Page 3
Check the equipment upon arrival for damage or shortages and report same to our Office or Agent
before commencing installation.
Locate the unit on a clean, firm, level foundation, preferably concrete, with sufficient space for
operation and maintenance. Level with shims if necessary. Position the tank in the correct position
before loading the Media. The filter should be fitted with inlet and outlet pressure gauges to monitor
the pressure loss through the filter. It is recommended that the filter be backwashed when the
pressure differential increases by 35 kPa.
The control system is sometimes shipped as a sub-assembly to avoid damage in transit. The water
filter should be assembled, piped and wired according to the following recommendations. The
following instructions are provided as a general guide. The filter requires a 10amp 240 volt GPO.
The filter installation must be protected from the elements
