INSTALL THE ANCILLERY COMPONENTS
TUFGAUGE PRESSURE GAUGE
To Install, drill an 8.5 mm hole in the PVC supply
pipe and clean the hole of any debris. Insert the
tapered end of the rubber grommet into the
hole.
Lubricate the brass barb and insert it into the
rubber grommet, ensuring full engagement.
Ensure the pressure is between 1 and 100 kPa
/ 15 psi (top fed systems 50 kPa / 7 psi max.).
TUFFILTA INLINE SOLAR FILTER
Determine the best location to install the
TufFilta®. This should be on the FLOW (cold)
line of the solar pool heating system, directly
after the solar/booster pump on the discharge
side. For manual systems (no pump or digital
controller), install the TufFilta® after the manual
3-way valve.
Install the TufFilta® using type N cement and
primer. Ensure that you install the TufFilta®
with the ‘FLOW’ arrow pointing in the correct
direction. Do not install the TufFilta® upside
down.
Install an isolating valve (check valve) on the
discharge side of the TufFilta®. This enables the
cartridge element to be removed and replaced
without drenching equipment or the person
performing the task.
