Installation Notes
- Shut off the pump and fully relieve filter pressure at the air relief before loosening the clamp.
- Clean the tank flange and sealing surfaces thoroughly—grit and old debris are common causes of seam leaks.
- Seat the metal-reinforced seal evenly and tighten the clamp uniformly per the filter’s instructions.
- After restart, bleed air until a steady stream of water flows, then inspect the seam for seepage.
- Never attempt to tighten or remove a clamp while the filter is under pressure.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the clamp and seal every time you open the filter—replace any seal that is flattened, nicked, or stiff.
- Lightly lubricate the tank seal with silicone-based pool lubricant to reduce pinching and improve resealing.
- Keep the clamp band and tank flange clean; debris under the seal is a common cause of seam leaks.
- If the seam seeps after service, depressurize, re-seat the seal evenly, and retighten the clamp uniformly (don’t overtighten).
