⚠️ Critical Safety & Installation Warnings

HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: Pool filtration systems operate under high pressure. Never operate your system at more than 30 PSI. Components installed incorrectly can fail violently, leading to property damage or serious injury.
WATER DISCHARGE: Position the valve's discharge path away from electrical outlets, pump motors, or control panels. High-pressure water spray can cause electrical shorts or motor failure.
SYSTEM BLEEDING: Always open the air relief valve slowly when starting the pump. Keep it open until a steady stream of water emerges to ensure no air is trapped in the tank.
💡 Professional Installation Tips
  • Lubrication: Apply a small amount of pool-grade silicone lubricant to the O-ring before installation to ensure a leak-proof seal and prevent rubber dry-rot.
  • Hand-Tight Only: Do not use a wrench or pliers. Over-tightening can crack the plastic valve body or the expensive filter manifold.
  • Inspection: Check the O-ring for cracks or flattening every time you clean the filter. A failing O-ring is the #1 cause of air leaks into the system.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION: Servicing pressurized pool equipment carries inherent risks. If you are unsure of the installation procedure, consult a licensed pool professional. Always power down the pump before servicing.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
