SECTION II. FILTER INSTALLATION. A. GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM, e.g., CLAMP, PUMP, FILTER, VALVE(S), ETC. IS SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE THE LID TO BE BLOWN OFF WHICH CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 1.
10. Provide space and lighting for routine maintenance access. Do not mount electrical controls over filter. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches, timers, control systems, etc.) at least five (5) feet from the filter. This will allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during system start up. 11. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual verification that the clamp is properly installed around the tank flanges, see Figure 1. 12.
D. HOW TO CLEAN THE SEPARATION TANK, performed after each backwash operation. (If installed or if applicable.) The purpose of the separation tank is to collect the spent diatomaceous earth during backwashing (cleaning) of the filter. It must be cleaned after each backwash to prevent any clogging problems. It is recommended that this procedure be repeated to ensure complete backwashing of the filter. One backwashing may not be sufficient. Figure 3. 1. Open valve C and valve D* to drain separation tank.
7. Use garden hose to rinse down filter elements until all debris has been flushed from tank. Then screw drain plug on backwash line on models with Separation Tank. 8. Unscrew wing nut; remove washer and unclip air vent tube from holding wheel. Remove holding wheel. 9. Lift out filter elements and scrub each element with a soft brush. If elements are coated with scale, it will be necessary to brush with a mild solution of muriatic acid (10 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid). Rinse elements with water. 10.
