The equipment room should be well ventilated and provided with adequate drainage capabilities so that should an emergency occur, resulting in flooding from
a pipe, filter or pump, the water can be easily removed to avoid property damage. If drainage cannot be supplied directly from the equipment room, consider-
ation should be given to the installation of alternate system to remove water from the mechanical room, per federal, state and local codes.
Filter Installation
Move the filter(s) into place using whatever means available. Do not use the manway cover or opening to maneuver the filter. Be sure to use care if moving
by hand. Before continuing, be sure that the filter(s) are in the desired location with the connections facing the direction necessary for proper installation. It
is also very important to make sure that the filter is sitting on a level, hard surface. It is possible that during transportation, some internal components have
loosened. It will be necessary to remove the filter manway cover and enter the filter, being careful not to break any of the connections. By hand, check the
tightness of all the laterals in the bottom of the filter making sure they are firmly tightened.
Tank Positioning
Chalk lines are recommended for multiple tank installations and should be laid for positioning each tank. Attention must be paid to the location and routing
of the influent, effluent and waste line plumbing when planning the proper location of the filter system. The tanks must be level and parallel to each other or
damage may occur to filter tanks, operating valves or connecting piping. Anchor bolts, nuts and flat washers can be purchased. Anchor bolts must be installed
and secured to comply with the requirement of specific seismic zones. If the filter room floor is not level, shims must be used to level the tanks or the face
piping plumbing connections may break or leak.
Position the tank in the desired location, drill anchor bolt holes, and install anchor bolts, washers and nuts. Tighten nuts to secure filter system.
Removing the Manway Cover
WARNING This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional. Your filter comes with a filter
manway cover pre installed from the factory. For qualified pool professionals only: If filter manway cover needs to be ser-
viced, follow these instructions carefully.
1. Turn off all system circulation pumps and all electrical power in the equipment controls.
2. Set all system valves in a position to prevent water from flowing to the filter.
3. The manual air bleed valve (vent valve) must be placed in the OPEN position.
4. Wait until all water leakage has stopped.
5. While holding the manway cover by the finger holes, rotate the knob portion of the manway cover yoke counterclock-
wise until released from the manway cover.
6. Push the manway cover into the filter tank, rotate cover.
7. Remove the manway cover from the tank, a slight rocking motion may be required to clear the internal piping in the
filter tank.
Re-installation of the Manway Cover
1. Check the seals, replace as needed.
2. With a clean cloth, wipe upper filter body manway seat. Remove all dirt and debris.
3. Insert the manway cover into the filter tank, hold the manway cover by the finger holes.
4. Rotate the manway cover into position, a slight rocking motion may be required to clear internal piping in the filter tank.
5. Reseat the manway cover into filter tank, make sure seal is inserted in groove all around manway cover and making contact with filter tank manway seat
for full surface of seal.
6. Attach knob bolt to manway cover ensuring proper insertion through yoke and proper seating of yoke onto flat areas of filter tank bezel.
7. Rotate knob portion of the manway cover yoke clockwise to energize seal.
8. Verify the air bleed discharge points away from all electrical connections.
Testing Filter
Before adding any sand to the filter, it is very important to test the system with water only. All filters are tested with high pressure before leaving the factory.
It is important to test the system without sand first, to check for leaks. Open the vent valve. Fill the system with water. When water stream (not water and air)
is discharged from the vent valve, close vent valve. Run system as normal and check for leaks. If there is a problem with the test, contact Hayward customer
service immediately. If sand is added before the test and there is a problem with the filter, the sand will need to be evacuated in order to inspect for potential
damage. Hayward will not be responsible for the removal and replacement of the sand for warranty or repair work, nor will Hayward provide labor to evacuate
and replace the sand for repair work done due to transportation or installation damage. This is also a good chance to check all of the plumbing for the system.
Do not drain the water from the filter after the testing sequence.
