Tru Blu installation & ownership guide
Pump and filter installation
Mount, connect and commission your circulation pump and cartridge filter with room for routine service.
Use this guide with the installation detail and equipment manuals supplied with your pool. Your site approval sets the required inspections.
Choose the equipment position
- Use a firm, level pad with drainage, ventilation and access to the pump basket and filter. Keep it outside the barrier’s climbable zones.
- Check electrical pool-zone separation with your electrician. Keep the pipe route practical; a quoted maximum distance from another equipment system is not a design limit for this one.
Lay out service clearances
- Allow the lid and filter cartridge to be lifted out without removing a roof or permanent shelf. Measure the supplied filter rather than assume a generic height.
- Place valves and unions where an owner can isolate and service equipment safely. A sound-reducing enclosure must preserve airflow, drainage and clearances.
Connect and prime
- Support pipes independently. Install inlet/outlet connections and any isolation valves to the equipment layout.
- With the circuit ready and required valves open, fill and prime the pump as the Davey manual instructs. Never run the pump dry.
Commission and hand over
- Have the electrician complete the electrical work and safety checks. Start circulation, check leaks and confirm a steady return flow.
- Record the clean-filter pressure if the filter has a gauge. Demonstrate safe shutdown, pressure release and cartridge cleaning before handover.
CrystalClear 39050 installation references
- For a supplied Davey CrystalClear 39050, allow 835 mm total vertical space from its base to remove the cartridge; this is not 835 mm additional clearance above the lid. Its body height is 540 mm.
- For this filter, Davey specifies 50 mm pipe where the piping length exceeds 15 m. The circuit drawing determines the complete pipework and any transitions.
- Record the clean-filter pressure at commissioning. Follow the filter manual for pressure limits, cleaning trigger and depressurisation.

01Lay out the equipment station
- Place the pump, filter and UV where each service part can be reached. Mark the actual equipment footprints on the pad before drilling or gluing.
- Keep the pump motor ventilated and the equipment area drained. Avoid roof runoff, persistent flooding and enclosed chemical storage.
- Keep isolation valves and unions on accessible faces. Leave room to lift lids and remove components.
- Plan cables and electrical isolation with the electrician. Equipment must not create a climbable route past the pool barrier.
The equipment-pad size follows the actual service envelopes. A generic rectangle is not sufficient if a lid or lamp cannot be removed.
02Mount and prime the pump
- Inspect the supplied pump, basket, lid seal and unions. Place it securely on the level pad without pipe strain.
- Connect suction to the inlet and discharge to the filter. Align the pipework; do not force the pump unions into position.
- Before first operation, fill the priming chamber as directed in the pump manual, fit the lid seal correctly and open the circulation path.
- Have the electrical supply and required bonding completed by the licensed electrician. Start only when primed; stop if it fails to establish circulation.

- Priming completed
- Supply certificate reference
The prototype pump was a Davey Whisper W500. Match the installed pump model to its supplied operating instructions.
03Give the cartridge room to come out
- For Davey CrystalClear 39050, reserve 835 mm total height from the base for cartridge removal. The body height is 540 mm. Leave useful access around the lid and gauge.
- Orient the chosen INLET toward pump discharge and connect OUTLET to the filtered return circuit. Close the unused inlet with the supplied cap.
- Use the supplied O-ring unions, clean seals and hand tightening. Support both pipe runs independently.
- Bleed trapped air during startup according to the filter manual and record the clean-filter pressure.
Job check / record
- Filter model / serial
- Clean-filter pressure (kPa)
- Cartridge-removal space checked
Dimensions shown are for 39050 only. A replacement model can have a different service envelope.
04Install the vertical UV chamber
- Put Insnrg Ui in the filtered return line before any other sanitising device. Keep the chamber vertical and the inlet pipe opaque.
- Leave at least 300 mm clear above its top. A 545 mm chamber plus that clearance occupies 845 mm before mounting offsets or pipework.
- Mount the ballast under shelter; keep connections accessible. Arrange protected power and coordinated pump/UV operation with the electrician.
- Complete the wet leak check before enabling UV. Keep the housing assembled and never look at an exposed operating UV lamp.
Job check / record
- UV model / serial
- Overhead clearance measured
- Pump / UV timer coordination
Mount the ballast securely under shelter and beyond splash exposure, with its leads and isolation accessible.
05Reserve airflow for the Hi35
- For the front-discharge Hi35 manual 250926, keep at least 1,000 mm clear in front and 500 mm at each side and behind, with open ventilation above.
- Orient discharge away from nearby obstructions and avoid cold-air recirculation. Keep routine service access as well as airflow space.
- Set the unit level and provide condensate drainage. Do not carry or lift it by its water unions.
- Arrange licensed electrical connection. Refrigerant work belongs to qualified refrigeration personnel.
Job check / record
- Heat pump model / discharge type
- Front / side / rear clearances
- Condensate route
These clearances apply to the referenced front-discharge range, not a top-discharge model.
06Commission the heating option
- Start circulation and check water flow before enabling the heater. Inspect its unions and bypass for leaks.
- Set the supplied bypass so the heater receives its model-required flow. Record inlet and outlet readings once operation is stable.
- Check that loss of circulation stops heating, following the manufacturer commissioning procedure. Restore the normal operating settings.
- Record model, serial, setpoint and bypass position. Keep controls accessible and show the owner how to isolate the heater safely.
Job check / record
- Inlet / outlet water temperatures
- Bypass setting / setpoint
- Flow-stop check
- Commissioning date / installer
Use the heat-pump manual for its operating range and flow adjustment; pool diameter alone does not determine the bypass setting.
