IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
WARNING —Due to the potential risk that can be involved it is recommended that the pressure test be kept to the
minimum time required by the local code. Do not allow people to work around the system when the
circulation system is under pressure test. Post appropriate warning signs and establish a barrier
around the pressurized equipment. If the equipment is located in an equipment room, lock the door
and post a warning sign.
Never attempt to adjust any closures or lids or attempt to remove or tighten bolts when the system is
pressurized. These actions can result in a separation or failure of system components. This
instantaneous release of energy can cause components to be accelerated to high velocities and to
travel far distances. These components could cause severe personal injury or death if they were to
strike a person.
WARNINGRisk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool filter must be installed by a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Always disconnect power to the pool equipment at the circuit breaker before servicing any of the
equipment. Ensure that the disconnected circuit is locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be
switched on while you are working on the pool equipment. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
Position the filter and the air relief valve to safely direct water drainage and purged air or water. Water
discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause
severe personal injury as well as damage property.
WARNINGTo reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
CAUTION — This filter is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if
so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the
ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is
constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original
integrity.
