typical pool or spa the amount of bacterial cells that are deposited on the filter is minimal. The resulting deposit is a gray sticky film which can only be removed with Baquacil®. If TSP or any TSP type cleaner is used prior to stripping the film, the cleaner and the gray film will combine to form a gum-like substance. Once this occurs, the substance cannot be removed from the media and the cartridge element must be replaced.

3. Remove hair and lint strainer pot lid and clean basket. Replace basket and secure lid.

4. Disconnect air relief hose if installed.

5. Remove locking ring by depressing safety latches on both sides of ring and rotate counterclockwise, then remove tank lid.

6. Remove the element assembly by placing hands in lifting handles and pulling straight up on the element assembly.

7. Remove the cartridge element from the center support tube.

8. Using a garden hose with a nozzle, direct water spray at the cartridge element to dislodge and wash away accumulated foreign matter. Water may be sprayed at the outside as well as the inside of the cartridge element for thorough cleaning.

9. Turn the cartridge element over several times during the washing operation to clean the media thoroughly.

10. Clean and remove debris from inside the filter tank and from the O-ring and O-ring groove on the tankbody.

11. Replace clean cartridge element on support tube and install assembly into the filter tank body, aligning the arrow on the support tube with the inlet port of the filter, making sure it is fully seated. Make sure the internal air relief screen is attached to the top of the element support tube.

12. Replace the tank lid onto the tank body making sure it is fully and firmly seated on the tank body.

13.  Place lock ring over tank lid, and centering the lock ring on the threads of the tank body, turn the lock ring clockwise until the safety latches click and the lock ring hits the stops on the body. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVER-TIGHTEN THE LOCK RING AFTER LOCK RING HAS HIT THE STOPS ON THE BODY.
    NOTE
    Any time the filter tank is opened, and/or alement assembly is removed, be sure to generously coat the O-ring with silicone lubricant before reassembling the unit. DO NOT USE PETROLEUM BASED LUBRICANTS BE-CAUSE THEY HAVE A DETERIORATING EFFECT ON RUBBER.

14. Replace drain cap and reinstall High Flow™ manual air relief valve drain hose if used.

E. REPLACING CARTRIDGE ELEMENT

Cartridge element life will vary with pool conditions such as bather load, wind, dust, etc. You can expect an average media life of three (3) years under normal conditions.

F. CLEANING THE HIGH FLOW™ MANUAL AIR RELIEF VALVE

1. Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during servicing.
2. OPEN THE HIGH FLOW™ MANUAL AIR RELIEF VALVE UNTIL IT SNAPS INTO THE FULL OPEN POSITION, THEN WAIT UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS RELIEVED.
3. With the relief valve attached to the filter tank, pull out the locking tabs and remove the valve stem and cover assembly with a counterclockwise and lifting motion, see Figure 3.
4. Clean debris from the valve stem and body. Verify that the filter tank’s air passage is open by inserting a 5/16 in. drill bit through the valve body. Verify that the O-ring are in good condition, properly positioned, and lubricated with a silicone base lubricant.
5. Reinstall the valve stem and cover assembly with a downward and clockwise motion until it snaps into position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

A. Air entering your filter is dangerous and can cause the lid to blow off. Correct any conditions in your filtration system that allow air to enter the system.

1. Some common ways to identify air entering the system:
   • Low water level in pool or spa – skimmer is starving for water with pump running. Add water to pool or spa.
   • Air bubbles or low water level in pump hair and lint pot are caused by; low water level, clogged skim-mer basket, split suction cleaner hose, leak in pump hair and lint pot lid, or leak in pump suction line.
   • Air bubbles coming out of water return lines into pool or spa with pump running, see items 1.a and 1.b of this section.
   • Air is discharged from the air relief valve on top of the filter when the valve is opened with the pump running, see items 1.a and 1.b of this section, above.

B. Until the water initially put into the pool has been completely filtered, short filter cycles in between cleanings are normal. In most cases pool owners are dismayed by the undesirable color and appearance of water in a newly filled pool. Plaster dust can be responsible for short filter cycles, requiring frequent cleaning.

C. If pressure drops on gauge, check skimmer basket and pump basket first for debris. If the baskets are clean, shut off power to pump and turn off any automatic controls. Then turn motor shaft with your fingers. If it turns freely then the pump must be disassembled and the impeller checked to see if it is clogged. If it is not frozen or clogged then there is an obstruction in the line between the pool and the pump.

D. The pressure gauge is an important part of the filter. It is your primary indicator of how the system is operating. Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order. Check the operation of your pressure gauge in the following manner:

1. The pressure gauge should go to zero (0) when the system is turned off and pressure is relieved.
2. The pressure gauge should indicate pressure when the system is operating.
3. The pressure gauge should be readable and not damaged in any way.
4. Replace the pressure gauge if it is not meeting the requirements of items D.1 through D.2 of this section, above.

TECHNICAL DATA

Recommended flow rate for residential is 0.5 GPM per Sq.Ft.
Note : Actual system flow will depend on plumbing size and other system components.
