Pro Tip

Match the pump and plumbing to ensure system flow remains appropriate for this 150 sq ft filter — Pentair recommends not exceeding ~150 GPM for this series. Leave at least ~76″ of vertical clearance above the filter lid for cartridge removal. Periodically check and lubricate the O-ring and lock ring to avoid leaks and ensure smooth servicing.

Installation Tips

High-level safety/compatibility notes only: Ensure all system power is off and pressure relieved before servicing or installing. Confirm the equipment pad is level and rated for the filter plus water load. Verify plumbing ports match the filter’s 2″ (or 2″ × 2½″) connection and that the tank’s vertical clearance (~76″) is available. Lubricate the O-ring and ensure the lock-ring is properly seated before restoring pump power.
