Typical Installation
1. Position the filter as close
to the Swimming Pool/
Spa as possible.
2. Position the filter so that it
is free from flooding, away
from
sumps,
garden hollows, etc.
3. Position the filter so that
the
piping
connections
purge valve and air release
valve is convenient and
accessible for operation,
servicing and winterising.
4. Ensure that the compliance label is facing the front to allow easy identification.
5. The filter should be placed on a level concrete slab, very firm ground, or
equivalent. Ensure that the ground will not subside, preventing any strain from the
attached plumbing.
6. Ensure that there is no movement of the filter during operation of the purge valve.
7. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual inspection of the
entire system.
Plumbing
1. Check that the incoming water pressure is within the filter's recommended working
pressure and ensure that a pressure limiting valve is installed if using mains water
or a high pressure pump.
2. Ensure that a foot valve/non return valve are installed if the pump is installed
500mm/20" above the water level.
3. If the filter is installed below the water level or connected to mains water, isolation
valves should be installed at the inlet and outlet of the filter. This will prevent water
flow during any routine maintenance.
4. Minimise the length of pipe and the number of fittings to minimise restrictions to
water flow.
5. Ensure that all plumbing connections are glued and tightened securely to prevent
leaking.
6. Ensure solvents are not excessively applied to fittings as this could run into "o"-
rings and create sealing problems.
7. Do not over tighten fittings or adapters.
