1) Filter installation

Filters are delivered properly packed and ready in order to

facilitate unloading and transport using fork-lift truck,
crane, etc. It is very important to make sure that the filters
have not suffered bumps during transport.

To obtain a correct filter installation, the following stages must

be observed:

· Install filters in their final location.

· Install correctly the butterfly valves in the filters.

· To connect with the flange of the filter, use PN1.6MPa or

Class E 15bar PVC pipe.

· Install butterfly valves supports and regulate them correctly
(height, etc.)

· Connect butterfly valves with the pipe of the pumps, return
pipes and drain.

· Check the inner parts of each filter (collectors, top
diffusers).

· Fill the filters with water.

· Empty half the water and add the filtration element

(gravel, sand and/or anthracite), etc.

Instrument Panel installation:

· Before running the filter, drill a Φ11.4 diameter hole in the
filter's return pipe and drain that connects to the water
inlet and outlet.(Figure 1, Figure 2)

· Tap a 1/4" thread to the hole with Teflon tape. (Figure 3,
Figure 4)

· Twine the connection head with Teflon tape, fix to 1/4"
thread and connect to the direct head and the valve of
the panel.(Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7)

Caution:

· Tap with PN1.6Mpa or Class E 15bar PVC pipe.
