SECTION I. FILTER INSTALLATION
1. The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the filter so that the instructions, warnings and pressure gauge are visible to the operator. Also, position the filter so that
the piping connections, control valve and drain port are convenient and accessible for servicing and winterizing.
2. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers control systems, etc.) at least 2m (5 feet) from the filter. This will allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during system
start up.
3. Provide sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual verification that the clamp is properly installed.
4. Provide sufficient space above the filter to remove the filter lid for cleaning and servicing. This distance will vary with the model of filter you are using.
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. Position the filter and High Flow
valve to safely direct water drainage and purged air or water. Water discharged from an
improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe
personal injury as well as damage property.
5. When installing the High Flow™ manual air relief valve use the O-ring only, there is no need for thread sealing compounds. Position the filter to safely direct water drainage. Rotate the
valve to safely direct purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter or valve can create an electrical hazard as well as damage property.
6. Make all plumbing connections in accordance with local plumbing and building codes. Filter plumbing connections are provided with an O-ring seal. Use only a silicone base lubricant
on the O-rings.
7. The base of this filter is provided with two (2) mounting bosses for the purpose of anchoring the filter to the concrete.
8. The maximum working pressure of this filter is 3.5 bar. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of this amount, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above
3.5 bar can cause the lid to be blown off, which can result in severe injury, death or property damage.
When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing system, ensure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration
system will be subjected to Does not exceed the maximum working pressure of any of the components contained within the system. In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated
on each component of the system.
If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest
working pressure of any of the components in the system.
SECTION II. FILTER OPERATION
This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating system (e.g., lock ring, pump, filter, valves,
etc.) Is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to blow off
which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions.
1. Before repositioning valves and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the lock ring
or any other service of the circulating system: (a) turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to
assure the system is not inadvertently started during the servicing; (b) open air relief valve; and (c) wait until
all pressure is relieved -pressure gauge must read zero (0).
2. Whenever installing the filter lock ring, follow the filter lock ring installation instructions exactly.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart instructions exactly.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately (e.g., lock ring, pressure
gauge, relief valve, o rings, etc.)
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to the instructions provided.
