Installtion
This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional.
- Position the filter body such that all operations and safety labels are visible.
- Position the filter so that filter will drain by gravity.
- If practical, place the pump and filter in the shade to shield them from continuous, direct heat from the sun.
- Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer, pool suction outlet (from the pool), and the pump.
- Connect the pump discharge (pump OUTLET) to the top port of the filter (filter INLET).
- Connect the bottom filter port (filter OUTLET) to the pool return plumbing lines.
- Do not locate pump controls over or near the filter.
- Verify water discharge from the manual air relief valve(MAR) is directed away from electrical devices.
Filter System
Before Starting the Pump
- Use ONLY Hayward clamp system components: DEX2421JKIT clamp system, DEX2421J2 nut/bolt assembly, DEX2422Z2 metal reinforced seal. Non-Hayward clamp components may fail in use, causing explosive component separation.
- Verify that the upper and lower filter bodies are properly secured with the filter body clamp. Never rely on hand-tightening the clamp nut to the clamp bolt. Using a ¾” socket on a torque wrench, torque the clamp nut to the clamp bolt to 150 inch-lbs.

- Verify that the filter manual air relief body is in the LOCK position, and no filter components are missing, damaged, or not genuine Hayward components. (See Fig. 2)

- Close the filter drain. The filter plug requires an O-ring seal. (See.g 4)

- Open all system valves to allow water from the pool to the filtration system and from the filter to return to the pool.
- Place the manual air relief valve ithe n the OPEN position.
Starting Pump
- When starting the system pump, do not stop the filter. If water leakage at the tilter tank clamp, immediately turn off all system circulation pumps and all electrical power. Do not return to the filter until all water leakage has stopped. Reassemble the clamp system per the instructions on page 7 in this owner’s manual to stop op leak.
- Return to filter to CLOSE manual air relief valve only when a steady stream of water (not a mixture, air and water) is discharged from the manual air relief valve.
Operation
Filtration starts as soon as the flow is steady through the filter. As the filter removes dirt from the pool water, the accumulated dirt causes a resistance to flow. As a result, the gauge pressure will rise and the flow will decrease. When the pressure rises between 7 and 10 psi (.49 – .69 bar) above the starting pressure, or when the flow decreases below the desired rate, clean or replace the filter cartridge elements. Once your filter is running and there is a pressure reading, line up the green arrow with the current reading. (See Fig. 3).
When the pressure rises to or above the red or second arrow, it is time to clean or replace your filter cartridge elements.
Maintaining Your Filter
- Turn off all system circulation pumps and all electric power on the equipment pad.
- Set all system valves in a position to prevent water flow to the filter.
- The manual air relief valve must be placed in the OPEN position. (Fig 6)

- Remove the filter drain plug (Fig. 4) and drain water from the filter.
- Using 3/4” wrenches or hex sockets, loosen and remove the clamp nut and the clamp bolt. (Fig 5)

- Holding both ends of the filter clamp, carefully spread the clamp ends. Remove the clamp by liftitng t over the upper filter body. Do not drop the clamp during removal, because the clamp could be damaged. Do not strike the clamp with metal tools, as they can damage the clamp.
- Lift off the upper filter body. Do not use the pressure gauge to lift the upper filter body.
Removing
- Remove the top Manifold, which is exposed when the upper filter body is removed. (Fig 4)
- Remove the filter cartridge elements by using a slight rocking motion and lifting.
- Clean filter cartridge elements.
Cleaning
The Cartridge filter element can be cleaned by washing inside and outside with a garden hose. After housing the g cartridge, for best results, carefully brush the pleated surface to remove fine particles. Do not pressure wash, as it can damage the filter element. You may find some debris on the cartridge pleats, which may not have been removed with hosing.
Re-Assembly Instructions

- Place the upper filter body on the metal reinforced seal and the lower filter body in a position that allows all operation and safety labels to be clearly visible, and the upper filter body to be centered on the lower filter body. Press down firmly and evenly on the upper filter body to seat the seal.

- Replace the filter clamp around the upper and lower filter bodies. Hold the clamp ends to position the clamp on the filter bodies with the clamp ends adjacent to the safety and operation labels on the filter bodies.
- Insert the clamp bolt through the clamp ends and thread the clamp nut onto the clamp bolt with the rounded end of the nut towards the ends of the clamp.

- Never rely on hand tightening of the lamp nut to clamp the bolt. Using a 3/4” socket on a torque wrench, torque the clamp nut to the clamp bolt to 150 inch-lbs.

- Follow the operation Instructions for “Starting the Pump and Filter System.”
Removing the Valve
- Turn off all system circulation pumps and all electric power on the equipment pad.
- Set all system valves in a position to prevent water from flowing to the filter.
- The manual air relief valve must be placed in the OPEN position.
- Wait until all water leakage has stopped.
- Grasp the MAR body at the flats, turn the MAR counterclockwise until the indicator on the MAR flange is aligned with the “UNLOCK” position on the upper filter body.
- Pull straight up to remove the MAR. A slight rocking motion may help.
