A. LOCATION OF FILTER AND
PUMP SELECTION
B. PLUMBING
1. If lter is installed above the waterline, use self-priming pump.
2. Position Filter as close to pool as local codes allow.
3. Ensure lter is set on level concrete slab.
4. Make sure pressure gauge and label are oriented for convenient access and viewing
5. Ensure that proper clearance is allowed on sides and top of lter.
a. Minimum of 14” vertical overhead clearance to allow removal of lter cartridge for cleaning
b. Minimum of 6” around perimeter of lter body recommended for servicing of lter element.
1. Ball Valve recommended before pump and after lter
2. Inlet and outlet connection are 2” Schedule 40 Socket
3. Filter body is made out of ABS material. If mating pipe is PVC, use ABS to PVC
Glue.

D. STARTUP PROCEDURES
E. WHEN YOU CLEAN YOUR FILTER
1. Pressure gauge
a. Hole in cover is already pre-tapped. Apply PTFE (Teon®) tape to pressure gauge threads and
screw gauge into threads on cover.
2. CMP recommends 1 gallon per minute (gpm) per square foot of lter for proper ltration.
a. 50 sq ft lter = 50 gpm
b. Pair lter with appropriately sized pump for optimal lter performance.
c. Too much ow rate through cartridge lter may decrease desired performance
of lter system. Exceeding recommended ow rate may damage the lter element and/or water
features in line with lter.
3. Apply O-ring lube to Oring on cover.
4. Tighten down cover until locking tab is secure.
5. Do not over-tighten.
6. Check for leaks in system before operating.
7. WARNING Maximum recommended pressure is 50 psi.
1. Monitor pressure dierence from when the lter was originally installed.
a. If pressure rises 10 psi or greater, check lter element and clean or replace if necessary.
b. If ow drops below desired rate, check lter element and clean or replace if necessary.
c. WARNING Do not allow pressure to exceed 50 psi
2. MY ORIGINAL STARTING PRESSURE IS ____________ PSI. I SHOULD CLEAN MY FILTER AT _________ PSI
3. Flow rate and pressure may not always indicate when lter needs to be cleaned.
4. Check your lter if you notice any other performance variation besides psi change.
1. WARNING Make sure both suction and discharge valves are in the open position.
2. Open manual air relief valve (3 turns counter clockwise)
a. Air will vent out of the discharge outlet to the pool and through the manual relief valve.
b. Once all air is out of the system, close manual relief air valve. Pressure gauge should read “0” psi.
3. Record starting pressure of the system. This may help provide an indicator of when the lter needs
to be cleaned.

CLEANING
1. Shut o pump. Ensure pump is locked out and cannot be operated.
2. Ensure ball valves are closed.
3. Open air relief valve (3 turns counter clockwise) and allow pressure to vent.
a. WARNING Exercise caution when opening lter cover. Contents may be under pressure.
Verify that pressure reads “0” psi before proceeding.
4. Drain lter body by removing drain plug at the base of the lter.
5. Unscrew locking ring counter clockwise that holds cover in place.
6. Remove cover and lter element.
7. Remove any debris that has collected from the bottom of the lter body.
8. Clean or replace lter element in lter body.
9. Re-install cartridge lter element in lter body.
10. Repeat “Startup Procedures.”
1. This CMP Water Feature Filter is not designed to be the main source of ltration.
2. The pressure gauge is the primary indicator as to how the lter is functioning. Maintain the pressure
gauge in good working order and replace if necessary.
3. Consult with your local recreational water professional on recirculation
requirements.
1. Filter element can be cleaned by rinsing the inside and out with a garden hose.
a. Do not use a pressure washer as excessive pressure may cause damage to the lter element.
2. Allow lter to dry and brush pleated surfaces to remove small particles using Cartridge Filter Clean-
ing Tool (25300-009-000 sold separately).
3. For a more thorough cleaning (to remove algae, oils, and minerals), soak cartridge in a lter element
cleaner. You can purchase a variety of dierent brands at your local pool dealer.
a. Rinse thoroughly before re-installing the lter in the lter body.
