CAUTION
All components of the filtration system including Pumps, Filters, Heaters
must be positioned so to prevent being used as means of access to the
pool by young children. To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to
use or climb on this product. Closely supervise children at all times.
WARNING - HAZARDOUS PRESSURE.
Pool and Spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure
during start up, normal operation, and after pump shut off. Stand clear of
circulation system equipment during pump start-up. Failure to follow safety
and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump
housing and cover, and/or filter housing and clamp due to pressure in the
system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or
death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation systems, all system
and pump controls must be in the off position and filter manual relief valve
must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all system valves
must be set in a position that allows system water to return back to the pool.
Do not change filter control valve position whilst system pump is operating.
Before starting system pump, fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not
close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air) is
discharged.
WARNING
Cleaning your filter is essential to providing clean, safe and healthy
swimming water. A regular cleaning program is highly recommended
especially in Commercial applications, the time between cleans and
length of cleaning time will depend on size of pool, bather load and other
environmental conditions. Discuss with your local pool professional to work
out a program that best suits your pool.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
ELECTROCUTION.
Ensure that you position the filter to allow for the air/water bleed valve
located in the lid to safely direct water drainage and purged air or water.
Water discharged from an improperly position filter can create an electrical

HOW IT WORKS
Your Insnrg Di Filter is designed to use the high quality filter
elements to remove dirt particles from pool water. These
elements are specifically designed for your Insnrg ultra fine Di
filter and if looked after will provide you with years
of trouble free operation. The pool water which contains dirt
particles is pumped through your system to the filter. As pool
water passes through the filter, dirt particles will be caught by
the filter element and removed from the water. The cleaned
pool water is returned back to the pool through your piping
system. The entire process is continuous and automatic. It is
this process that provides the filtration and removal of organic
material such as dust, dirt and fine particles in your pool water.
Your Di ultra fine filter uses Perlite to coat the elements and will
ensure the removal of even finer particles as small as 4 micron
resulting in water that is crystal clear, healthy and safe for your
whole family to enjoy.
During this process, dirt will accumulate in the filter element
and gradually increase the pressure in the tank and reduce the
flow of water through your filtration system. This means it is time
to clean your filter element. A good indication when to clean
the filter element is by checking the pressure gauge reading.
Cleaning should be performed when you notice the pressure has
increased by 5 PSI or 35 kPa from when it was clean. Following
the cleaning procedure for the best results.

The filter should be installed as close to the pool as possible but
keep a distance of at least 1.5m (5 feet). Locate the Filter on rigid,
level surface, preferably in a dry, shaded, and well- ventilated
area. Prior to installation take into consideration the following
conditions:
• Position of suction and return PVC connections
• Access for cleaning operation and servicing, particularly
• important if installing under a deck or roof structure that
enough space is provided to remove the elements for
cleaning
• The operation of the Air-Bleed will discharge water from the
filter, you must position the filter so none of this water can
come in contact with electrical devices and cause electric
shock or electrocution
• Protection from sun, rain, splashing etc
• Drainage of filter room
• Ventilation and protection of the full filtration system
INSTALLATION AND
START-UP PROCEDURE

10
Depending on your choice of Filter, there are a couple of options
for the installation. Your local Pool Professional will be able to
confirm with you the best method for your pool and application.
1) Top Inlet, Bottom Outlet
2) Installation of optional back wash valve assembly
TOP INLET, BOTTOM OUTLET
This is the standard way the product is supplied in the
carton and therefore, no changes are needed to the
internals of the Filter prior to starting up. Follow these
steps:
1) Place the Filter Tank in position.
2) Line up the PVC pipe from the Pump with the Top Inlet
on the Cartridge Filter and use Lock Nut and Tail to install.
3) Identify the Bottom outlet on the filter and connect the
PVC pipe with Lock Nut and Tail.
4) Identify the Drain Plug and install using the Blanking Cap
and Lock Nut provided.
5) Replace Elements into Tank with manifold.
6) Replace Lid onto Tank and tighten. Do not overtighten
as this could cause tank to warp and product to leak.
7) Install Pressure Gauge into Lid.

11
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE NOW
INSTALLED YOUR NEW INSNRG FILTER.
8) Install Air-Bleed into Lid. Do not tighten at this stage,
we need to allow air to escape once water starts flowing
through the Filter.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.
Ensure that you position the filter to allow for the air/water bleed valve
located in the lid to safely direct water drainage and purged air or
water. Water discharged from an improperly position filter can create
an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal injury as well as
damage property.
9) Check that all other fittings in the filtration system are
correct and ready for operation. Make sure are Valves
that you closed are re-opened ready for filtration.
10) Turn on Pump. Prior to starting the filtration process
by turning on the pump, we highly recommend that you
read through the pump instruction manual to ensure
proper installation and to avoid the risk of electric
shock.
11) Water will start to move through Filter and release
Air through the Air-Bleed. Once a full stream of water
comes through the Air-Bleed tighten to seal.
12) Check for any other leaks and tighten as necessary.

12
BACK WASH VALVE
ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
To make the removal and replacement of the Perlite Filter Media
as easy as possible, the optional backwash valve assembly can
be installed. The installation of this valve makes maintenance of
a Di Filter as easy as possible. Follow these steps:
1) Place the Filter Tank in position identified above. Make sure
there is enough room to mount the Multiport Control Valve on
the front of the DE Filter and be easy to access when needing to
adjust for cleaning.
2) Assemble the backwash valve assembly using the supplied
union lock nuts. Assembly the 2 way valve using the supplied
union lock nut on the drain port at the bottom of the filter. Glue
the backwash line into the two way valve port at the bottom of
the filter. The backwash pipe connection should be 50mm high
pressure PVC and elbows and change of direction should be
limited.

INSTALLING START-UP PERLITE MEDIA
(DI FILTER ONLY)
Your Insnrg Di 80 Filter requires Perlite to enhance the filtration
and give you the cleanest, clearest, healthiest swimming water.
Your supplied filter elements must be pre-coated with the
Perlite to provide the most efficient filtering action. Refer to the
table below for proper quantity to use with your filter.
We highly recommend the use of Perlite which is specifically
sold and labelled for use with swimming pools and spas, these
can be obtained from your local pool and spa professional.
To pre-coat your filter elements with Perlite, please follow
these steps:
1. Make sure the Pump in ON and the water is being directed
through the Di Filter
2. Obtain a minimum 10 Litre (2.5 Gallon) Bucket and a 500
ml (16 oz) container. A 500 ml (16 oz) sized container will hold
approximately 225 gm (1/2 lb) of Perlite. Do NOT pack or
compress the Perlite into the container.
3. Half fill your Bucket with pool water and then place 3 x
containers of Perlite into the Bucket
Model Weight of

4. Mix Perlite into water using a mixing tool such as a stick or
handle
5. Once mixed, pour slowly into the Skimmer Basket
6. Repeat steps 3-5 another 4 times to achieve a total of 12
containers of Perlite
7. Continue to Filter the Pool for at least another 4 hours to
ensure Perlite is fully applied to the Filter Elements
8. Note the Pressure Gauge reading for reference when needing
to clean
YOUR INSNRG Di80 FILTER IS NOW
FULLY READY FOR OPERATION.

16
OTHER IMPORTANT INSTALLATION TIPS
1. Never subject the filter to pressure in excess of the maximum working
pressure, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure testing. Pressures
above the maximum working PSI/kPa pressures can cause the lid to
be blown off and result in severe injury, death or property damage.
Maximum working pressure is 50 PSI / 350 kPa.
2. The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position
the filter so that the instructions, warning and pressure gauge are
visible to the operator. It should also be positioned so that the piping
connections, control valve and drain port are convenient and accessible
for servicing and winterizing.
3. Install electrical controls (timers, Chlorinators, power points) at least
1.8m / 6 ft from the filter. This will allow you enough room to stand clear
of the filter during start up.
4. All filter connections are provided with an gasket / o-ring seal. To
avoid damage to the gasket / o-rings, use only a silicone base lubricant.
Do not use any other substances as it will degrade the gasket / o-ring
and reduce its performance and lifespan.
5. Install the pressure gauge (supplied with the filter) into the marked
hole in the lid, the use of Teflon tape will improve the seal on the gauge
thread.
6. If the filter is installed below water level, isolation valves must be
installed on the inlet & outlet to enable the filter to be dismantled for
cleaning without the loss of water from the pool or spa.
7. It is recommended that a 3 way valve be installed on the return line to
allow draining of water from the pool or spa when necessary.

CLEANING YOUR FILTER
ELEMENTS
WARNING
Cleaning your Cartridge and/or DE Filter is essential to providing clean,
safe and healthy swimming water. A regular cleaning program is highly
recommended especially in Commercial applications, the time between
cleans and length of cleaning time will depend on size of pool, bather
load and other environmental conditions. Discuss with your local pool
professional to work out a program that best suits your pool.
The Di Filter Elements require cleaning when the water flow
through the filtration system reduces or reading on the pressure
gauge increases by 5 PSI or 35 kPa from the original operating
pressure when the filter element was clean.
In you have a Di Filter without a Backwash Valve assembly to clean
your filter elements, you must follow these steps below. If you have
a Di Filter with a Backwash valve assembly please refer to the steps
outlined in this section later in the manual:
1. Stop the pump (disconnect power to pump) and close any
valves on the suction and return lines to prevent water being lost,
particularly if your filtration system is below the pool water line.
2. Open the air bleed valve (located in the filter lid). Allow all
pressure to be relieved.

20
3. Loosen the Lock Ring around the Lid and remove from the
filter.
4. Carefully remove the filter element from the filter. It is
important that you treat the element carefully to ensure
effective cleaning and a long life span. Any damage done
during cleaning is not covered by the product warranty.
5. Clean the elements by using a garden hose to remove any
debris, dust, organic material from the element pleats. It is
important to get into the pleats as most debris is positioned
well inside the element. An alternate may to clean the
element is to soak in a mild solution of cartridge element
cleaner which can be purchased from your local pool
professional and then hose off with water.
6. Replace the clean element into the filter ensuring it is
correctly located on the bottom spigot of the filter.
7. Clean the filter lid o-ring before refitting, ensure it is free
from dirt.
8. Place the lid carefully over the elements and lower onto the
lower body of the filter. Ensure o-ring stays in place.
9. Use a rubber mallet to tap the clamp band into positon
around the filter flange as the stainless steel screw is
tightened. Tighten firmly with a wrench. Use a rubber mallet to
tap the clamp band into positon around the filter flange as the
