Applications

• In-ground pools of all types and sizes

PLUMBING & INSTALLATION

1. Use 1-1/2″ I.D. flexible plastic pipe, or hose, joined with
   insert fittings and stainless steel clamps. If rigid return piping
   is used, installation of a piping union is recommended for
   ease of future servicing.
2. All plumbing connections on the system are 1-1/2″ N.P.T. When making connections, use plastic male-end adapters.
   Apply three turns of Teflon tape or plastic pipe sealant compatible with ABS to the male threads. Screw the fitting
   into the thread hand tight; then, using a wrench, tighten one more full turn. Additional tightening is unnecessary-and-could result in damage to components.

3. Tighten pump base mounting bolts, if loose.
4. Securely hand tighten the union nut between the filter and pump.
5. Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer, pool outlet, and the pump.
6. Connect the pool return (inlet) plumbing
7. If the pressure gauge is not installed, apply Teflon tape to the gauge threads, and carefully screw the gauge into the threaded hole in the side of the filter body.
8. A drain plug, with gasket, is furnished with each filter and is all that is needed for complete filter draining. If desired however, drain piping may be extended from the filter by
   using the optional Drain Valve Kit (Model SP0723) and an appropriate length of 1-1/2″ pipe. Piping must slope away from the filter so the tank can drain by gravity.
9. All electrical connections should be made in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
10. Check for joint leaks before operating system.
11. Refer to pump instruction booklet for pump information.
