Aeration Tank Installation
Aeration Head Assembly Quick Install
1. Insert the white disperser into the bottom of the aeration head. Twist it
clockwise to lock it into position. See figure 8.
Note:
The small hole in the white disperser must be in the position
shown after it is locked into position.
2. Insert the small grey rigid tube into the white disperser and up into
the aeration head. Note: The tube must go into the disperser
approximately 8-1/4”, until it contacts the stop molded into the aeration
head. Approximately 8-1/4” will remain sticking out of the white
disperser. If more than this amount is sticking out of the disperser,
the tube is not fully inserted into the aeration head. The tube can be
marked with a pencil at 8-1/4” as a visual guide. See figure 9.
3. Locate the large tube provided and mark it 4 3/8” from the end. Insert
it into the white disperser and aeration head until it contacts the stop
molded into the aeration head. Approximately 4 3/8” of the tube will be
in the white disperser when properly seated. Use the mark to verify it is
inserted deep enough. See figure 9.
4. Tighten the screw on the white disperser to secure the two tubes as
shown. See figure 10.
5. Install the assembly onto a tank.
6. Locate the bypass valve, inlet elbow, and 1” threaded adapters.
7. Lightly lubricate the external o-rings on the bypass valve with silicone
lubricant. Connect the bypass valve to the inlet and outlet connections
on the rear of the aeration head assembly. See figure 11.
Note:
Tighten the plastic nuts by hand only.
