SECTION 6: INSTALLATION
6.4 Connecting the Plumbing
All plumbing should be connected using the
following guidelines:
• If the connection uses threaded pipes, wrap
plumbing tape around the male threads or
use food-grade thread sealant to ensure a
watertight seal.
• If the connection is PVC, flexible or rigid couplings
can be used:
• Ensure all clamps on the couplings are fully
tightened.
• If a permanent connection is desired, PVC primer
and solvent glue should be used. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations for use.
• If the connection is a flange, use appropriately-
sized bolts, and tighten with a torque wrench.
1. Ensure the inlet water channel is closed.
2. Connect the inlet water channel to the Rotofilter
inlet and secure tightly. Do not open the inlet
water channel until all installation and pre-
operation procedures are complete.
3. Ensure the outlet water channel is closed.
4. Connect the outlet water channel to the Rotofilter
outlet and secure tightly. Do not open the outlet
water channel until all installation and pre-
operation procedures are complete.
5. Connect the waste (solids) channel to the
Rotofilter solids trough outlet and secure tightly.
6. Install plugs into the remaining open connections
of the Rotofilter. These may include the
backwash connections and drains near the
bottom of the unit, and the unused backwash
inlet. Plugs are supplied in the owner's kit
shipped with the Rotofilter.

6.5 Installing the Control Panel
Install the control panel supplied with the Rotofilter
within sight of the unit. The control panel door
should be able to open fully.
Installation of the control panel
and all other electrical work should
be performed by a licensed,
professional electrician. The electrician should
provide information on the Control Panel Installation
Checklist, Section 6.6.
We have pre-set the time delay switch of the drum
and backwash system to provide a run-time of 2.5
revolutions. This ensures that the screens pass the
spray bar twice each cycle.
Certain conditions, such as very high Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) concentrations, may
warrant changes to this setting. Consult us prior
to making any changes.
