IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE

When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., closure, pump, ﬁlter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air can enter

the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the top closure to separate which can

result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions:

1. If you are not familiar with your pool ﬁltering system and/or heater:

a. Do NOT attempt to adjust or service without consulting your dealer, or a qualiﬁed pool

technician.

b. Read the entire Installation & User’s Guide before attempting to use, service or adjust the

pool ﬁltering system or heater.

2. Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or any other service

of the circulating system: (A) Turn the pump OFF and shut OFF any automatic controls to ensure

the system is NOT inadvertently started during the servicing; (B) open the manual air bleeder valve;

3. Whenever installing the ﬁlter closure FOLLOW THE FILTER CLOSURE WARNINGS

EXACTLY.

4. Once service on the circulating system is complete FOLLOW INITIAL START-UP

INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

5. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately, (e.g.,

closure, pressure gauge, valve(s), o-rings, etc).

6. Be sure that the ﬁlter is properly mounted and positioned according to instructions provided.

This ﬁlter must be installed by a qualiﬁed pool serviceman in accordance with all applicable local codes

and ordinances. Improper installation could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or

others and may also cause damage to property.

Always disconnect power to the pool circulating system at the circuit breaker before servicing the ﬁlter.

Ensure that the disconnected circuit is locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be switched on

while you are working on the ﬁlter. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death to serviceman,

pool users or others due to electric shock.

Do not operate the ﬁlter until you have read and understand clearly all the operating instructions

and warning messages for all equipment that is a part of the pool circulating system. The following

instructions are intended as a guide for initially operating the ﬁlter in a general pool installation. Failure

to follow all operating instructions and warning messages can result in property damage or severe

personal injury or death.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.

Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of the system components. Exceeding these limits

could result in a component failing under pressure. This instantaneous release of energy can cause the

ﬁlter to separate and could cause severe personal injury or death if they were to strike a person.

CLEAN AND CLEAR®PLUS Cartridge Filter Installation and User’s Guide

SECTION I. FILTER INSTALLATION

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. The Clean and Clear®Plus Cartridge Filter should be

mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the lter so

that instructions, warnings and the pressure gauge are

visible to the operator. It also should be positioned so that

the piping connections, control valve and drain port are

convenient and accessible for servicing and winterizing.

2. Be certain to install electrical controls (e.g., on/off

switches, timers, control systems, etc.) at least ve (5)

feet from the lter. This permits one to stand

clear of the lter during system start up.

3. Allow sufcient clearance around the lter

to permit visual verication that the clamp is

properly installed around the tank anges, see

Figure 1.

a. Tap the clamp with a mallet or similar tool

to ensure uniform loading during clamp

tightening.

4. Allow sufcient space above the lter to remove the lter lid for cleaning and servicing. This

distance will vary with the model of lter you are using. See Table 1 for the required vertical

clearance.

5. Position the lter to safely direct water drainage. Rotate the High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve

to safely direct purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly positioned lter or valve

can create an electrical hazard as well as damage property.

6. Make all plumbing connections in accordance with local plumbing and building codes. Filter plumbing

connections are provided with an O-ring seal. If needed, use only a silicone base lubricant on the

O-rings. Do not use pipe joint compound, glue or solvent on the bulkhead connections.

Note: To seal the valve connections, use thread seal tape, thread sealant or plumbing paste

(non-petroleum base).

7. Remove the plug from the top of the lter lid and install the pressure gauge before use.

8. The maximum working pressure of this lter is 50 p.s.i. Never subject this lter to pressure in

excess of this amount, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests.

When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed

ltration and plumbing system, insure that the MAXIMUM PRESSURE that the ltration system

will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF

ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In most cases, the

maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.

If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME

approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the

lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.

SECTION II. FILTER OPERATION AND CLEANING

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. This lter operates under pressure. When clamped properly and operated without air in the

circulating system, this lter will operate in a safe manner.

2. The maximum working pressure of this lter is 50 p.s.i. Never subject this lter to pressure in

excess of this amount - even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests.

When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the

completed ltration and plumbing system, insure that the MAXIMUM PRESSURE that the

ltration system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING

PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM.

In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.

If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME

approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the

lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.

THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE

CIRCULATING SYSTEM (e.g., FILTER LID, PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC.) IS SERVICED,

AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED. PRESSURIZED AIR

CAN CAUSE THE LID TO SEPARATE FROM THE TANK BOTTOM WHICH CAN RESULT

IN SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL

HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. BEFORE REPOSITIONING VALVES AND BEFORE BEGINNING THE ASSEMBLY,

DISASSEMBLY, OR ADJUSTMENT OF THE CLAMP OR ANY OTHER SERVICE

OF THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM: (A) TURN THE PUMP OFF AND SHUT OFF ANY

AUTOMATIC CONTROLS TO ASSURE THE SYSTEM IS NOT INADVERTENTLY

STARTED DURING THE SERVICING. (B) OPEN AIR RELIEF VALVE, AND (C) WAIT

UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS RELIEVED - PRESSURE GAUGE MUST READ ZERO (0

psi).

2. WHENEVER INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE FILTER CLAMP, FOLLOW THE FILTER

CLAMP INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

3. ONCE SERVICE ON THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM IS COMPLETE, FOLLOW START-

UP INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

4. MAINTAIN CIRCULATION SYSTEM PROPERLY. REPLACE WORN OR DAMAGED

PARTS IMMEDIATELY (e.g., but not limited to, lid, knob, pressure gauge, clamping

assembly, relief valve, O-rings, etc.)

5. BE SURE THAT THE FILTER IS PROPERLY MOUNTED AND POSITIONED

ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED.

CLEAN AND CLEAR®PLUS Cartridge Filter Installation and User’s Guide

3. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the lter is operating. Maintain your pressure

gauge in good working order.

4. Clean your lter when pressure reads between 8-10 p.s.i. higher than the original starting pressure.

Your lter pressure reading will increase as it removes dirt from your pool. However, this buildup

of pressure will vary due to different bathing loads, temperature, weather conditions, etc.

a. MY ORIGINAL STARTING PRESSURE IS ___________ psi (pounds per square inch).

I SHOULD CLEAN THE FILTER CARTRIDGE ELEMENT AT __________ psi

B. CLAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY to prevent the lid from

blowing off during system restart or later operation:

1. Perform the following procedures before working on any part of the circulating system (e.g.,

clamp, pump, lter, valves, etc.).

a. Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not

inadvertently started during servicing.

b. Open the High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve.

c. Wait until all pressure is relieved. Never attempt to assemble, disassemble or adjust the

lter clamp while there is any pressure in the lter.

2. Be certain the O-ring is in position in the lower tank half. Place the lter lid over the lower tank

half sandwiching the O-ring in between.

3. Holding the ends of the lter clamp apart,

position the center segment of the lter

clamp over both upper and lower tank

anges. Bring the ends of the lter clamp

together and insert the T-Bolt into the

trunnion; see Figure 2.

4. Using Figure 2 as a guide, place washer

(large I.D.) and tension-indicating spring

on the barrel nut. Place the second washer

(small I.D.) on T-Bolt. Hand-tighten nut.

Recheck lter clamp for proper seating on

tank anges.

Figure 2

Your ﬁlter is a piece of machinery, do not tamper with it, attempt to disassemble it or otherwise

adjust it unless you fully understand it's operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the

equipment is improperly handled. Consult a pool service professional for maintenance and

service assistance.

CLEAN AND CLEAR®PLUS Cartridge Filter Installation and User’s Guide

5. Begin to tighten nut using a 7/8" wrench. Then tap around the outside of the lter clamp with

a mallet (or similar tool) to insure uniform loading and proper seating of the clamp. Continue

tapping and tightening until the spring coils touch each other. Do not tighten beyond this point.

6. Follow the procedures in Section C, System Restart Instructions.

7. The spring coils should be checked at least once per month to ensure that they continue to touch

each other, indicating that the clamp is under sufcient tension. If coils fail to touch repeat Step

B.5 in this section, above.

C. SYSTEM RESTART INSTRUCTIONS

1. Open the High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve until it snaps into the full open position

(this only requires a quarter turn counter-clockwise). Opening this valve rapidly releases air

trapped in the lter.

2. Stand clear of the lter tank, then start the pump.

3. Close the manual air relief valve after a steady stream of water appears.

4. The system is not working properly if either of the following conditions occur.

a. A solid stream of water does not appear within 30 seconds after the pump's inlet basket lls

with water.

b. The pressure gauge indicates pressure before water outow appears.

If either condition exists, shut off the pump immediately, open valves in the water

return line to relieve pressure, and clean the air relief valve, see Section F, Cleaning the

manual air relief valve. If the problem persists, call (800) 831-7133 for assistance.

THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE

CIRCULATING SYSTEM (e.g., FILTER LID, PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC.) IS SERVICED,

AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN

CAUSE THE LID TO SEPARATE FROM THE TANK BOTTOM WHICH CAN RESULT IN

SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD,

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CLEAN AND CLEAR®PLUS Cartridge Filter Installation and User’s Guide

D. CLEANING FILTER MANUALLY

1. Turn the pump off, shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently

started during servicing.

2. Open the lter High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve (and the waste drain valve or plug, if your

system has one).

3. Remove hair and lint strainer pot lid and clean basket. Replace basket and secure lid.

4. Disconnect air relief valve drain hose if installed.

5. Release tank clamp assembly and remove tank lid.

6. Remove top manifold and cartridge element separately.

7. Using a garden hose without a nozzle, direct water spray at cartridge element to dislodge and

wash away accumulated foreign matter. Flush each cartridge inside and out.

8. Lift bottom manifold out of the tank and ush off any debris.

9. Direct water spray to wash out the inside of the tank body. Water and debris will drain out through

the open drain port.

10. Check gasket around outer lip of bottom plate. Gasket must be rmly and evenly set in place. Do

not use petroleum base lubricants to avoid damage to the gasket.

11. Place bottom manifold, 4 cartridges, top manifold and air relief tube in place. Make sure the

spring and standpipe assembly are retained on the top manifold. Ensure the air relief tube stays in

an upright position. This is essential for the maximum air removal from inside the tank.

12. Be certain the O-ring is in position in the lower tank half. Press the lter lid over the lower tank

half and sandwich the O-ring in between.

13. Replace tank top and carefully follow instructions in Section B, Clamp Installation Instructions.

14. Replace drain plug and reinstall air relief valve drain hose if used.

Please heed all manufacturers' posted instructions, warnings and cautions when using

polyhexamethylene biguanide sanitizers or other cartridge ﬁlter cleaner solutions.

Failure to remove all oils and cleaning solutions before acid soaking will result in permanent

restriction of water ﬂow through the ﬁlter and will cause premature cartridge failure.

The following information should be read carefully since it outlines the proper manner of care

and operation for your ﬁlter system. As a result of following these instructions and taking the

necessary preventative care, you can expect maximum efﬁciency and life from your ﬁltration

system.

Operating the ﬁlter system without ﬁlter internal components installed can allow air to

accumulate within the ﬁlter. Pressurized air can cause the lid to blow off which can result

in severe injury, death or property damage. Always operate ﬁlter system with ﬁlter internal

components installed.

CLEAN AND CLEAR®PLUS Cartridge Filter Installation and User’s Guide

E. REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGES

Filter cartridge element life will vary with pool conditions such as bather load, wind,

dust, etc. You can expect an average cartridge life of 3 years under normal conditions.

1. To replace cartridge element follow steps in Section D, Cleaning Filter, eliminating step D.7.

F. CLEANING THE MANUAL AIR RELIEF VALVE

1. Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to

ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during

servicing.

2. OPEN THE HIGH FLOW™ MANUAL AIR

RELIEF VALVE UNTIL IT SNAPS INTO THE

FULL OPEN POSITION, THEN WAIT UNTIL

ALL PRESSURE IS RELIEVED.

3. With the relief valve attached to the lter tank, pull out the

locking tabs and remove the valve stem and cover assembly

with a counter-clockwise and lifting motion, see Figure 3.

4. Clean debris from the valve stem and body. Verify that the

lter tank's air passage is open by inserting a 5/16" drill

bit through the valve body. Verify that the O-rings are in

good condition, properly positioned, and lubricated with a

silicone base lubricant.

5. Reinstall the valve stem and cover assembly with a

downward and clockwise motion until it snaps into

position.

SECTION III. TROUBLESHOOTING

A. Air entering your lter is dangerous and can cause the lid to blow off. Correct any conditions in your

ltration system that allow air to enter the system.

1. Some common ways to identify air entering the system:

a. Low water level in pool or spa - skimmer is starving for water with pump running. Add water

to pool or spa.

b. Air bubbles or low water level in pump hair and lint pot are caused by: low water level,

clogged skimmer basket, split suction cleaner hose, leak in pump hair and lint pot lid, or leak

in pump suction line.

c. Air bubbles coming out of water return lines into pool or spa with pump running, see items

1.a and 1.b of this section.

d. Air is discharged from the air relief valve on top of the lter when the valve is opened with

the pump running, see items 1.a and 1.b of this section, above.
