Important Notes:
•
All of the assembled components have been loosely fitted together. Use
Teflon tape on all threaded connections and tighten. Do Not Over-Tighten the
PVC fittings. (They will crack if over-tightened)
•
Refer to Figure 1 to find the locations for all system components.
•
Heat the end of hose connections in hot water before installing. Use the gear
clamps to fasten the hose to the barb fitting.
Install Assembled System Components
Step 1.
Locate and attach the BioSand water filter assemblies.
•
Inlet assembly.
•
Maintenance drain valve
•
Overflow assembly
•
Standpipe
Step 2.
Locate and attach the filtered water storage tank assemblies.
•
Inlet assembly.
•
Outlet assembly.
•
Overflow assembly.
Step 3.
Place the pump and pressure tank.
Step 4.
Install the low level and high level float switches in the storage tank shown in
Figure 3 -1. To do this, start by removing the supporting ring on the manway of the
filtered water storage tank. Position the low level switch near the bottom of the filtered
water storage tank and the high level switch near the top. Use the notched grooves to
locate the cords for the switches. Replace the supporting manway ring to hold the level
switches in place.
Piping Connections
Step 5.
Using the ¾” braided hose for connection between the barbed fittings;
•
Connect the raw water supply to the solenoid valve inlet.
Look for the flow direction on the solenoid body.
•
Connect the solenoid outlet to the filter inlet.
