Read and follow all instructions. Basic safety precautions must be followed. Failure to follow may result in injury.
Select a continuous duty pump designed for pool/spa service and determine its location. Consider pump lift ability and output range.
Position filter close to pool, in a well-drained area on a level surface. Ensure clearances and accessibility for operation and maintenance.
Use 11/2", 2" or 21/2" piping. Connections are 2" slip (solvent weld).
Recommend ball or gate valves for water flow control. Provide valves for backflow prevention when filter is below water level.
Connect pool skimmers and main drains to the inlet and return lines to the outlet. Use two or more drains per pump. Install pressure gauge carefully.
Filter drain plug for complete draining. Manual Air Valve (MAR) aids in bleeding air. Internal auto air vent removes air during operation.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes.
Position filtration system, pumps, and heater to prevent access by young children as per ANSI/NSPI-4 standard.
Obtain chemicals and test kit. Balance pool water by adding chemicals per manufacturer's instructions.
Ensure clamp and MAR are secure, drain plug closed. Open air vent screw. Prime and start pump. Close air vent when water stream emerges.
Pressure rises as filter collects dirt. Clean filter when pressure increases 8-10 psi above start pressure. Clean more frequently for new/dirty pools.
Shut off pump. Close valves if filter is below water level to prevent backflow before removing cartridges.
Unscrew and remove drain plug to drain water. Reinstall plug before refilling. Open air relief assembly (MAR) to assist drainage.
Shut off pump. Loosen spring barrel assembly, then remove clamp and lid to expose dirty elements. Handle clamp carefully to prevent failure.
Remove plug and manifold. Remove cartridges from bottom manifold by rocking gently and lifting up.
Clean elements by pressure washing inside and out. Allow to dry, then brush pleated surfaces to remove fine particles.
Soak cartridges in cleaner solution if debris remains. For calcium/mineral deposits, soak in muriatic acid solution (1:10 ratio) with caution.
Flush and drain filter tank. Replace cartridges over manifold assembly. Secure manifold plug into top of cartridges.
Clean and lubricate O-Ring with silicone. Seat lid on tank, pressing firmly and evenly to ensure proper seal.
Install drain plug, open suction/return valves. Proceed with initial start-up as per step 10 on page 3.
Ensure O-Ring is seated correctly. Position clamp center segment over tank flanges and bring ends together, inserting T-bolt.
Hand-tighten nut with wrench, then use socket/ratchet to tighten. Tap clamp while tightening until spring coils touch.
Check spring coils monthly to ensure they touch each other. Repeat tightening step if they separate.
Drain filter and remove/clean cartridges when sub-freezing temperatures are expected. Remove drain plug to prevent cracking.
Maintain chlorine 1-3 ppm and pH 7.2-7.6 for sanitization. Imbalanced chemistry promotes algae/bacteria growth and hinders filtration.
For service and repairs, consult your local authorized Waterway dealer or service center. No direct factory returns without authorization.
Start at the back, place O-Ring around filter lip, drawing it towards you between thumb and forefinger.
Continue drawing O-Ring towards you, keeping thumb/forefinger between O-Ring and lip. Ensure O-Ring does not twist.
After finishing, ensure O-Ring is not twisted. Replace the filter lid.
