FILTER PAD DIRECTIONS
A) The #1 filter pads are coarse pads, used mainly for heavy wines. These pads will produce minimal
clarity for your wine. They are used as a first filtration to extract the larger suspended particles.
B) The #2 pads are finer and are used for brightening and polishing your wine. You should notice a
brightness and clarity. These pads remove smaller suspended particles and are used for your second
filtration.
C) If you prefer to further enhance your wine or if you plan on bottling, use the #3 pads. These pads
should only be used if your wine has been filtered with the #2 pads at least once. The #3 pads assist
in removing the high percentage of yeast in the wine.
Note: One set of pads will effectively filter 23 litres (5 gallons) of wine. Remove the pads and replace
with a new set after above mentioned quantity use. Discard after use.
MOTOR DIRECTIONS
It is very important to follow these instructions!
Once you have started filtering DO NOT filter more than 50 litres or 10 gallons of wine at a time. If you
have additional wine to be filtered you MUST allow the motor to cool for 45 minutes to 1 hour before
recommencing filtration. Important: do not let the pump run dry!
Important: Wine must be racked or decanted at least once during the normal process of wine making.
Note: Prior to filtering, rack your wine into a new container.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1) READ FILTER PAD DIRECTIONS AND MOTOR DIRECTONS FIRST!
2) Remove the pads from the package and place them in a clean container with enough fresh water to
cover the pads and allow them to soak (approx. 5 minutes). Make sure that the pads are not bunched
together while soaking, allow the water to saturate on both sides of the 3 pads.
3) Attach the small diameter piece of hose supplied, to the fitting located under the drip tray. This
same hose is used for racking and cleaning your pump.
4) Loosen the two black hand wheels and remove the two central plates.
5) Remove the pads from the water and begin inserting them into the filter body. The coarse side will
be facing the hand wheels and the holes will be aligned. The pads have a tight fit. Make sure to press
down on the pad so that both sides of the "T" are sitting on the two sides bolts and the pad is straight
along the top. Place the pad into the filter body, next place one of the central filtering plates, insert the
second pad and the next plate in the same manner, followed by the last pad. Once the pads and the
plates are inserted, all the pads and plates should be even along the top.
Note: The pads are cut in a "T" formation with one side of the "T" higher than the other. The hooks on
both sides of the filter plates also have the same offset. This allows you to insert the pads and plates
properly.
6) Tighten the hand wheels to ensure a tight seal on the pads.
7) Insert the intake hose, which contains a stainless steel wire and a red antisedement tip to the inlet
on the pump.
8) Insert the long slightly larger diameter, out-take tube onto the exit nozzle.
