INSTALLATION / ASSEMBLY OF INTERNAL COMPONENTS
Installation of filter should be only carried out by qualified personnel.
Ensure that the under-drain assembly (hub, laterals & tube) are properly assembled & installed
prior to adding filter media (sand).
1. The filter internals comprise of a collector hub and eight (8) laterals, which are supplied
packaged seperately with the collector hub and are stored inside the filter tank prior to
shipment.
2. Carefully inspect the laterals and hub prior to assembly for any visible defects.
3. Please ensure all laterals are hand tight prior to adding media, as they may have loosened
during shipping.
Loading Sand Media
1. To keep sand out off collector assembly, place plastic sand shield
over top of collector tube before pouring sand into filter (See
diagram below).
2. To support laterals and prevent lateral breakage during loadings,
fill tank about half full of water before loading sand.
3. Pour sand into filter, making sure that the sand is of the correct
type and quantity for the particular filter model (Refer filter label).
Make sure gasket area on top of tank is free of sand before
installing valve.
4. Before installing valve, double-check that the correct quantity of sand has been loaded.
5. Remove plastic sand loading shield and keep for future use.
Installation of Multi-port Valve
1. Install o-ring on valve flange; make sure o-ring is clean, and has no nicks, tears, or scrapes
and lubricate with silicon based lubricant.
2. Make sure tank and valve flanges are clean and free of sand; put valve on top of tank.
Vertical pipe of collector assembly inserts into base of valve.
3. Install clamp; make sure knob is positioned for easy access for filter maintenance. Valve
port labelled "Pump" should point toward pump.
4. Tighten clamp knob until clamp ends (under bolt) are 1/4" (6mm) apart. Tap around outside
of clamp with a mallet to help seat clamp.
