Product Specifications
Compatibility and Fitment

- Inability to safely maintain normal system pressure
Important Safety and Installation Information
Pool filters operate under pressure. Always shut off the circulation pump, disconnect electrical power, close applicable valves, and fully relieve internal pressure before opening or servicing the filter.
Inspect the filter clamp, seals, grids, internal components, air-relief assembly, and plumbing connections during replacement. Worn or damaged supporting parts should be replaced as needed.
Installation should follow the applicable Pentair service instructions. Professional pool-equipment installation is recommended when replacing a pressure-containing filter component.
