ASSEMBLING YOUR DIATOM FREEDOM FILTER

1. To insert the P-4 filter bag into the main casting: the small hole in the round- shaped insert should
be in line with the turbulence connector port for best operation. The hole allows air to escape
from the jar when the unit is filling with water. Its location on the outer edge of the insert dictates
that it is in a position of constant pressure during the re-circulating or starting phase of the filter
and also while the filter is in operation. Force the filter bag insert into the impeller cavity as far as
it will go, until firmly seated, approximately 1 inch into main casting. (Fig. 2)
2.
Install the P-5 turbulence tube by forcing one end over the turbulence tube connector port on the
bottom of the main casting. (Fig. 4)
