2.6 eQUiPMenT LoCATion

All pool water recirculation system components need
to be installed in accordance with the standards and
instructions in effect in your county or municipality.
2.6.1 eQUiPMenT PAD
The filter along with the other primary components
of your pool water recirculation system should be
installed on a level, prepared footing, which is capable
of supporting the weight of the filter and which will
accommodate the use of anchoring bolts to secure the
equipment in place. Check local building codes for any
additional requirements. If possible the equipment pad
area should be:
• Dry.
• Well ventilated.
2.6.2 FiLTeR LoCATion
The filter must be installed on a firm, solid, non-
absorbent level surface; and per the requirements of
local codes and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Filter systems can weigh up to 1,100 lbs. Use suitably
rated mounting surface materials to avoid risk of
settlement, and never use sand to level the filter as
the sand will wash away. Check local building codes for
additional requirements. On the equipment pad, the
filter should be positioned so that it is:
• At least 6 inches away from walls and/or landscaping to allow
for servicing.
• Not located below any eves, overhangs, coverings or
landscaping that might prevent or impede the removal of the
filter lid and/or the proper servicing or replacement of the
internal components.
• At least 5 feet away from any electrical controls or inputs.
• In line, as best as possible, with other equipment in order to
minimize turns in plumbing which can result in diminished
efficiency.
• Able to safely direct water drainage.
Figure 3. Filter Location Requirements
Jandy
Utmost care must be taken to ensure that the equipment
is located such that it is able to be safely operated and
maintained.
• Supplied with sufficient drainage.
• Out of direct sunlight.
• Located away from eaves or overhangs where rain gutters
are not installed.
• Away from overhanging trees or other foliage that may
produce waste or debris of any kind that could clog, block or
otherwise disrupt the regular operation and maintenance of
the equipment.
• As close to the primary body of water as possible. Additional
pipe length reduces efficiency due to pipe friction.
• Accessible for drainage and proper sand removal.
• Able to purge air and water safely away from other
equipment, electrical controls or connections.
• Stationary and not subject to movement.
If the filter needs to be located above the water level
of the pool, it can be raised 2.5 ft. without affecting the
pump efficiency. A check valve is recommended on the
suction line to the pump.
If the filter is to be installed below the water level of the
pool, isolation valves should be installed on both the
suction and return lines to prevent back flow of pool
water during any routine servicing that may be required.
Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or
valve can create an electrical hazard which can cause
death, serious injury or property damage.
