This is an installation and maintenance guide for an element filter. It introduces how to install and maintain an element filter.
The Acuzzi Sherlok is an element filter designed for residential pools. This document serves as both an owner's manual and an installation guide, covering safety precautions, location requirements, plumbing connections (solvent weld or threaded), and pump selection considerations.
The guide details the startup procedure, including pressure gauge installation and air venting. It also explains how to clean and replace the filter element based on pressure differential readings (6-8 psi increase) and provides specific steps for winterizing the equipment by draining the system.
| Pressure differential for cleaning | 6 - 8 psi above original reading |
|---|---|
| Threaded connection size | 1-1/2" NPT or 2" NPT |
| Recommended pH range | 7.2 to 7.4 |
The filter element should be cleaned when the pressure gauge reads 6 - 8 psi above the original reading.
Consult your dealer for advice. If draining is required, clean and store the element in a dry area, then remove the drain plug to drain the system.
Common causes include a dirty filter, cracked dirt catcher, collapsing filter, or the filter being installed upside down.
