Process Efficiency Products (“PEP Filters”) filtration equipment has been designed to give long, trouble-free
service when properly installed, operated and maintained. This manual contains important installation
procedures and should be read prior to installing. This manual is also a guide for proper filter operation,
maintenance and winterizing. It is important that maintenance personnel review this manual carefully, including
the Safety Precautions and Warnings located on page 7 before performing any maintenance on this industrial
water filter.
Note that the recommendations on the frequency service are minimums, and where operating conditions are
severe, the service should be performed more often. For each required service, follow the procedures outlined
under the Maintenance Procedures section in this manual. If additional information beyond the scope of this
manual is required, contact your local PEP Representative or PEP Filters.
