Filter
Only a qualified service person should install the Quad D.E. Filter.
General Information
1. The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the filter so that instructions, warnings and
the pressure gauge are visible to the operator. It also should be positioned so that the piping connections,
control valve and drain port are convenient and accessible for servicing and winterizing.
2. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers, control systems, etc.) at least five (5) feet from the
filter. This will allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during system start up.
3. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual verification that the clamp is properly installed
around the tank flanges, see Figure 1.
a. Tap the clamp with a mallet or similar tool to ensure uniform loading during clamp tightening.
4. Allow sufficient space above the filter to remove the filter lid for cleaning and servicing. This distance will
vary with the model of filter you are using. See Table 1 for the required vertical clearance.
WARNING —Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
Position the filter and High Flow™ manual 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.
5. Position the filter to safely direct water drainage. Rotate the High Flow™ manual air relief valve to safely
direct purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an
electrical hazard as well as damage property.
CAUTION — The Pentair Quad D.E. filter has a different water flow pattern than all other Pentair D.E. filters. When
plumbing the filter with a backwash valve, one of the following valves, listed below, must be used. Failure
to use the correct backwash valve could damage the filter elements and void the warranty.
6. Your filter requires one of the following Pentair Water Pool and Spa accessories which must be purchased
separately:
a. P/N 261055 - 2” Multiport Valve Kit
