IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of
the system components. Exceeding these limits
could result in a component failing under pressure.
This instantaneous release of energy can cause
the closure to separate and could cause severe
personal injury or death if they were to strike a
person.
Due to the potential risk that can be involved it is
recommended that the pressure test be kept to
the minimum time required by the local code. 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.
Never attempt to adjust any closures or lids or attempt to remove or
tighten bolts when the system is pressurized. These actions can cause
the closure to separate and could cause severe personal injury or death
if they were to strike a person.

For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/
OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such
as on/off switches, timers, and control systems,
etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, 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 during system
start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF
PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP
Circulation systems operate under high pressure.
When any part of the circulating system (i.e.
locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced,
air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure
that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start
during service. Turn off all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place filter
manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure
in the system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place
all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to flow freely from the
tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all
pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream
of water appears. Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not
higher than the pre-service condition.
Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover filter lid and valves to
violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death. Filter
tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent
separation. Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when turning
on or starting up pump.
Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate
filtration can cause poor water clarity obstructing
visibility in your pool and can allow diving into or on top of obscured
objects which can cause serious personal injury or drowning.
Operating at excessive vacuum levels can cause
the tank to crack and could cause property damage.
Always visually inspect filter components during
normal servicing to ensure structural safety.
Replace any item which is cracked, deformed or otherwise visually de-
fective. Defective filter components can allow the filter top or attachments
to separate and could cause severe bodily injury or property damage.
