INTRODUCTION
MultiCyclone 70XL is capable of saving water and reducing lter maintenance.
The MultiCyclone 70XL works on the basis of centrifugal water ltration. There are no moving parts
to wear and tear, and no lter media to clean or replace.

DRAIN / FLUSH VALVE
Incoming water is guided by a diverter plate so that it enters multiple hydro cyclones tangentially
generating a strong centrifugal effect. This spins the sediment out to the hydro cyclone’s wall and
then spirals it down to the sediment chamber, while the cleansed water spirals upwards.
The accumulation of sediment can be visibly monitored through the MultiCyclone 70XL’s clear sight
glass. The MultiCyclone 70XL is cleaned by simply opening the purge valve.
MultiCyclone 70XL is ideal as a pre-lter to extend the life of your existing lter.
• Save Water
• Reduce backwash frequency.
Please Note: The MultiCyclone 70XL is designed to filter sediment that is heavier than water; floating
debris cannot be filtered out by centrifugal filtration.
INSTALLATION
Be sure to comply with the local plumbing codes. The lter may be plumbed into a drinking water
system and would, therefore be subject to whichever local regulations that may apply.
Be sure that all provisions for wastewater disposal meet local, state or national codes. Do not
discharge water where it will cause ooding or damage.
If the incoming water pressure is higher than the maximum operating pressure of 250kPa /2.5Bar /36
psi, a Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) must be installed upstream of the lter inlet.
The PRV should be set to 90% of the maximum operating pressure of the tank.
If the incoming water ow is less than the lter’s minimum ow requirements, the lter’s ltration
efciency will be affected, please consult Waterco.
MultiCyclone 70XL Recommended Operational Flow Rates
Minimum ow rate: 36m3/hr (158.5 GPM)
Maximum ow rate: 96 m3/hr (422.7 GPM)
PLUMBING CONNECTION
1. Connect the outlet from your pump to the inlet of the MultiCyclone 70XL.
Glue the plumbing to the Barrel unions and Allow 24 hours for glue (solvent) to set. Ensure
solvents are not excessively applied to ttings as this could run into o’rings and create sealing
problems. Screw the barrel union on to the inlet of your MultiCyclone 70XL and hand tighten.
2. Connect from the outlet of the MultiCyclone 70XL to the inlet of your
filter.
Glue the plumbing to the Barrel unions and Allow 24 hours for glue (solvent) to set. Ensure
solvents are not excessively applied to ttings as this could run into o’rings and create sealing
problems. Screw the barrel union on to the outlet of your MultiCyclone 70XL and hand tighten.

3. Connect to Waste Line.
Glue the plumbing from the Sediment Purge Valve to your waste line.
4. Turn on pump.
Be sure to check that there are no leaks from the connectors. If required, tighten by hand.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
Filter maintenance determined by the following conditions:
1. The ow rate through the MultiCyclone 70XL is insufcient to meet the demand.
2. The sediment chamber is half lled with sediment.
The accumulation of sediment can be visibly monitored through the MultiCyclone 70XL’s clear sight
glass. The MultiCyclone 70XL is cleaned by simply opening the purge valve
FLUSHING OUT THE SEDIMENT CHAMBER
Whilst the water pump is running simply open the sediment purge valve until the sediment has been
ushed out. This is visible through the clear sight glass.
Once the sediment has been ushed out, close the sediment purge valve.
