WARNING
Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity obstructing
visibility in your pool. Pool water clarity may obscure objects in the water, which while swimming and
diving could cause severe personal injury and death. Never swim in a pool with poor water clarity.
SECTION III. INSTALLATION
To install this filter system, you will need the following simple tools – a screwdriver, pliers,
and ½” wrench.
1. Carefully remove the equipment from the carton and check for any evidence of damage due
to rough handling or shipping. If any of the equipment is damaged, immediately notify the
organization where the equipment was purchased.
2. This filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab, preferable concrete poured in a form
or on a platform constructed of concrete block or brick.
3. Position the filter tank on the mounting base so that the drain plug is oriented away from
the motor mount side of the base. Secure the tank to the base with two (2) 5/16-18 bolts.
4A. For Dynamo Pumps: Place the pump on the base with the lint pot to the same side as the
Inlet port of the tank. Secure the pump to the base with two (2) 5/16-18 bolts. See
Diagram 2.
4B. For OptiFlo Pumps: Place the pump on the base with the lint pot to the same side as the
Outlet port of the tank. Secure the pump to the base with two (2) 5/16-18 bolts. See
Diagram 3.
5. Do not mount electrical controls (on/off switches, timer, etc) over the filter. You need to be
able to stand clear of the filter when starting the pump.
6. Install the connector hose, Item 19 on page 13, to the inlet port of the tank, tightening the
union nut that is attached to the tank, only hand tight. Bend the hose 90 degrees to fit the
threaded union nut over the outlet port of the pump. Hand tighten only.
7. Insert the check valve into the outlet port of the filter,
making sure the rubber diaphragm is facing outward,
see Diagram 1.
8. Install the union elbow adaptor to the outlet port of
the tank tightening the nut only hand tight. Secure
the flex hose with a hose clamp. Tighten the clamp
with a screwdriver. Connect the flex hose from the
outlet side of the filter to the return fitting on the pool
wall, using a hose clamp.
9. Screw the hose adaptor, item number 711006 on page
13, into the inlet port of the pump. This is the
opening in the sidewall of the pump pot. Use Teflon
tape on the threads and tighten no more than one (1) turn past hand tight. Connect the flex
hose to this adaptor with a hose clamp and tighten with a screwdriver. Connect the hose
from the inlet port of the pump to the skimmer, using a hose clamp.
