FIG 5 Consumer Information and Safety

THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE

When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., closure, pump, filter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the top closure to separate which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions:

  1. Let air and pressure out of system before and after servicing.
    a. Shut off pump and RELIEVE PRESSURE by opening the manual air/pressure relief valve before servicing, including before tightening the clamp bolt. Follow the Opening the Filter instructions exactly (page 4).
    b. Follow Start-Up Instructions exactly after completing service (page 6). The air/pressure relief valve must remain open until water comes out, allowing all air out of the system.

  2. Install lid and clamp ring properly.
    a. Follow the Installing the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring instructions exactly (page 5). The nut must be tightened until the spring is compressed when clamp is installed. Tap the clamp with a rubber mallet or similar tool after clamp installation to ensure proper seating.

  3. Maintain circulation system properly to help prevent air entering the system.
    a. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately, (e.g., closure, pressure gauge, valve(s), O-rings, etc.).
    b. Maintain proper water level in the pool or spa.

  4. Verify that the return line to the pool is unobstructed. Ensure return valves are open and any winterizing
    plugs are removed.

AVOID DAMAGING SYSTEM
Never Exceed Maximum Pressure of Components. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 50 psi. Never
subject this filter to higher pressure, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 50 psi can damage your filter.

Be sure the maximum pressure of the filter system does not exceed the maximum pressure of any components within the system (typically stated on each component), including during hydrostatic or external leak tests. Exceeding the maximum pressure of a component can result in that component failing. If you do not know the pool or spa system operating pressure, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system set to the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.

Certain codes may require pressure testing the system. Performing pressure tests increases the risk of component failure. Due to the potential risk that can be involved, keep the pressure test to the minimum time required by the local code and take precautions. If pressure testing is necessary, follow these precautions:

  1. Keep people away.
    a. Do not allow people to work around the system when the circulation system is under pressure test. Post appropriate warning signs and establish a barrier around the pressurized equipment. If the equipment is located in an equipment room, lock the door and post a warning sign.

  2. Never exceed maximum operating pressure.
    a. 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

THIS SYSTEM 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 separate which can result in serious injury, death, or property damage.

To avoid this potential hazard, follow the instructions below.

Filter Overview

  • Large filter area designed for increased debris capacity
  • High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve provided
  • 1.5″ x 2″ Bulkhead Unions allows for easy piping installation

General Operation Information
Read and follow all instructions and warnings before installing or servicing your filter. Proper installation and operation can prevent unnecessary repairs and maintenance.

****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.

  1. The Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge Filter operates under pressure and operates in a safe manner if clamped properly and without air in the circulating system.
  2. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 50 psi. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of this amount, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests.
  3. Be sure the maximum pressure of the filter system does not exceed the maximum pressure of any components within the system during hydrostatic or external leak tests. Consult the maximum pressure stated on each component of the system.
  4. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the filter is operating. Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order.
  5. Clean your filter when pressure reads between 8-10 psi higher than the “Original Starting Pressure”, or when significant reduction in flow is noticed. The pressure reading increases as it filters dirt from your pool. This build up of pressure will vary due to different bathing loads, temperature, environmental conditions, etc.
    Note: When using a variable speed pump the “Original Starting Pressure” will be dependent on the pump speed (RPM) when recording the original operating pressure. Record the “Original Pump RPM” in Table 1.

Pressure Tests
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 you do not know the pool or spa system operating pressure, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system set to the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.

Table 1
ORIGINAL STARTING PRESSURE IS: ____ psi. (pounds per square inch)
SERVICE THE CARTRIDGES AT: __ psi.
ORIGINAL PUMP RPM: __ rpm. (for Variable Speed Pumps Only)

INSTALLATION

This filter must be installed by a qualified pool technician in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, servicers, or others and may also cause damage to property.

****For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers, Control Systems and Automation) Install all electrical controls at the equipment pad, such as ON/OFF switches, timers, control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shutdown or servicing) of any pump or filter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump strainer lid during system startup, shutdown or servicing of the system filter.

Filter Location

  1. The Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge Filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the filter so that instructions, warnings and the pressure gauge are visible to the operator and readable. It also should be positioned so that the piping connections, control valve and waste drain plug are convenient and accessible for servicing and winterizing.

  2. Be certain to install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers, control systems, etc.) so that the user is allowed enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump during startup, shutdown or servicing.

  3. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual verification that the clamp is properly installed around the tank flanges, see Figure 1.
    Note: See page 5, Installing the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring. FIG 7 Filter
Location

  4. Allow sufficient space above the filter to remove the filter lid for cleaning and servicing. This distance will vary with the model of filter you are using. See Table 2 for the required vertical clearance.  FIG 8 Filter Location

  5. Position the filter to safely direct water drainage away from electrical equipment or anything that might be damaged.

  6. Position the High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve to safely direct purged air or water (See page 3, Installing
    the Manual Air Relief Valve).

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal injury as well as damage property.

Filter Plumbing
Make all plumbing connections in accordance with local plumbing and building codes. Do not use pipe joint compound, glue or solvent on the bulkhead connections. The provided filter plumbing connections include an O-ring seal.

Use PTFE or silicone based lubricants when lubricating the O-rings on the union and bulkhead couplings. Use of petroleum based products will damage the equipment.

Installing the Manual Air Relief Valve

The High Flow manual air relief valve and pressure gauge are included with this filter to help ensure safe operation of the equipment. Always maintain these components in good working condition.

FIG 11 Installing the Manual Air Relief Valve

  1. Remove the High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve and the pressure gauge from the accessories package included with your Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge Filter.

  2. Thread the manual air relief valve into the threaded hole at the top of the filter tank.
    Note: Hand tighten only! Over tightening the valve can cause damage to the tank or valve connection threads.

  3. Verify that the valve is positioned to safely direct purged air or water away from electrical equipment or anything that might be damaged. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal injury as well as damage property.

  4. Remove the plug from the top of the manual air relief valve with a 9/16″ wrench.

  5. Wrap the pressure gauge connection threads with thread seal tape (two full wraps of tape will be enough).

  6. Thread the pressure gauge into the top of the manual air relief valve. Hand tighten only!

  7. Follow Start-up Instructions exactly (page 6).

OPENING, CLOSING, AND START-UP

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 filtration system.

Opening the Filter
Follow these instructions exactly to prevent the lid from separating during system start-up, operation or servicing.

This filter operates under high pressure. Air can also enter the system and become pressurized.
If there is air in the system, there will be positive pressure that could cause the lid to separate from the filter when you release the clamp or during system start-up or operation. See Important Safety Instructions, page ii-iii). If there is no air in the system, there may be negative pressure, which would make the system hard to open. Follow these instructions exactly – opening the relief valve equalizes the pressure and releases any trapped air within the system, making it safe and easy to open.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT:

  • Ratchet Wrench
  • 7/8″ Socket
  • Socket Extender (if needed)

PROCEDURE:

  1. Shut off pump and relieve pressure.
    a. Turn the pump OFF, shut OFF any automatic controls (e.g., timers), and disconnect power to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during maintenance.
    b. Open the High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve by turning the valve cover assembly counterclockwise until it snaps into the full open position.
    c. Stand clear of the filter and wait until all pressure is relieved. Pressure gauge must read zero (0 psi).

  2. Open the waste drain plug on the bottom of the Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge Filter. Allow all water to drain from the bottom of the filter tank.

  3. Loosen the clamp’s barrel nut with a 7/8″ wrench, allowing the spring coils to decompress. See Figure 4. Remove the barrel nut, spring and two washers from the T-bolt and place them in a safe place where they will not be lost.

  4. Once the spring has fully decompressed the clamp assembly will rest in the open position. Carefully lift
    the filter lid straight up from the lower body of the filter. If the lid is tightly sealed to the filter body you may have to gently push the filter lid from side to side in order to separate the lid from the bottom tank manifold. DO NOT use the relief valve as a handle or lever since this may damage the valve.

  5. Place the tank lid in a safe place where it will not be damaged while performing any maintenance.
    NOTE: Attempt to minimize the amount of debris that comes in contact with the tank O-ring while it is exposed. This will help prolong the life of the O-ring.

Installing the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring

Follow these instructions exactly to prevent the lid from separating from the filter during system start-up or operation. See Important Safety Instructions, page ii-iii.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT:

  • Ratchet Wrench
  • 7/8″ Socket
  • Socket Extender (if needed)
  • Rubber Mallet

PROCEDURE:

FIG 12 Installing the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring

  1. Be sure the O-ring is clean and in position in the lower tank half. Press the Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge Filter lid onto the lower half so the O-ring fits in between the tank halves.

  2. Hold the ends of the clamp ring apart and place over both upper and lower tank flanges. Bring the ends of the filter clamp together.

  3. Insert the T-bolt through the other side of the clamp and hold together.

  4. Place the small washer onto the T-bolt.

  5. Place the spring, large washer and barrel nut onto the T‑bolt and tighten the nut by hand. Be sure the clamp ring fits easily on the tank flanges.

  6. After tightening by hand:
    a. Use a 7/8 in. wrench (ratchet wrench recommended) to tighten further.
    b. Tap around the outside of the clamp ring with a rubber mallet (or similar tool) multiple times around the entire clamp to fit the clamp properly.
    c. Continue to tighten until the spring coils touch.
    d. Tap around the entire clamp again and verify the spring coils remain touching. If not, continue to tighten the nut.
    Note: The clamp is installed correctly only when the spring coils remain touching after tapping the clamp (See Figure 5).

  7. Close the waste drain plug at the bottom of the filter.

  8. Follow Start-Up Instructions exactly (see page 6)

Note: Check the spring coils at least once a month to ensure proper tension. If spring coils do not touch then shut off pump and relieve pressure and tighten the nut and tap filter clamp until the coils touch.

DO NOT tighten the nut or attempt to adjust the clamp ring or lid while the system is turned on or under pressure. This could cause the lid to separate from the filter

Start-Up Instructions

Follow these instructions exactly to prevent the lid from separating from the filter during system start-up or operation. See Important Safety Instructions, page ii-iii.

FIG 13 Start-Up Instructions

  1. Be sure the spring on the clamp ring is fully compressed, with coils touching.

  2. Open the High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve by turning the valve cover assembly a quarter turn counter-clockwise, until it snaps into the full open position. See Figure 6.

  3. Stand clear of the filter tank, then start the pump.

  4. Watch for proper operation. The system is not working properly if:
    a. The pressure gauge indicates pressure before water out-flow appears.
    b. A solid stream of water does not appear within 30 seconds after the pump’s inlet basket fills with water.
    c. Water leaks from where the two halves of the filter come together.
    If any of these conditions exist, shut off the pump immediately. Open the manual air relief valve to relieve pressure and clean the valve (see Cleaning the Manual Air Relief Valve, page 7). If the problem persists, call Pentair Technical Service at 800-831-7133 for assistance.

  5. After a steady stream of water appears, close the manual air relief valve by turning the valve cover assembly a quarter turn clockwise.

  6. The first time the system is started up, fill out Table 1 on page 1 and the corresponding label on the equipment:
    a. Record the “Original Starting Pressure”
    b. Fill in the pressure at which to clean the filter (8-10 psi higher than the “Original Starting Pressure”).
    c. If the system includes a variable speed pump, record “Original Pump RPM”.

MAINTENANCE

Maintaining the Pressure Gauge
The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the system is operating, so correct functioning is critical.
Replace the pressure gauge (Pentair P/N 190058) if it does not meet the requirements below:

  1. Pressure gauge should go to zero (0) when the system is turned off and pressure is relieved.
  2. Pressure gauge should indicate pressure when the system is operating.
  3. The pressure gauge should be readable and not damaged in anyway

Cleaning the Manual Air Relief Valve
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT:

  • 5/16″ Drill Bit (to check air passage)
  • Silicone-based Lubricant (if needed)

PROCEDURE:

FIG 14 Cleaning the Manual Air Relief Valve

  1. Shut off pump and relieve pressure.
    a. Turn the pump OFF and shut OFF any automatic controls (e.g., timers) and disconnect power to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during maintenance.
    b. Open the manual air relief valve by turning the valve cover assembly a quarter turn counter-clockwise until it snaps into the full open position.
    c. Stand clear of the filter and wait until all pressure is relieved. Pressure gauge must read zero (0 psi).

  2. With the relief valve attached to the Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge
    Filter tank, pull out the locking tabs and unlock the valve stem and cover assembly from the valve body with a counter-clockwise turn, see Figure 7.

  3. Pull the valve stem and cover assembly straight up and away from the valve body.

  4. Clean and check the valve stem and body:
    a. Clean off any debris.
    b. Verify that the filter tank’s air passage is open by inserting a 5/16″ drill bit through the valve body.
    c. Verify that the valve stem O-rings are in good condition, properly positioned, and lubricated with a silicone-base lubricant. If needed, use only a PTFE or silicone-base lubricant on the O-rings. Use of petroleum based products on O-rings will damage the equipment.

  5. Reinstall the valve stem and cover assembly with a downward and clockwise motion until it snaps into position.

When to Clean Your Filter

Proper operation can prevent avoidable repairs and maintenance.

Use the pressure gauge to determine when to clean your Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge Filter for proper operation. The pressure reading increases as dirt is filtered from your pool. This buildup of pressure will vary due
to different bathing loads, temperature, environmental conditions, etc.

Clean your filter when pressure reads between 8-10 psi higher than the “Original Starting Pressure” recorded in Table 1 (page 1), or when significant reduction in flow is noticed.

Note: When using a variable speed pump the “Original Starting Pressure” will be dependent on the pump speed
(RPM) when recording the original operating pressure.

Cleaning the Filter Cartridges

  1. Follow Opening the Filter (page 4) exactly.

  2. Remove hair and lint strainer pot lid from the pump and clean basket. Replace strainer basket and secure strainer pot lid.

  3. Remove the compression spring and spring adapter by pulling them straight up.

  4. Separate the top manifold from the filter’s cartridges and lay the manifold to the side. See Figure 8.

  5. Carefully remove each cartridge element separately.

  6. Using a garden hose with a straight flow nozzle, wash down the entire filter element. Wash from the top down, holding the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to the cartridge (See Figure 9). Pay special attention to the area between pleats.

  7. For cartridges used in pools or spas where high levels of perspiration, suntan lotions and other oils are present:
    a. Soak the cartridge for at least one hour (overnight is most effective) in one of the following:
    • A commercial filter cleaner Heed all manufacturers’ instructions and warnings when using polyhexamethylene biguanide sanitizers or other cartridge filter cleaner solutions.
    • One cup trisodium phosphate (TSP) to five gallons of water
    • One cup dishwasher detergent to five gallons of water
    b. Rinse the cartridge to remove oils and cleaning solution. Failure to remove all oils and cleaning solutions before acid soaking will result in permanent restriction of water flow through the filter and will cause premature cartridge failure.   FIG 15 Cleaning the Filter
Cartridges

  8. Direct the water spray to wash out the inside of the tank body and bottom manifold. Water and debris will drain out through the open drain plug.

  9. Check gasket around outer lip of bottom plate. Gasket must be firmly and evenly set around the entirety of the outer lip.

  10. Place bottom manifold, four (4) cartridges and top manifold in place. Make sure the spring and standpipe assembly are retained on the top manifold.

  11. Be certain the O-ring is in position in the lower tank half and free of debris.

  12. Follow Installing the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring exactly (page 5).

Acid Soaking the Filter Cartridges
After an extended period of operation, it may be necessary to soak the cartridges in an acid solution. Acid soaking
will remove algae, calcium carbonate, iron and other mineral build-ups from the cartridges. If not removed, these
mineral deposits can lead to the restriction of water flow through the Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge Filter and
can impede efficient operation of the equipment.

Muriatic acid is corrosive and can lead to inflammation or burns to body tissue.
ALWAYS wear rubber gloves, safety glasses and an N-95 dust mask when handling acid to prevent serious bodily injury.

To prevent degradation of the acid by UV light, store muriatic acid in an opaque container and away from direct sunlight.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT:

  • Large Plastic Container
  • Garden Hose with a Straight Flow Nozzle
  • Muriatic Acid (stored in opaque container)
  • Rubber Gloves
  • Safety Glasses
  • N-95 Dust Mask

PROCEDURE:

FIG 17 Acid Soaking the Filter Cartridges

  1. Remove all oils and cleaning solutions from the cartridges.                                                                              Acid soaking without performing this step will result in permanent restriction of water flow through the filter and premature cartridge failure.
  2. Put on protective equipment – rubber gloves, safety glasses and N-95 dust mask.
  3. In a large plastic container, create a solution of one part muriatic acid to twenty parts water. See Figure 10.    Always introduce the muriatic acid as close to the water’s surface as possible. This will minimize splash and reduce the risk of user contact with the acid.   FIG 17 Acid Soaking the Filter Cartridges
  4. Gently place the bottom of the cartridges into the acid solution. Allow the cartridges to soak in the solution for 10 minutes, or until bubbling stops.
  5. Turn the cartridges over, placing the top halves into the solution. Allow the top halves of the cartridges to soak for 10 minutes, or until bubbling stops.
  6. Remove the cartridges from the acid solution.
  7. Using a garden hose with a straight flow nozzle, thoroughly wash down the entire filter element. Wash from the top down, holding the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to the cartridge. See Figure 9, on page 8.
  8. Reinstall the cartridges and dispose of the acid solution in accordance with local regulations.

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

TO REPLACE FILTER CARTRIDGES:

  1. Follow Opening the Filter exactly (page 4).

  2. Remove the compression spring and spring adapter by pulling them straight up. Once the spring and spring adapter have been removed, separate the top manifold from the filter cartridges and lay the manifold to the side. See Figure 6).

  3. Carefully remove each cartridge element separately.

  4. Check gasket around outer lip of bottom plate. Gasket must be firmly and evenly set around the entirety of the outer lip.

  5. Install the replacement cartridges onto the bottom manifold. Reinstall the top manifold on to the new cartridges.
    Note: Be sure the spring and standpipe assembly are retained on the top manifold.

  6. Follow Installing the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring exactly (page 5).

TROUBLESHOOTING

  1. AIR ENTERING THE SYSTEM.
    Air entering your Clean and Clear® Plus Cartridge Filter can cause lid separation. Correct any conditions in
    your filtration system that allow air to enter the system. Air entering the system can cause the lid to separate from the filter. If the below symptoms are observed, do not attempt to remove or tighten the clamping system or perform any other servicing until you have shut off pump and relieved all air and pressure in accordance with the Opening the Filter instructions (page 4). See Important Safety Instructions, page ii-iii.
    Symptoms:
    • Low water level in pool or spa – skimmer starving for water with pump running.
    • Air bubbles or low water level in pump hair and lint pot
    • Air bubbles coming out of water return lines into pool or spa with pump running
    • Air is discharged from the air/pressure relief valve on top of the filter when the valve is opened with the
    pump running.
    Potential Causes and Solutions:
    • Low water level: Add water to pool or spa.
    • Clogged skimmer basket: Unclog.
    • Damaged or leaking components (e.g., split suction cleaner hose, leak in pump hair and lint pot lid, or
    leak in pump suction line): Repair or replace component.

  2. SHORT FILTER CYCLES BETWEEN CLEANING.
    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.

  3. PRESSURE DROP ON GAUGE.
    If pressure drops on gauge, check skimmer basket and pump basket first for debris. If the baskets are clean,
    there is likely a problem with the pump. Refer to pump manual for pump troubleshooting.
