iii IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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.
1 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.
2 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.
3 Installing the Manual Air Relief Valve Figure 2 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. PRESSURE GAUGE 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. VALVE PLUG 2.
4 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.
5 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 Warnings and Safety Instructions, page ii-iii). RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: • Ratchet Wrench • 7/8" Socket • Socket Extender (if needed) • Rubber Mallet Clamp Ring, Open Position PROCEDURE: 1. Be sure the O-ring is clean and in position in the lower tank half.
6 Start-Up Instructions Follow these instructions exactly to prevent the lid from separating from the filter during system start-up or operation. (See Important Warnings and Safety Instructions, page ii-iii). 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. Quarter turn counterclockwise to open 3.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
