Horizontally-mounted Systems:
Plumb the Inlet pipe at approximately 48” (122cm) away
and the Outlet pipe at approximately 20”(50cm) away from
the End Cast Iron Stand. Install water shut-off valves on
the new plumbing. The terminal ends of the new plumbing
must be a ¾” MNPT adapter in order to use the supplied
Stainless Steel Flex Hoses.
Vertical Systems:
Plumb the Inlet pipe at approximately 48” (122cm) and the
Outlet pipe at approximately 20” (50cm) off the ground. In-
stall water shut-off valves on the new plumbing. The termi
-
nal ends of the new plumbing must be a ¾” MNPT adapter
in order to use the supplied Stainless Steel Flex Hoses.
For left-pointing System configuration, reverse horizontal
orientation in FIGURE 13.
Note: The water bypass in the figure only bypasses the
System. This configuration may be required according to
the local code in your area.

System. This configuration may be required according to
the local plumbing code in your area.
The directional arrow on the Inlet Solenoid Valve must point
in the direction of the water flow.
Do not pressurize the Backpulse Tank to greater than
35psi. Higher pressures may cause the tank’s bladder
to burst, leading to ineffective daily cleaning. Ineffective
cleaning can greatly reduce the life of the System, lead-
ing to personal injury, illness, and/or death.
WARNING!
Turn off water supply where the water enters the
home.

Once the Backpulse Tank pressure is checked, adjusted,
and set, record final pressure on the Service Tag and on
Page 2 of the Owner’s Manual..
Ensure that all threaded connections are fitted with
NSF
approved Teflon® Tape or Pipe Dope (for potable water)
to
prevent leakage.
For Systems being installed on surface water applications,
the Surface Water Option Kit must be installed.
Note: The Surface Water Option Kit comes standard with
the UF100 with optional Surface Water Option Kit model.
