INSTALLATION
This product should be installed and serviced only by a
WARNING qualified professional.
Only simple tools (screwdriver and wrenches), plus pipe sealant
for plastic adapters, are required to install and/or service the
filter.
1. The filter system should be installed on a level concrete slab
or other rigid base. Select a well drained and vented area,
one that does not flood when it rains. Position the filter so
that the piping connections, and winter drain are convenient
and accessible for operation, service, maintenance and
winterizing.
2. Position filter so the filter will drain by gravity.
3. If practical, place pump and filter in the shade to shield it
from continuous, direct heat from the sun.
4. Assemble appropriate Filter Control valve (See Page 10 for
selection) to filter. Lubricate the O-ring first (we recommend
using Jack’s 327 Lubricant). Align the two (2) valve pipe
connections, with O-rings in place, with the two openings in
the side of the filter tank and press in firmly. Secure the
assembly to the tank connections with the two bulkhead lock
nuts. Do not over-tighten.
5. Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer,
pool outlet and the pump.
6. Install the pool return plumbing.
7. If pressure gauge is not installed, apply Teflon tape to the
gauge threads and carefully screw the gauge into the gauge
adapter assembly.
8. Do not locate pump controls over or near filter.
9. Verify water discharge from the filter manual air relief valve is
directed away from electrical devices

Pre-Coating
Add the correct amount of D.E. (see specifications on the front page of this manual or on the filter label) into the system
through the skimmer – as fast as the plumbing will take it. Record the pressure gauge reading after the D.E. has been
added. This is the “pre-coat” or “clean” pressure.
OPERATION
WARNING
FILTERING
Filtration starts as soon as the filter has been pre-coated. As the filter removes
dirt from the pool water, the accumulated dirt causes a resistance to flow. As a
result, the gauge pressure will rise and the flow will decrease. When the
pressure rises 8-10 psi (.55-.69 bar) above the pre-coat pressure, it is time to
backwash (clean) the filter. Once your filter is running and there is a pressure
reading, line up the green arrow with the current reading. (See Fig 3) When the
pressure rises to or above the red or second arrow, it is time to clean your filter.
Note: During initial clean-up of the pool, particularly with a new pool or a very
dirty pool, it may be necessary to backwash more frequently due to the heavy Figure 3
initial dirt load in the water.
USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

To prevent unnecessary strain on piping system and valves, always shut off pump before switching Filter
Control Valve positions.
MANUAL CLEANING
Before manually cleaning the filter, backwash by following BACKWASHING instructions under each type of
valve.
WARNING
This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.
Clamp Nut
Notice: •Do not use any petroleum solvents to clean filter components.
•Do not lubricate DEX2422Z2 Seal.
WARNING
This product should be installed and serviced only by a
qualified professional.
VACUUMING
Vacuuming can be performed directly into the filter whenever Clamp Nut
needed. Backwash filter after vacuuming, if required.
