INSTALLATION

Filter mount must:
Provide weather and freezing protection.
Provide space and lighting for easy access for routine
maintenance. (See Figure 1 for space requirements.)
Provide ventilation and drainage for pump.
Be on a reasonably level surface and provide adequate
drainage.
Air Bleed tube must
go inside pilot ring
in lid.
Pilot ring in Base.
FIGURE 2 – Assemble Air Bleed Tube as shown.
Piping:
NOTICE: Make sure that the filter and all piping can be
drained for winterizing. See "Winterizing", Page 6.
NOTICE: Overtightening can crack filter ports.
Use teflon tape, Plasto-Joint Stik
on all threaded connections of plastic pipe and fittings.
DO NOT use pipe compounds on filter; it will cause the
connection to crack. Do not use sealant on unions – as-
semble them dry and hand tight.
Support pipe independently to prevent strains on filter.
Keep piping tight and free of leaks: pump suction line
leaks may cause trapped air in filter tank or loss of prime
at pump.

Electrical:
BE SURE pump grounding meets local and National
Electrical Code standards. All wiring and grounding of as-
sociated equipment must meet local and National
Electrical Code Standards.
INITIAL START-UP
Be sure pump is OFF before starting procedure.
Do not operate filter at more than 50 PSI
(345 kPa).
1. Securely lock the Posi-Ring™ in place by rotating it
CLOCKWISE until it "clicks" past the safety latch (see
Figure 3). Stop turning as soon as the ring clicks past the
latch. The ring may feel slightly loose, but it will tighten
up when pump is on and filter is under pressure.
2. Install the pressure gauge and the air release valve
(See Figure 3) on the tank lid.

the safety latch.
3. Fill the trap on the pump with water.
4. Open the air release valve on top of the filter.
5. Open valves separating filter from the rest of the
system.
6. Start the pump to purge air from the system.
7. When a steady stream of water comes from the air
release valve, close the valve.
NOTICE: Leaking around the Posi-Ring™ may indi-
cate that the ring is not fully locked. In this case, pro-
ceed as follows:
A. Stop the pump and open the air release valve to
release any pressure within the filter.
B. Remove the drain plug and drain all water from
the filter.
C. Rotate the Posi-Ring™ clockwise until it locks be-
hind the safety latch (see Figure 3).
