Installation (continued)
6. Thread the flush valve (F) on to the bottom of the filter bowl (E). FINGER TIGHTEN ONLY PLUS 1 or 2 TURNS.
IMPORTANT: The use of quality pipe joint compound approved for use with PVC is recommended. If using P.T.F.E. thread seal
tape, uneven and/or over application of tape may result in flush valve failure due to stress cracking in all types of PVC/plastic fittings
and valves.
7. Install the filter in the preferred vertical position with flush valve pointing down. However, the filter will work in the horizontal
position if unable to be installed in the vertical position.
Optional: Install a pipe into the bottom of the flush valve (F) so that water and sediment can flow to a drain when cleaning.
(See CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS below)
The filter should be installed where it can be accessed for proper cleaning and maintenance. Unions should be used on the
inlet, outlet, and drain line to allow for easy maintenance. A shut off valve should be installed on the outlet side to help with
maintenance and cleaning.
Install the filter on the pressure side (after discharge) of the pump to allow the filter to be cleaned by flushing collected
sediment through the flush valve. This can be installed before or after the pressure tank and pressure switch. However, if
being installed before the pressure switch (between pump and pressure tank) be sure to frequently monitor and flush the
Sediment Filter, as a backup of sediment could cause a lower system pressure. A false reading of system pressure can
cause the pump to not shut off and can cause permanent pump damage.
When installing on metallic plumbing, maintain proper electrical grounding. Do not overheat the filter when soldering copper
joints.
Cleaning Instructions – Flushing the Sediment
1. The primary method of removing sediment from the system is by flushing separated solids through the flush valve while the
filter is under system pressure.
2. Open the flush valve (F) for 15-30 seconds while system is under pressure from the pump or tank.
3. For irrigation systems without pressure tanks:
Open the flush valve
Make sure sprinkler valves are turned off
Turn the pump on for 15-30 seconds. This will flush out the filter screen.
NOTE: To avoid water-hammer, always close the flush valve slowly.
4. The filter screen (C) may need to be removed for cleaning. To remove the filter screen, turn off the water supply, drain water
from the system, unscrew the filter bowl (E), and remove the filter screen (C). Wash off collected sediment from the screen
with warm water. Remove fine particles wedged in the screen by brushing with a soft brush. Apply silicone grease (DOW 111)
to O-rings (B and D) if needed. Reassemble filter screen, bowl, and cap O-ring after cleaning. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY (Use of
tools will void warranty).

Step Down Filtration (Optional)
Step down filtration is recommended when there is heavy sediment found in the water supply. It requires the water to run through
multiple Sediment Filters.
1. Install a Sediment Filter with a screen that has larger openings (ex. 60 mesh filter) first in line after the pump. This will filter
out large, coarse sediment first, allowing small sediment to pass through.
2. After installing the first Sediment Filter, install a Sediment Filter with a screen that has smaller openings (ex. 100 mesh filter).
This will filter out small, finer sediment.
