IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Consumer Information and Safety
The Quad D.E. Filters are designed and manufactured to provide many years of safe and reliable service when installed,
operated and maintained according to the information in this manual and the installation codes referred to in later
sections. Throughout the manual, safety warnings and cautions are identified by the “ “ symbol. Be sure to read and
comply with all of the warnings and cautions.
WARNING —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, however each installation may have unique conditions where the starting procedure
could be different. Failure to follow all operating instructions and warning messages can result
in severe injury, death, or property damage.
WARNING —THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., clamp, pump, filter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air
can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to be blown off
which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow
these instructions:
1. Before repositioning valve(s) 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 ensure the system is NOT inadvertently started during the
servicing; (B) open the High Flow™ manual air relief valve; (C) wait until all pressure is relieved.
2. Whenever installing the filter clamp FOLLOW THE FILTER CLAMP INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete FOLLOW SYSTEM RESTART
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately,
(e.g., clamp, pressure gauge, valve(s), o-rings, etc).
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to instructions provided.
