OWNER'S GUIDE ISC1750-98 HAYWARD® STAR + CLEAR' PLUS CARTRIDGE FILTERS MODELS C751, C7512, C900, C9002(S), C1200, C12002(S), C17502(S) Hayward Star-Clear Plus filters are high performance swimming pool filters with a filtration rating of 4,500 gallons (17 kl) per hour (C751), 5,400 gallons (20.5 kl) per hour (C900), and 7,200 gallons (27.3 kl) per hour (C1200 and C1750). Manufactured from durable, corrosion-proof materials, they are designed for continuous or intermittent operation, for installation above or below the pool water line, for fresh or salt water swimming pools or spas. Star-Clear Plus filters utilize a reusable single element, reinforced polyester filter cartridge to provide a high degree of water clarity with absolute minimum care. Their unique design is such that no tools are needed to remove or replace the cartridge in the filter assembly. Simply spin off the locking knob, lift off the filter cover and remove the cartridge. It's that easy. PUMP SELECTION AND LOCATION To power your Star-Clear Plus filter, select a continuous duty pump designed for swimming pool or spa service. It is important to first determine where your pump and filter will be located. If above the water line, a self-priming pump must be used. Self-priming pumps (such as Hayward's Super Pump - . Super II- , Max-Flo- or Power-Flo Ill have the ability to lift water from a lower level and prime automatically As a general guide, select a pump with an average output rating of at least 90-100 gallons (341-379 liters) per minute for the C751 and C900, 120-130 gallons (454-492 liters) per minute for the C1200 and C1750. Other considerations are operation of hydrotherapy fittings, automatic cleaners, etc your dealer will help you select the proper size pump for your system I 2. Set the filter on a solid, level surface. Allow a minimum top clearance for cartridge removal of 19" (483mm) for the C751 and C900, 25" (635mm) for the C1200 and 30" (762mm) for the C1750. Be sure filter, pump, drain and pressure gauge are accessible for convenient operation. 3. Position the filter so the tank can drain by gravity. 4. If practical, place pump and filter in the shade to shield it from continuous, direct heat from the sun. PLUMBING 1. Use 1-1/2" or 2"piping. When making permanent connections, be sure to provide unions for easy servicing. 2. Refer to the diagrams for basic suggested valving. Ball valves are recommended where needed. While all systems vary, the main consideration is to provide the desired control of water flow from the pool to the pump and filter, and back to the pool. When the filter is located below water level, provide valves to prevent back flow of water to the filter during cleaning and routine servicing. SUPER H PUMP SUPER PUMP MAX-FLO PUMP FILTER LOCATION 1. Since plumbing fittings offer a resistance to water flow, position the filter as close to the swimming pool as local codes allow. Keep the number of fittings to a minimum. Select a well drained area, one that will not flood when it rains. (See next page of manual for important note.) 3. All plumbing on the Star-Clear Plus filter are 1-1/2" or 2" N.P.T. or socket (solvent weld). When making threaded connections to the filter use plastic adapters. Apply three turns of Teflon tape (or use special plastic pipe sealant) to 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 broken or damaged fittings. FILTER LOCATION BELOW WATER LINE PRESSURE -..
