How do I install the Clarus CPA-HPF8K Garden Hose Pre-Filter?

Last Updated:

The Clarus PureFill™ CPA-HPF8K Garden Hose Pre-Filter connects directly to a standard garden hose to help reduce sediment, rust, chlorine, and other impurities in your fill water before they enter your pool, spa, or hot tub.

Installation Steps

  1. Turn off the water supply. Make sure the garden hose faucet is completely turned off before installation.
  2. Connect the pre-filter. Attach the inlet end of the pre-filter to your garden hose. Hand-tighten the connection until secure.
  3. Check the flow direction. Make sure the water flows in the direction indicated by the HIGH FLOW → arrow on the filter housing.
  4. Position the outlet. Place the outlet end of the pre-filter where you want the filtered water to flow, such as into your pool or spa.
  5. Turn on the water slowly. Gradually open the faucet and check all connections for leaks.
  6. Begin filling. Once water is flowing properly, continue filling your pool, spa, or hot tub as needed.

Important Tips

  • Use cold water only.
  • Do not exceed 60 PSI water pressure.
  • Avoid overtightening connections.
  • Replace the pre-filter when water flow becomes noticeably restricted.
  • The pre-filter does not disinfect water or make it safe for drinking.
