SECTION II

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

2.1 Mechanical Hook-Up and Orientation

The positioning of the filter should be determined by the disposal of waste water

and to allow easy access and removal of the filter element. The filter can rest on

the inlet or outlet and can be mounted on a stand if desired. The filter can be

mounted in any position (vertical, upside down, etc.) to allow easy operation.

The waste discharge pipe should be larger in diameter than the size of the flush

valve. The waste pipe should be kept as short as possible with no more than one

elbow. This will minimize back pressure on the flush line.

Flush lines should not be elevated. This will affect the pressure difference

required for the cleaning cycle. If it is necessary to run flush lines uphill, please

consult with the manufacturer.

Flush line pipe must be ridged. It should not be made out of flexible tube or

rubber hosing. Any restrictions in the flush line will reduce the cleaning ability of

the filter.

2.3 Filter Installation

1. Remove filter from packaging and inspect the contents of the packaging.

2. Connect the inlet and outlet line to the filter.

3. Connect a flush line to the flush valve outlet. The water must flow freely out

without any back pressure.

4. Check that all connections are properly secured

5. Check that all bolts on the filter cover are properly tightened and secured

2.4 Initial Operation

During start-up, the isolation valve at the filter inlet should be only partially open

to prevent a surge of pressure across the filter when the pump is started. Once

the pump is on-line, slowly open the isolation valve. This will prevent any

possible damage to the filter due to a pressure surge.
