Equipment that is incorrectly pressure tested may fail, causing severe injury or property damage. Pressure
testing should only be conducted by trained pool/spa professionals.
Chemical fumes and spills can weaken pool/spa equipment. Corrosion can cause pumps, lters and other
equipment to fail, resulting in severe injury or property damage. Do not store pool chemicals near your
equipment.

INSTALLATION
1. Check carton and lter components for damage. If anything is damaged, notify the carrier immediately.
2. Wrap one to two turns of Teon tape around the thread of the pressure gauge. Screw the pressure
gauge into the threaded hole on the tank.
3. Filtration equipment should be located as close to the pool/spa as possible. Locate the lter on a at
concrete slab in a well ventilated area free from ooding. Ensure there is adequate drainage.
4. Align the lter so the inlet and outlet are positioned as required.
Connect the lter inlet to the pump outlet.
5. Install electrical controls away from pool equipment
for access in case of emergency.
6. Allow sufcient clearance around and above the lter
to allow for removal of the top section of the tank.
7. To reduce pressure losses, use as few bends, elbows
and ttings as possible. Select the appropriate pipe
grade as specied by local regulations.
8. Use a minimum of 50mm (2 inch) UPVC piping or larger.
9. Piping should be independently supported to reduce
strain on the lter.
10. Do not use tools to tighten the half unions.
Hand-tighten only.
START UP AND OPERATION
Fulo Cartridge Filter Start Up
The following steps should be carried out for the rst run of a new season or after the lter has been
reassembled.
1. Ensure the pump is off. Fill the pump’s hair and lint pot with water and replace the lid.
2. Loosen (do not remove) the air release valve on the top of the lter.
3. Turn the pump on to circulate water through the system. When a steady amount of water comes
out through the top of the air release valve, close the air release valve. All the air will have been
purged from inside the lter.
Normal Operation
If the pump loses its prime, you will need to follow the procedure set out for the lter start up. See Section
2.1.
As the dirt load in the lter increases, the pressure gauge reading will rise. When the value has risen 50kPa,
you will need to clean the lter. Refer to Maintenance.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Fulo Cartridge Filter
A general check of the lter and the pressure gauge should be carried out at least once a week.
When the pressure gauge reading has risen by 50kPa it is recommended that the cartridge be cleaned.
To do this, follow the procedure below.
1. With the pump off, loosen the air release valve on top of the lter to release pressure from the system.
2. Undo and remove the clamp around the middle of the
lter tank by turning the knob anticlockwise.
3. Lift the top portion of the tank up and off
the bottom portion, taking care not to
damage the cartridge(s) inside.
4. Remove the cartridge(s), caps and
spacer and hose down with a garden
hose until clean. You may also wish
to use a specialised lter cleaning
solution to remove debris not ushed
away during cleaning. Speak to your
local pool professional or contact Waterco.
5. Replace the cartridge(s), caps and spacer.
6. Replace the tank top ensuring the o ring is
seated correctly.
7. Replace the clamp and secure by turning
the knob clockwise.
8. Follow the steps in Section 2.1 to restart the system.
Over time, cleaning the cartridge will become less effective. If you notice the pool water is not looking as
clean, or the pressure remains high, it may be benecial to purchase a new cartridge.
WINTERISING THE FILTER
To protect the lter and connecting piping from damage due to freezing conditions follow the procedure
below.
1. Turn off the pump and disconnect from the power supply as per pump instructions.
2. Loosen the air release valve on top of the lter to release pressure from the system.
3. Undo the half union at the base of the lter to drain the water from the lter.
4. Drain the piping of all water.
5. Protect the lter from the weather.
