speak with one of our customer service representatives.
I. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Safety precautions are essential when any filtration equipment is involved. These precautions are necessary when using, storing, and
servicing your filter. If safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury or product damage may occur.
Your filter was designed for specific applications. It should not be modified and/or used for any application other than originally
specified. If there are any questions regarding its application or installation, contact Advantage, Inc.
Always heed the following precautions, as they are essential when using your MLS In-Line Filter.
1)
Read this manual carefully. Consider the applications, limitations, and the potential hazards specific to your filter.
2)
(Flanged units only) The filter must be placed on a firm, supporting surface. The filter should not be suspended by the Inlet
and outlet flanges.
3)
Absolutely under no conditions should the filter lid or pressure gauges be removed while the filter is pressurized.
Standard bolted lid models should never exceed 150 PSI; V-Band clamp models should never exceed 125 PSI.
4)
Units with damaged or missing parts should never be operated. Contact our customer service representatives for
replacement parts.
5)
Back-flow prevention devices should be installed upstream of the inlet and downstream of the outlet of the filter as to prevent
back flow or vacuum effects which may be damaging to the filter element.
6)
Pressure relief valves of a sufficient size and volume should be installed upstream of the inlet and downstream of the outlet
of the filter. They should be set to relieve pressure at 1.2 times the maximum operating pressure (not to exceed the max.
rated pressure). This helps prevent damage to the filter and element if severe stoppage or water hammer occurs.
AT NO TIME SHOULD THE INTERNAL PRESSURE EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RATED PRESSURE FOR YOUR FILTER
II. BEFORE FILTER OPERATION
There are a few tasks that must be accomplished before your MLS In-Line Filter is ready for operation. Please review the following
checklist. When all tasks are complete the filter is ready to be used.
1.
(Flanged Units Only) Is your MLS In-Line Filter placed on a firm, supporting surface? Failure to do this may cause stress
on the weld joints. Advantage recommends a concrete pad be poured under the base of the filter.
2.
Are the inlet / outlet connections securely fastened to the in-line pipe? The arrows clearly depict flow direction (see above).
