amiad T Installation & Maintenance Instructions

1"T (010010) / 1"T-Super (010011)
Thank you for selecting an Amiad filter. This filter has been designed to provide years of trouble-free service. Please
familiarize yourself with these instructions to ensure correct and reliable operation.

INSTALLATION

1. Amiad recommends using plastic connectors when installing the filter onto metal pipes.
2. Use only Teflon or silicon sealing material on the inlet/outlet connections. Do not use any sealing material on the
plastic ball valve connection to the filter drain port. This is a compression type fitting that does not require any
sealing material.
3. Install a shut-off valve upstream of the filter to facilitate cleaning.
4. Install the filter with the housing oriented downward.
5. The filter is available with either a Screen Cylinder or Disc Element. Make sure that the direction of flow is from
the inside/out in Screen Cylinders and from the outside/in in the Disc element.
WARNING: Improper flow direction or backflow through a screen may damage the filter element.

CLEANING

The filter requires cleaning when the differential pressure between the inlet and outlet reaches 0.5-0.6 bar (7-8 psi).
WARNING: NEVER OPEN THE FILTER WHILE IT IS UNDER PRESSURE!
1. Close the water supply to the filter and release pressure from the system.
2. Unscrew the lid to remove the filter element.
3. Screen cylinder: Rinse the screen with water. Use a soft brush for hard-to-remove particles. Do not use a metal
brush which may damage the screen.
Disc element: Twist the disc element core at each end and unscrew it counter- clockwise. This loosens the disc
core. Direct a stream of water along the disc edges to rinse with a spinning action. Hand-tighten the disc element
core after cleaning.
4. Insert the filter element into the housing. Make sure that the housing and element seals are in place. Tightly
screw on the lid, then backoff ⅛ turn for proper sealing.
5. Close the drain valve and open the inlet valve to pressurize the filter. Check for any leaks.
Maximum pressure drops across the filter element, for a short time should not exceed 6 bar (90 psi).
