Installation of the top collector manifold typically involves replacing an existing, damaged unit. It is recommended to consult a qualified pool technician if you are unfamiliar with pool filter maintenance.

Passos generals d'instal·lació:

1. Preparació: Ensure the filter system is turned off, depressurized, and drained. Remove the filter tank lid and the existing filter grid assembly.
2. Desmuntatge: Carefully remove the nut and washer from the bottom of the long bolt that holds the collector and filter elements together. Keep these small parts in a safe place.
3. Manifold Replacement: Remove the old manifold. When installing the new manifold, it can be helpful to have assistance to hold the filter grids in place.
4. Remuntatge: Insert the long rod/bolt through the filter elements and the new top collector. Secure it loosely with the washer and nut.
5. Alineació: Place the assembly on a stable surface (e.g., a 5-gallon bucket with the collector upside down) to aid in aligning the filter elements. Apply slight pressure and adjust the grids until the elements snap into place.
6. Ajustament final: Invert the assembly and tighten the nut. Avoid overtightening, as the manifold is plastic and can crack.
7. System Restart: Reinstall the filter grid assembly into the tank, secure the lid, and follow your filter's specific instructions for recharging with DE powder and restarting the system.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

The Hayward DEX2400C Top Collector Manifold functions as an integral part of your DE filter system, directing water flow and ensuring proper filtration. Once installed correctly, its operation is passive and integrated with the overall filter system.

Ensure the auto air relief is clear and functioning to prevent air pockets within the filter, which can impede performance.

3. Clean Grids: Remove the bottom filter element and then individually hose off each grid. Lean the grids against a wall to dry.
4. Clean Manifold: Ensure the top collector manifold is also thoroughly cleaned.
5. Reassemble Grids: Use an empty 5-gallon bucket to hold the top collector upside down. One by one, add the grids, noting the position of any short grids.
6. Attach Filter Element: Place the filter element on top, aligning the pie-shaped opening with the air relief valve.
7. Insert Rod: With assistance, insert the long rod/bolt through the filter element and the top collector. Secure loosely with the washer and nut.
8. Final Grid Alignment: Place the assembly back on the 5-gallon bucket (collector upside down). Apply slight pressure to the filter element and gently move the grids until the element snaps into place.

• Damaged Grids: Check filter grids for tears or holes.
• Improper Assembly: Ensure all components, especially the manifold and grids, are correctly seated and secured.
• Missing O-rings: Verify that all necessary O-rings (e.g., DEX2400Z5 outlet elbow O-ring) are present and in good condition.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact a professional pool service technician.
