Opening the Filter
Follow these instructions exactly to prevent the lid from separating during system start-up, operation or servicing.
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.
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 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. 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.
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.
DO NOT use the relief valve as a handle or lever since this may damage the valve.
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 Warnings and 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.
