INSTALLATION OF VIRON CL SERIES
1. Install Cartridge filter on a clean, stable and level
base on which the circulation pump is located.
2. The CL Cartridge Filter has two 50mm water
connections. The 2 inlet ports (from pump) are
located at the bottom of the filter. The 2 outlet ports
are located on the opposite side of the filter. The
inlets and outlets are marked on the tank. The un-
used inlet and outlet ports should be capped using
the caps provided. For installations where the flow
rate is above 350 litres per minute, both Inlet and
outlet ports may be used. The PVC pipe can be
manifolded together to achieve a maximum flow
rate of 700 litres per minute.
3. Allow a minimum on one hour for glue to dry.
4. Using Teflon tape, screw pressure gauge into lid.
5. If the filter is installed below water level, isolation valves must be installed on the inlet and outlet to enable
the filter to be dismantled for cleaning without the loss of water from the pool or spa.
6. It is also recommended that a three way valve be installed on the return line to allow draining of water from
the pool or spa when necessary.
START UP INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Never Start Pump while lid or lock ring is loose. Never stand above filter while pump is running
–danger of lid coming off under pressure could cause serious injury or death.
1. Before start up make sure the elements are in the filter and the lid lock ring is tightened until the safety
catch locks –do not over tighten.
2. Open the suction and return line valves (where fitted).
3. Loosen the air release valve on the filter lid, start pump until water escapes the air release valve. Tighten
the air release valve and check there is a good flow of water back in the pool.
4. Clean the cartridges when the flow to the pool reduces or the pressure gauge increases by 20 kPa.

PUMP PRIMING
1. With the pump OFF, remove the lid from the pump strainer and pour in approximately 4 litres of water.
2. Replace lid.
3. If valve has been installed on the pump suction line, close before filling strainer. Open again after lid has
been securely fastened in place. Any valves on the return lines should be open. The pump should not
need to be re-primed unless the pump has been drained for servicing, or winterizing (refer to complete
pump operations manual provided with pump).
TO CLEAN FILTER CARTRIDGE
1. Stop pump-close valves on the suction and return lines.
2. Open the air bleed valve on the lid.
3. Loosen lock ring and remove cartridges.
4. Lift out cartridges. Clean the cartridge by soaking it in a mild solution of chlorine and warm water for 15
minutes and then hose off with high pressure water.
5. Replace the cartridges –carefully locating it on the bottom spigot.
6. Clean the lid ‘o’ ring. Apply a small amount of water based lubricant.
7. Place the lid onto the filter body, ensuring it is located centrally. Do not try to force lid down into place.
8. Place locking ring onto filter
9. Tighten the lock ring to pull the lid into the filter body. Approximately 3 ½ turns are required until safety
catch engages –do not over tighten.
10. Check locking ring will not loosen without releasing the locking mechanism.
11. Open the valves –start the pump.

CLEANING FREQUENCY
The Viron CL 400 and CL 600 have been designed to minimise cleaning. On average sized residential pools it is
likely cleaning will only be required once a year. However, after storms causing severe ingress of dust and debris
into the pool, or in times where earthworks and construction are taking place nearby, cleaning may be required as
often as once per month.
NEVER LOOSEN THE LOCK RING WHEN THE
PUMP IS WORKING!!!

Maintenance of your filter
Maintenance Schedule: You new product incorporates moving parts and withstands high velocity water
with chemicals in it. Some of these parts will wear in the normal course of use and require regular checks
and maintenance. Performing these checks and maintenance will identify parts that have worn and
require repair/replacement before further serious damage is sustained. A small amount of regular care
and attention to your pool equipment will help ensure long life and trouble free performance.
Timing
Maintenance Check
Service action (if required)
Fortnightly
Check pressure gauge. If pressure
increase is greater than 20kPa cleaning
may be required
In accordance with instructions, clean
elements with a high pressure cleaner or
purpose element cleaner
Three Monthly
Check inlet/outlet o’rings for leaks
Check operation of pressure gauge –salt
water can prematurely reduce the life of a
gauge
Isolate Pump, turn power off, clean and
grease O rings or replace if necessary
Replace gauge if required
Annually
Compare operating pressure of a cleaned
filter to initial pressure (when new). Also
check for signs of damage to elements
If pressure is more than 30 –40 kPa
different from cleaned elements to new
filter, replace elements
Important note: Regular maintenance is important to ensure long life and trouble free performance of your pool
equipment. If unable to perform the maintenance yourself, contact your local AstralPool office who will arrange a
trained service technician to perform the maintenance for you.
