Weather Protection
Davey Cartridge Filters are constructed of corrosion resistant materials.
However, to ensure years of reliable performance, it is recommended that
the filtration system is adequately protected from the weather.
Assembly
Assemble the pressure gauge to the filter lid using Teflon tape on the male
thread. Do not over-tighten.
Pipe Connections
Piping should be independently supported and not impose heavy loads on
the filter or pump. Use 40mm or 50mm pipe for pump and pool return lines.
50mm should always be used if length of piping is over 15m.
If the pump and filter are located below pool water level, it is necessary to
fit isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and the pool, and in the
return line from the filter to the pool.
1. Pump to the Filter
Davey Cartridge Filters are equipped with two inlet ports marked ‘INLET’.
Select the inlet port most suitable for the installation and plug the other
inlet port with the blanking cap provided. Using quick connect couplings,
connect the pool pump delivery piping to the selected inlet port. Tighten
by hand only. Ensure the oring on the fitting is clean, lubricated with oring
lubricant and in the correct position.
2. Filter to Pool Return
Using quick connect couplings, connect the pool return piping to the filter
fitting marked ‘OUTLET’. Tighten the fitting by hand only. Ensure the oring
on the fitting is clean, lubricated with oring lubricant and in the correct
position.
The filter base is provided with four mounting holes to enable it to be
secured, if required.
Barrel unions need to be hand tightened on. No sealant, glues or
silicones are required.
