Page 5: Installation Requirements
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS 180 Series filters may be mounted directly on the inlet (N1) and outlet (N2) flanges, and positioned in any orientation. As shown below in figure 4, isolation valves should be installed at the inlet and outlet, and a bypass valve should be installed between the flanges. -
Page 6: Hydraulic Connections
Hydraulic Connection Each flanged connection nozzle (N1 & N2) on the 180 Series filter has two ¼” threaded couplings. One may be used to install a pressure gauge or other sensor equipment. The other ¼” coupling will be used to connect hydraulic tubing from the differential pressure switch to the filter. -
Page 7: Backwash Cycle
HYDRAULIC MOTOR CHAMBER (LOW PRESSURE) Figure 7: 180 Series Filter – Backwash Cycle Water flows through the suction nozzles, down the interior of the particle remover, and out the hydraulic motor. The rapid flow of water through the hydraulic motor forces the entire particle remover to rotate, enabling each suction nozzle to cover a radial strip of screen. -
