Frequently Asked Questions - Starclear C17502 HAYWARD

How do I prime the Hayward Starclear C17502 pump?

To prime the pump, ensure the strainer basket is clean and filled with water. Close the pump lid securely, open the air release valve on the filter, and turn on the pump. Water should flow and air will escape. If not, repeat the process.

What type of oil does the pump seal require?

The pump uses a mechanical seal that does not require oil. It is self-lubricating. However, ensure the pump is filled with water before starting to prevent damage to the seal.

Can I run the pump dry?

No, running the pump dry will damage the mechanical seal. Always ensure the pump is primed with water before operation. The pump has a thermal overload that may shut off if overheated.

How often should I clean the strainer basket?

Clean the strainer basket when it appears dirty or at least once a week during heavy use. A clogged basket reduces flow and can strain the pump.

What is the maximum head height for this pump?

The maximum head height is approximately 40 feet (12 meters). This varies with piping and fittings. Refer to the pump performance curve for exact values.

How do I winterize the Hayward Starclear C17502?

Drain all water from the pump, filter, and plumbing. Remove drain plugs and store them in the pump basket. Cover the pump to protect from weather. Use antifreeze if needed.

What is the warranty period?

Hayward typically offers a 2-year limited warranty on residential pool pumps. Check your specific purchase for details. Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

Can I use this pump with a saltwater pool?

Yes, the Starclear C17502 is suitable for saltwater pools. It is made of corrosion-resistant materials. However, regular maintenance and rinsing are recommended.

Why is my pump making noise?

Noise can be caused by cavitation (low water flow), debris in the impeller, or a worn bearing. Check strainer basket, ensure proper prime, and inspect impeller for clogs.

How do I replace the pump seal?

Turn off power and drain pump. Remove the motor and backplate. Extract old seal from shaft and housing. Install new seal with clean hands, lubricate with water, and reassemble. Torque bolts to spec.

CAUTION To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely supervise children at

all times. The ANSI/NSPI-4 Standard (above-ground and on-ground pools) advises that components such as the filtration system, pumps, and heaters be positioned to prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.

WARNING COMPONENT SEPARATION HAZARD

Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start up, normal operation, and possibly after pump shut off. Pressure in system can cause explosive component separation of the upper filter body if safety and operation instructions are not followed. Severe personal injury or death can result.

This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional.

TO AVOID COMPONENT SEPARATION

• Follow all safety and operation instructions.
• Do not operate water circulation system if a system component is assembled improperly, damaged, missing, or not a genuine Hayward component.
• Before performing maintenance on the water circulation system, verify all system and pump controls are in OFF position and filter manual air relief valve is in the OPEN position.
  • Before starting the system pump, verify that system valves are set in a position to allow water from the filter to return back to the pool.
  • Before starting the system pump, the manual air relief valve must be in the OPEN position.
• When starting pump, do not stand over or near filter.
• Return to filter to close manual air relief valve only when a steady stream of water (Not air or air and water mix) is discharged from the manual air relief valve.

WARNING EXCESS PRESSURE HAZARD

Pressure testing of the pump and filter system in excess of the 50 PSI can cause explosive separation of the components. Component separation can result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Voltage electricity is present in the pool and spa equipment. High voltage electricity can cause shock and electrocution. And electrocution can result in severe personal injury or death.

• All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations and the National Electrical Code (NEC).
• Before performing any service or maintenance on electrical equipment turn off all electrical power.
• Contact a licensed electrician or building inspector for information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements.
• Verify water discharge from the filter manual air relief valve is directed away from electrical devices.
• Do not locate pump controls over or near filter.

WARNING SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD.

Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers that are, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards:

Hair Entrapment- Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.

Limb Entrapment- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.

Body Suction Entrapment- A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.

Evisceration/ Disembowelment Entrapment- A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/ disembowelment entrapment.

al Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction resulting in mechanical entrapment.

USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS:

• A minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3') [1 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
• Dual suction outlets shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid "dual blockage" by a user.
  • Dual suction outlets shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
  • The pool or spa circulation system shall be designed to comply with ANSI/APSP-7 2006.
  • Suction outlet covers shall conform to ANSI/ASME A112.19.8
  • Never use Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component (cover/grate) is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
• Immediately replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components.
• The CPSP as well as the ICC International Residential Code Part IX, Appendix G, Section AG106 specifies the installation of a safety vacuum release system conforming to ASME A112.19.17, or an approved gravity drain system.
• Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the suction outlets can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.
• Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other material can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.

Suction outlet covers and grates have a finite life. They should be inspected frequently and replaced within specified life.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Hayward Star-Clear Plus filter is a high performance swimming pool filter with a residential filtration rating of 4,500 gallons (17 kl) per hour (C751), 5,400 gallons (20.5 kl) per hour (C900), or 7,200 gallons (27.3 kl) per hour (C1200, C1502, C1750, and C2002). Manufactured from durable, corrosion-proof materials, they are designed for continuous or intermittent operation, for installation above or below the pool water line, for fresh or saltwater swimming pools or spas. Star-Clear Plus filters utilize a reusable single element, reinforced polyester filter cartridge to provide a high degree of water clarity with absolute minimum care. Their unique design is such that no tools are needed to remove or replace the cartridge in the filter assembly. Simply spin off the locking knob, lift off the filter cover and remove the cartridge. It's that easy.

PUMP SELECTION AND LOCATION

To power your Star-Clear Plus filter, select a continuous duty pump designed for swimming pool or spa service.

It is important to first determine where your pump and filter will be located. If above the water line, a self-priming pump must be used. Self-priming pumps such as Hayward's Super Pump , Super II ^TM , or TriStar ^TM have the ability to lift water from a lower level and prime automatically.

Select a pump appropriate for your application. Taking into consideration, operation of hydrotherapy fittings, automatic cleaners, required turn over rates and losses in the system. A dealer can help you select the proper size pump for your system.

FILTER LOCATION

1. Since plumbing fittings offer a resistance to water flow, position the filter as close to the swimming pool as local codes allow. Keep the number of fittings to a minimum. Select a well drained area, one that will not flood when it rains.
2. Set the filter on a solid level surface. Allow a minimum top clearance for cartridge removal of 19" (483mm) for the C751 and C900, 25" (635mm) for the C1200, C1502 and allow 30" (762mm) for the C1750 and C2002. Be sure filter, pump, drain & pressure gauge are accessible for convenient operation.
3. Position the filter so the tank can drain by gravity.
4. If practical, place pump and filter in the shade to shield it from continuous, direct heat from the sun.

USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

PLUMBING

1. Use 1-1/2" or 2" piping. When making permanent connections, be sure to provide unions for easy servicing.
2. Refer to the diagrams on previous page for basic suggested valving. Ball valves are recommended where needed. While systems vary, the main consideration is to provide the desired control of water flow from the pool to the pump and filter, and back to the pool. When the filter is located below water level, provide valves to prevent back flow of water to the filter during cleaning and routine servicing.
3. All plumbing on the Star-Clear Plus filter is 1-1/2" or 2" N.P.T. or socket (solvent weld). When making threaded connections to the filter use plastic adapters. Apply three turns of Teflon tape (or use special plastic pipe sealant) to male threads. Screw the fitting into the thread hand tight; then using a wrench, tighten one more full turn. Additional tightening is unnecessary and could result in broken or damaged fittings.
4. Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer, pool outlet, etc. and the pump.
5. Install the pool return plumbing.
6. If the pressure gauge is not installed, apply three wraps of Teflon tape to the gauge threads, and carefully screw the gauge into the threaded hole in the filter head.
7. A filter drain plug is furnished with each filter and is all that is needed for complete filter draining. A manual air relief valve is furnished to aid in bleeding off unwanted air when starting the filter. The auto air relief provides air removal during operation.
8. All electrical connections should be made in accordance with local codes.
9. Check for joint leaks before operating
10. Refer to pump instruction booklet for pump information.

STARTING THE FILTER

Be sure filter drain plug is closed. Open manual air relief valve a few turns and open the suction and return valves (when used).

CAUTION: All suction and discharge valves must be open when starting the system. Failure to do so could cause severe personal injury and/or property damage. Be sure locking knob is secure (hand tighten-only slight pressure is required).

Stand clear of the filter and prime and start the pump, following the manufacturer's instructions. Air trapped in the system will automatically vent to the pool and out air relief valve. Close air relief valve as soon as air is vented.

FILTERING

Filtration starts as soon as flow is steady through the filter. As the filter cartridge 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 7-10 psi (.49-.70 Bar) above the starting pressure, or when flow decreases below desired rate, clean or replace the filter cartridge.

CLEAN / REPLACE CARTRIDGE

REMOVING CARTRIDGE ELEMENT

1. Shut off the pump.
2. If filter is located below water level, close valves or block off suction & discharge lines to prevent backflow of water from the pool.
3. Remove drain plug and allow water to drain from filter. Close drain plug. (To assist draining process; open air vent a few turns.)
4. Unscrew and remove locking knob (counterclockwise direction) and carefully lift off top cover to gain access to filter cartridge.
5. Lift out cartridge and clean. Or, replace with clean, spare cartridge. (See Cleaning Cartridge.)

REINSTALLING CARTRIDGE ELEMENT

1. Clean any collected debris from the bottom of filter body.
2. Carefully replace cartridge element over tie rod and into filter body ensuring that the cartridge sits evenly on the collector hub in bottom of filter body.
3. Place cover on filter body (being sure filter head 0-ring is in place and clean). Fit tie rod end through center hole.
4. Tighten locking knob in clockwise direction. (Hand tight only.)
5. Proceed as in STARTING THE FILTER.

USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

CLEANING CARTRIDGE

The cartridge filter element can be cleaned by pressure washing inside and out with a garden hose. (The cartridge is easier to clean when dry.) After hosing the cartridge, for best results, allow cartridge to dry and carefully brush pleated surface areas to remove fine particles. Do not pressure wash, as it can damage the filter element.

Algae, suntan oil and body oils can form a coating on the cartridge pleats which may not be thoroughly removed by hosing. To remove such materials, soak the cartridge in a solution of filter element cleaner (various brands available at pool dealer). Follow manufacturer's directions for use and allow an hour for soaking. Hose thoroughly before reinstalling in filter.

A spare cartridge filter element is an excellent investment. It provides convenience and ensures that your filter will always be ready to operate at peak efficiency.

1. Hayward cartridges are specially designed and engineered for use in Star-Clear Plus filters. For best results, use only genuine Hayward Star-Clear cartridges in your filter. Order Model No. CX760RE, CX900RE, CX1200RE, CX1520RE, CX1750RE, or CX2020RE from your dealer. The Hayward name is your guarantee of quality.

VACUUMING

Vacuuming can be performed directly into the filter whenever needed. Clean cartridge after vacuuming, if required.

WINTERIZING (Filter)

In areas where sub-freezing temperatures can be expected, the filter should be drained and/or removed from its, operating location and stored indoors. Remove and clean cartridge. Reinstall cartridge in filter tank. Tighten locking knob only a few turns when storing.

SERVICE AND REPAIRS

Consult your local authorized Hayward dealer or service center. No returns may be made directly to the factory without the expressed written authorization of Hayward Pool Products.
