4.6 Plumbing
WARNING
PVC cement and primer can produce vapors
that can be hazardous to your health. Use PVC
cement to join pipes only in a well ventilated area
where vapors cannot accumulate.
Pipe dope should NEVER be used on plastic
threads. Pipe dope will severely weaken the plas-
tic, causing leakage and may cause the plastic to
fracture. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Make sure all plumbing connections are in accordance
with local plumbing and building codes.
1. Using appropriate pipe adhesive, connect the lter
to the pool water recirculation system.
2. Plumb the pump discharge line to the Pump Port
on the Multi-port Valve.
3. Plumb the return line to the Return Port on the
Multi-port Valve.
4. Plumb the waste line to the Waste Port on the
Multi-port Valve.
5. Connect the pipes using the unions supplied
with the lter. Do not use PTFE (plumbers) tape
or pipe dope on any union nuts. Assemble the
unions dry and hand tighten.
6. Piping adapters are sized for 1.1/2" PVC pipe.
Section 5. Operation
This lter operates under pressure. When clamped
properly and operated without air in the water
system, this lter will operate in a safe manner. All
plumbing connections should be in accordance with
local plumbing and building codes. Do not use pipe
joint compound, glue or solvent on the union nut
threads.
5.1 Filter Valve Functions
Filter pump must be turned o prior to making any
adjustments to the multiport valve. When starting
the pump after making adjustments to the valve be sure
to stand clear of the lter. Ensure that all provisions
for waste water disposal meet local, state or national
codes.

returns back to the pool. Set for Normal ltration
operation. Multiport Valve should be in this
position for all typical ltration and sanitation
circulation.
• WASTE: Water bypasses lter sand and is routed
to waste port.
• RECIRCULATE: Water bypasses lter sand and
is returned to the pool.
