Installation And Assembly; Receiving And Inspecting; Locating The Filter - Pentair filter Owner's/Operator's Manual

2.0 Installation and Assembly

If you have purchased the vessel(s) with the optional face piping kit, please
refer to documentation provided with the face piping kit.

2.1 Receiving and Inspecting

•
Upon receipt of filter(s), check the filter pallet(s) and auxiliary cartons for any
evidence of damage due to rough handling in shipment. If the filter(s) or any filter
components are damaged, NOTIFY FREIGHT CARRIER IMMEDIATELY.
•
Verify that you have all equipment contained on the Packing List(s) and that there is
no apparent damage to this equipment.
NOTE: BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION, MAKE SURE PROPER
SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS BEING USED.

2.2 Locating the Filter

•
Prior to installing the filter(s), be sure to provide a PERMANENT LEVEL SLAB on
which to mount the filter. Preferably the slab should consist of reinforced concrete
poured in a form. Alternately, the filter(s) can be mounted on a platform constructed
of concrete block or brick. The platform must be able to support the weight of the
entire system (including media and water). DO NOT use sand to level the filter(s) or
for pump mounting, as it will wash away.
•
Position the concrete slab so that the instructions, warnings and the pressure gauges
on the system will be visible to the operator. It should be positioned so that the
piping connections, manway, and drain are convenient and accessible for servicing
and winterizing. If possible, ensure that the filter(s) are positioned to accommodate
any rough plumbing that may have been previously installed. Dimensions 'A' and 'B'
in Figure 1 (next page) give the minimum filter to wall clearance in order to maintain a
6" minimum clearance between the tank and the wall (or other equipment). These
are only given as minimum distance guidelines. Tanks may be set up at larger
clearances if desired.
IMPORTANT:
If a pre-glued diaphragm valve face piping kit has been purchased, it is
very important that the center to center ("C-C") of the tanks be held to the dimension listed
in Figure 1. Failure to do so may cause the piping kit not to fit properly.
