Installation & Compatibility Notes
Mount the filter on a level equipment pad capable of supporting the filled tank weight. Connect the pump discharge to the filter inlet and the return line to the outlet. Select a compatible multiport or slide valve that fits the side-mount configuration. Ensure all plumbing is secured and pressure-rated. Prime the system, add the specified amount of filter sand media, and confirm the initial pressure reading post start-up for baseline monitoring.
Maintenance Tips
- Backwash the filter when pressure rises 8–10 psi above the clean start pressure or as specified.
- Inspect and replace sand media every 5–7 years or when cleanliness and clarity drop off significantly.
- Check the clamp closure and lid O-ring periodically for wear, cracking, or leaks.
- Flush the tank and rinse the internal lateral manifold during sand replacement to avoid recurring pressure buildup.
- Ensure no debris or corrosion is present at plumbing connections and that the side-mount ports are tightly sealed.
