®
RP Cartridge Filter Installation and User’s Guide
Filter Location
1. The Clean and Clear
®
RP 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 lock ring is properly installed around the tank flanges, see
Figure 1.
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.
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.
Figure 1
INSTALLATION
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.
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, service persons, or
others and may also cause damage to 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.
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.
