Screw the supplied half barrel unions and tails onto the inlet and outlet before gluing the UPVC
piping onto the filter.
!
Note: Do not use liquid sealant or thread tape on the thread of the inlet or outlet threads of the
MultiCyclone or connecting barrel union threads.
Use only recommended glue for connection pipe and fittings
Cut and fit the pipe and fittings onto the MultiCyclone and the pump. Refer to Pump Installation
Manual for correct pump plumbing procedures.
It is best practice to fit all the cut pipe and fittings onto the filtration system before gluing; this
will ensure that the system has been aligned correctly.
Glue the pipe and fittings onto the pump, filter and pool return lines and allow the glue to set
for 24 hours before commissioning the system.
Plumbing Connection
1. Ensure that a foot valve/non return valve is installed if the pump is installed 500mm/20"
above the water level.
2. If the filter is installed below the water level or connected to mains water, isolation valves
should be installed at the inlet and outlet of the filter. This will prevent water flow during any
routine maintenance.
3. Minimise the length of pipe and the number of fittings to minimise restrictions to water flow.
4. Connect the pipe extending from the pump outlet to the inlet of the MultiCyclone.
5. Connect from the pipe extending from the outlet of the MultiCyclone to the next component
in line with the filtration system.
6. Glue all plumbing to barrel union fittings in accordance with glue (solvent) manufactures
specifications and allow 24 hours to set. Ensure glue (solvent) is not excessively applied to
fittings as this could run onto "o"-rings and create sealing problems.
Note: Waterco recommends that a shut off valve be installed after the MultiCyclone on the pool
return line to assist with flushing out the collected debris. Please refer to "Insufficient Water
Pressure".
7. Connect to Waste Line. Glue the plumbing from the Sediment Purge Valve to a waste line,
drain or suitable drainage area.
8. Turn on pool pump. Be sure to check that there are no leaks from the connectors. If required,
tighten by hand.
