2.6.3 AnCHoRinG THe FiLTeR To THe eQUiPMenT PAD
In some areas, building codes require that all
appliances be securely fastened to the equipment pad
in order to withstand high wind pressures created by
hurricanes. Please follow all local codes and standards.
Anchor screws and washers are not included with the
filter.
1. After placing the filter, drill a hole at each of the three (3) holes
in the base of the filter. (The correct size concrete drill bit
should be obtained when the concrete screws are purchased.)
The concrete screws must meet any and all applicable building
code requirements.
2. Install the screws and washers to secure the filter to the
equipment pad. See Figure 4

3.1 inSTALL PReSSURe GAUGe

The pressure gauge is located in the accessory bag.
Mount the pressure gauge/air release valve assembly,
to the lid of the filter tank:
1. Place the gasket inside the bottom connection of the tee.
2. Thread the tee onto the threaded stem of the of the lid
assembly.
• It's not necessary to use PTFE tape.
3. Thread the vent plug into the larger corner hole of the tee.
4. Wrap the threads of the pressure gauge with PTFE tape and
thread into the tee until water tight. Make sure the gauge is
oriented properly. Do not over tighten the pressure gauge.
Over tightening may cause the tee to crack.
5. Place the snap ring on the gauge after the filter is installed
and the pump is running. Align the "Clean" arrow with the
pressure reading and press the ring over the pressure gauge.
If adjustments need to be made, hold the pressure gauge
with one hand while rotating the ring with the other in order
to prevent the gauge from rotating. Over rotation in either
direction may cause leaks or crack the tee fitting.

WARNING
To avoid an electrical shock hazard, which can result
in serious injury or death, ensure that all electrical
power to the system is turned off before approaching,
inspecting or troubleshooting any leaking valves
or plumbing that may have caused other electrical
devices in the surrounding area to get wet.
This filter operates under pressure. Install only on the
discharge side of a pump system.
. Do not over torque the screws.

CAUTION
Maintain your pressure gauge in good work ing order.
The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the
filter is operating.
When the lid is installed properly and the filter is
operated without air in the water system, this filter will
operate in a safe manner.
If the system can be subjected to a higher pressure
than the maximum pressure rating of any component,
install an ASME approved automatic pressure relief
®
valve or pressure regulator in the circulation system.
Set the relief valve or pressure regulator to lowest
working pressure of any of the components in the
system.
DO NOT INSTALL a positive shutoff valve on the outlet
plumbing of the filter. If the pump is operated with
a closed valve at the outlet, an explosive condition
