INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LOCATION

The filter should be placed in its permanent location, preferably as

close to the pool as practicable. Position the filter tank and pump

on a level concrete slab or similar base. Allow sufficient space

around the filter for routine maintenance and provide for adequate

ventilation and drainage.

Place the pump in position on the slab and locate the filter alongside

with the appropriate pump inlet connection oriented towards the

pump. Refer to the specification section for the minimum clearance

measurements required for each model.

WEATHER PROTECTION

Monarch Series Cartridge Filters are constructed of corrosion

resistant materials. However, to ensure years of reliable performance,

it is recommended that the filtration system is adequately protected

from the weather.

ASSEMBLY

Assemble the pressure gauge to the filter lid using Teflon tape on the

male thread. Do not over-tighten.

PIPE CONNECTIONS

Piping should be independently supported and not impose heavy

loads on the filter or pump. Use 40mm or 50mm pipe for pump and

pool return lines. 50mm should always be used if length of piping is

over 15m.

If the pump and filter are located below pool water level, it is

necessary to fit isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and

the pool, and in the return line from the filter to the pool.

Barrel unions need to be hand tightened only. No sealant, glues

or silicones are required.
