GENERAL INFORMATION

When to Clean the Filter
The filter module should normally be
cleaned when the pressure gauge reading
increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure
(record the start-up pressure under
“Owner’s Information”, below, right).
In some pools, accessories such as fountains or pool cleaners may be noticeably
affected by the normal decrease in flow as
the filter becomes dirty. If so, clean the filter more frequently (that is, at a pressure
increase of less than 10 PSI) in order to
maintain the required flow.

• Clean a new pool as well as possible before filling pool and operating filter.
Excess dirt and large particles of foreign matter in the system can cause serious damage to the filter and pump.
• With a modular Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filter in place and operating correctly, clean water is returned to the pool faster than pool water is being
contaminated. A typical pool installation will require approximately one
week to obtain and maintain the sparkle that your filter is capable of giving
you.
• Do not use more than the recommended amount of DE in your filter. Excess
DE can cause a buildup of DE and “bridging” between the pleats which will
plug the filter.
• Maximum pressure is 50 PSI (345 kPa). DO NOT connect the filter to a city
water system or to an individual water well system.
Hazardous pressure. Open air release valve to vent all air
from system before operating system. NEVER operate filter with air
trapped inside.
• The Sta-Rite modular DE filter is designed to filter water for swimming pools.
On a new pool installation, we recommend:
1.Disassemble the filter after the initial cleanup.
Hazardous pressure. To prevent severe injury or major property damage, exactly follow "Filter Disassembly/Assembly Procedure" on
Pages 6 and 7.
2.Remove and hose down the element assembly to remove spent DE and
contaminants.
• Maintain pool water pH between 7.2 and 7.6.
• Make sure that internal air bleed tube and filter are clean and installed properly at top of module before operating filter.
• Make sure that Posi-Lok™ Ring is securely locked in place before operating
filter.
• Maintain pressure gauge in good working order. Replace a damaged gauge
immediately.
• Cleaning interval is based on pressure rise, not on length of time filter is operated. Different water conditions will have different normal cleaning intervals.
• Check local codes for restrictions on waste water and DE disposal requirements.
NOTICE: Some pool disinfectants may clog filter module. To maximize
module life and filter cycle time, closely follow disinfectant manufacturer’s
instructions when cleaning pool or filter (see Page 8).

INSTALLATION
Installation of filter should only be done by qualified, licensed personnel.

Assembly
• Unpack the pump or pump and base and check for transit damage.
• Open the accessory package.
• Install hoses with adapters and clamps provided in the accessory package. Run
one line from the skimmer to the pump suction port and the other line from the
filter outlet to the pool inlet fitting.

Filter mount must:
• Be solid, level, rigid, vibration free, and provide for adequate drainage.
• Be as close to pool as possible to reduce pressure loss from pipe friction.
• Be protected from excess moisture.
• Provide weather and freezing protection.
• Provide adequate ventilation to prevent motor from overheating.
• Provide space and lighting for easy access for servicing pump and piping (See
Figure 1, Page 4, for space requirements).
• Be installed with the trap suction inlet below the pool water level at all times (to
allow pump to prime).

Piping (See Figure 1B for correct connections):

NOTICE
Make sure that the filter and all piping can be drained for winterizing.
See “Winterizing”, Page 9.

• Piping must conform to local/state plumbing and sanitary codes.
• Use teflon tape, Plasto-Joint Stik®1, or Silastic RTV #732® on all male connections of plastic pipe and fittings. DO NOT use pipe compounds on plastic pipe;
it will cause the pipe to crack. Do not use sealant on unions – assemble them
dry and hand tight.
• Support pipe independently to prevent strains on filter.
• Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
• For ease of maintenance, use Sta-Rite union couplings to connect the piping to
the filter inlet and outlet ports.

and read instructions
before working on filter.

Tab

Latch

2149 1195

Figure 3 – Rotate Posi-Lok™
Ring until tab locks behind the
safety latch.

To prevent serious damage to the element fabric, NEVER run
your DE filter without a diatomaceous earth precoat!
1. Securely lock Posi-Lok™ ring in place by rotating ring CLOCKWISE until it
“clicks” past the safety latch (see Figure 3). Stop turning as soon as the ring
clicks past the latch. The ring may feel slightly loose, but it will tighten up
when pump is on and filter is under pressure.
2. Fill trap on pump with water.
3. Open air release valve on top of filter.
4. Open isolation valves.
5. Start pump to purge air from system.
6. When steady stream of water comes from air release valve, close the valve.
NOTICE: Leaking around the Posi-Lok™ ring may indicate that the ring is
not fully locked. In this case, proceed as follows:
A. Stop the pump, close the isolation valves, and open the air release valve
to release any pressure within the filter.
B. Remove the drain plug and drain all water from the filter.
C. Push down on the top of the filter to fully seat the upper tank shell.
D. Rotate the Posi-Lok™ clockwise until it locks behind the safety latch
(see Figure 3).
E. If the ring was already locked, remove it and the upper tank shell.
Inspect and clean the O-ring and all sealing surfaces. Relubricate the
O-ring.
NOTICE: Lubricate O-ring only with the silicone grease provided or equivalent, as other lubricants may cause the ring to swell. DO NOT lubricate
Posi-Lok™ ring or threads on lower tank shell as this may collect grit and
make removal difficult.
7. To prepare precoat slurry, mix diatomaceous earth (DE) and water. Use four
pounds of DE for Model PLD70; use six pounds of DE for Model PLD50.
DO NOT use more DE than recommended.
NOTICE: Using more than the recommended amount of DE will clog the
filter. Using less than the recommended amount will give an uneven precoat and shorten the life of the element.
8. Empty slurry slowly into skimmer to precoat filter element with an even filtering precoat.
After filter is operating, record filter pressure gauge reading in owner's manual
for future use.
NOTICE: When installed on a new pool, after approximately 48 hours of operation disassemble filter and clean out plaster dust , construction debris, etc.
(see “Module Cleaning Procedure", Page 8).

When to Clean the Filter
The filter module should normally be
cleaned when the pressure gauge reading
increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure
(record the start-up pressure under
“Owner’s Information”, Page 3).
In some pools, accessories such as fountains or pool cleaners may be noticeably
affected by the normal decrease in flow as
the filter becomes dirty. If so, clean the filter more frequently (that is, at a pressure
increase of less than 10 PSI) in order to
maintain the required flow.

MODULE CLEANING PROCEDURE
Risk of chemical burns. Do not attempt to acid clean the filter or
module. If the filter requires acid cleaning, have a trained pool professional do
the job.
Follow all steps in the “Disassembly” section of this manual.
The filter module should be removed and cleaned when pressure rises more
than 10 psi (69 kPa) above startup pressure. See also “When to Clean the
Filter,” at left.
NOTICE: Do not expose the filter module to sunlight for any extended period
of time.
NOTICE: When sanitizing your pool using PHMB (polyhexamethylene biquanide based) cleaners, use only PHMB cleaners to clean the module. When
using PHMB sanitizers, the filter module MUST be cleaned more thoroughly
and frequently than for a pool using chlorine. Follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Use of any other type of cleansers with PHMB pool sanitizers
will void the filter’s warranty.
NOTICE: Avoid washing filter debris into the outlet port. Remove drain plug
and flush foreign material from inside of tank before removing filter module.
1. With a hose equipped with a soft flow nozzle, wash as much dirt as possible
off of the filter module while it is still inside the tank. Allow tank to drain
completely.
2. Make sure that the inside of the tank is clean. Lift out the module and hose it
down thoroughly. Spray the entire module surface. Allow module to drain.
3. Inspect the module. If necessary, repeat the washing operation. If the module is damaged, replace it.
NOTICE: If this cleaning method does not remove all deposits, see “Special
Cleaning Instructions” section in this manual.
4. Inspect and clean air bleed filter at top of module.
5. Follow all steps in the “Assembly” and “Initial Startup” sections of this manual.

Special Cleaning Instructions:
Use this procedure to clean scale or oils which are not removed by hosing
down module. Be sure to dispose of spent chemicals according to all applicable codes and waste disposal ordinances. Use a soft stream nozzle to minimize
flying water and spray.
Risk of fire or explosion. Isolate filter from system before chemical cleaning; rinse filter and elements completely before returning to service.
If filter cannot be isolated, remove media and clean at another location. Follow
chemical manufacturer’s instructions for use. Do not mix chemicals except as
directed by manufacturer. Do not allow cleaning chemicals to mix with or to
come in contact with chlorine, bromines, other chemicals, or chemical feed
devices.
1. Sponge or spray the module according to chemical manufacturer’s directions.
2. If soaking is required, remove the module from the filter tank and submerge
it in a separate tank. Follow cleaner manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
3. After completing chemical manufacturer’s instructions, drain and rinse the
module completely. Dispose of cleaners in accordance with local codes and
disposal ordinances.
4. Rinse the inside of the filter tank. Drain it completely.

SYSTEM INSPECTION
General:
Wash the outside of the filter with a mild detergent and water. Rinse off with a
hose.
NOTICE: DO NOT use solvents to clean the filter; solvents may damage plastic components in the system.
NOTICE: Open the air bleed valve and bleed all air from the filter each time
the pump is stopped and restarted.

Weekly Inspection:
1. Remove debris from the pool skimmer basket.
2. Stop the pump; open the air release valve to release all pressure.
3. Remove the trap cover and basket; remove debris.
4. Check the pump for leaks. If found, see the pump owner's manual.
5. Replace the trap basket and the cover. Tighten the cover securely hand
tight. DO NOT use a lid wrench to tighten it.
6. Start the pump. When the filter air release valve runs a solid stream of
water, close the valve.
7. When the system has returned to normal operation, check the filter pressure. If the filter pressure is 10 PSI (69kPa) or more higher than the initial
startup pressure, the filter needs cleaning. See “Module Cleaning
Procedure”, Page 8.

WINTERIZING
Explosion hazard. Purging the system with compressed air can
cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone
nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air
purging the pump, filter, or piping.

NOTICE
The filter outlet piping will not empty
through the filter drain. Make sure that
the outlet piping has a separate drain for
winterizing.

NOTICE: Protect the filter from freezing. Allowing the filter to freeze will damage it and will void the warranty.
1. Clean the filter according to instructions (Page 8) before winterizing.
2. Stop the pump.
3. Open the air release valve; open all the system valves.
4. Remove the drain plugs from the trap, pump, and filter.
5. Drain the system piping.
A. Gravity drain system as far as possible.
B. Protect areas which retain water with non-toxic propylene glycol
antifreeze (“RV antifreeze”).
6. Loosen the union nuts (if used) to drain all water from the filter interior.
Leave these nuts loose until the system is restarted.
7. Disassemble the filter (follow instructions under “Filter Disassembly”, Pages
6 and 7). Remove the filter module and store it in a warm, dry area.
8. If the filter is equipped with an optional internal spring check valve (in the
tank outlet), manually open the check valve to allow any water trapped in
the tank to drain.
9. Cover the filter with plastic or tarpaulin to prevent water entrance and
freezing.
