Installation Instructions
WARNING
Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation. Do not
connect system to an unregulated city water system or
other external source of pressurized water producing
pressures greater than 35 psi.
3.1 Filter Location
1. Select a well-drained area, one that does not ood
when it rains. Damp, non-ventilated areas should
be avoided.
2. The lter should be installed on a rm, solid, and
level surface or platform to avoid risk of settlement.
Do not use sand to level the lter as the sand will
wash away; lter systems can weight up to 800
pounds. Check local building codes for additional
requirements. (Ex. Equipment pads in Florida must
concrete and equipment must be secured to the pad.)
3. Install electrical controls at least ve (5) feet from
the lter. This will allow enough room to stand
away from the lter during start-up.
4. Allow sufcient clearance around the lter to permit
a visual inspection of the clamp ring. See Fig. 2.
5. Allow sufcient space above the lter to remove
the lter lid and lter element for cleaning and
servicing.
6. Position the lter to safely direct water drainage.
Align the air release valve to safely direct purged
air or water.
WARNING
Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter
or valve can create an electrical hazard which can
cause death, serious injury or property damage.

CAUTION
Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order.
The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how
the filter is operating.
7. If the lter needs to be located above the water
level of the pool, it can be raised 2.5 ft. without
affecting the pump efciency. A check valve is
recommended on the suction line to the pump.
8. If the lter is to be installed below the water level
of the pool, isolation valves should be installed
on both the suction and return lines to prevent
back ow of pool water during any routine
servicing that may be required.
3.2 Anchor Bracket Installation
In some areas, for example Florida, building codes
require that all appliances be securely fastened to the
equipment pad in order to withstand high wind pressures
created by hurricanes. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC
provides an anchor bracket kit for this purpose. Please see
the Parts List in Section 9 of this manual for the correct
part number. Follow the Anchor Bracket Installation Kit
Instructions to attach the brackets to the lter.
NOTE Anchor screws and washers for securing the anchor
bracket to the equipment pad are not included with the
filter or the anchor bracket kit. Zodiac recommends
that a ¼" x 2¼" long stainless steel Tapcon® concrete
screw and stainless steel flat washer are used to
mount each anchor bracket to the equipment pad. The
Tapcon concrete screw meets Florida building code
requirements.
After placing the lter on the equipment pad, as outlined
in Section 3.1, drill a 5/32" hole in the concrete at each
of the four (4) brackets on the lter. (The correct size
concrete drill bit should be obtained when the concrete
screws are purchased.)
Install the Tapcon screws and washers through each of
the four (4) anchor brackets to secure the lter to the
equipment pad. See Figure 3. Do not over-torque the
screws.
3.3 Filter Preparation
1. Check carton for damage due to rough handling
in shipment. If carton or any lter components
are damaged, notify carrier immediately.
2. Carefully remove the accessory package.
3. A visual inspection of all parts should be made
now. See parts list in Section 9.
4. With the carton in an upright position, remove the
lter tank from the carton.
