OWNER'S GUIDE IS2001540LS-99 MODEL C2001540LS SERIES Your Micro Star-Clear cartridge filter has an output rating of 1400 gallons (5299 L) per hour. The filter and pump are combined on a molded mounting base and are manufactured from durable, corrosion-proof materials. The system is designed for installation below the pool water line. The Micro Star-Clear filter system utilizes a reusable single element, reinforced polyester filter cartridge to provide a high degree of water clarity with absolute minimum care. Removal of the cartridge for routine cleaning is fast and easy to do. The SP1540 series Power-Flo LX pump is a non-corrosive centrifugal pump with pressure, flow and operation designed for swimming pool service and may be operated on an intermittent or continuous basis. SYSTEM LOCATION 1. Though the system is designed for outdoor use, it is advisable to protect electrical components from the weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood when it rains. 2. Position the system below the swimming pool water line and as close to the pool as possible. Set the mounting platform level. Allow a minimum clearance for cartridge removal. Be sure the pipe connections, drain, etc., are accessible for convenient operation and cartridge removal. TO ASSEMBLE THE SYSTEM 1. Place pump and motor on mounting base. Align holes in motor base with holes in mounting base and secure with two screws and washers provided. 2. Securely thread sweep elbow, with 3-4 wraps of Teflon pipe tape, into outlet of pump. Position so that large thread end points back toward the motor, at an angle, toward corner of base. 3. Thread the ball end of union, with union nut, into filter connection marked "IN." Use Teflon tape (3-4 wraps on thread) and screw in as far as possible hand tight, then one additional turn with a wrench. 4. Adjust ball and socket and join by hand tightening union nut. Do not overtighten. 5. All plumbing connections on the system are 1-1/2" N.P.T. When making connections, use plastic maleend adapters and flexible hose. Apply three turns of Teflon tape or plastic pipe sealant to the male threads. Screw the fitting into the thread hand tight; then using a wrench, tighten one more full turn. Additional tightening is unnecessary and could result in damage to components. NOTE: For extra convenience, you may wish to install valves on the inlet and discharge of the system to prevent back flow of water when removing cartridge. See dealer for further information. 6. Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer pool outlet, and the pump. Connect the pool return (inlet) plumbing. 7. A drain plug is furnished with each filter and is all that is needed for complete filter draining. A manual air vent valve is furnished to aid in bleeding off unwanted air when starting the filter. 8. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes. 9. Check for joint leaks before operating the system. 10. Refer to pump instruction booklet for pump information. BEFORE STARTING THE FILTER Superchlorinate the pool water by adding unstabilized granular or liquid chlorine. Stabilized forms of chlorine are recommended for normal daily use after the initial clean up of the water. Follow chemical manufacturer's recommendations for superchlorination and daily use. STARTING THE FILTER Open manual air vent valve a few turns. CAUTION: All suction and discharge valves must be open when starting the system. Failure to do so could cause severe personal injury and/or property damage. Prime and start the pump following the manufacturer's instructions. Air trapped in the system will automatically vent to the pool and out vent valve. Close vent valve as soon as air is vented.
