INSTALLATION
The following information describes how to install the
FullFloXF
Q-Series Cartridge Style D.E. Filter. Only a
®
qualified service person should install this filter.
Note: Before installing this product, read and follow
all warning notices and instructions on pages i-ii.
Filter Location
1. The filter should be mounted on a level concrete
slab. Position the filter so that instructions,
warnings and the pressure gauge are visible to the
operator.
2. Position the filter so that the piping connections,
control valve and drain port are convenient and
accessible for servicing and winterizing.
3. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches,
timers, control systems, etc.) at least 5 ft. (1.5 m)
from the filter. This will allow you enough room to
stand clear of the filter during system start up.
4. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit
visual verification that the clamp ring is properly
installed around the tank flanges, see Figure 1.
Note: Refer to the page 7 for instructions on
properly installing the clamp ring.
5. Allow 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. See
Table 1 for the required vertical clearance.
6. Position the filter to safely direct water drainage.
Rotate the HiFlow™ Manual Air Relief Valve to
safely direct purged air or water. Water discharged
from an improperly positioned filter or valve can
