Commercial Horizontal Sand Filter | Installation & Operation Manual
ENGLISH
• Able to safely direct water drainage.
• Accessible for drainage and proper sand
removal.
• Able to purge air and water safely away
from other equipment, electrical controls or
connections.
• Stationary and not subject to movement.
2.7.3 Anchoring the Filter to the Equipment Pad
In some areas, building codes require that all
appliances be securely fastened to the equipment
pad in order to withstand high wind pressures
created by hurricanes. Please follow all local codes
and standards. Anchor screws and washers are not
included with the filter.
1. After placing the filter, drill a hole at each of
the four (4) holes in the base of the filter. (The
correct size concrete drill bit should be obtained
when the concrete screws are purchased.)
The concrete screws must meet any and all
applicable building code requirements.
2. Install the screws and washers to secure the
filter to the equipment pad. See Figure 3. Do not
over torque the screws.

3.1 Remove Components From
Shipping Crates/Cartons
CAUTION
The wrapping is intended to protect the finish surface of the tank
during transit and installation. It will protect the finish from solvent
drips, overspray, dust, dirt, and other construction contaminants.
1. Remove the wrapping.
2. Due to the weight and size it is recommended
that mechanical means be employed to move
the filters into position.
3. Remove the pipe manifolds from shipping
crates.
4. Position all hookup materials so they will be
accessible during the entire assembly operation,
but away from the assembler’s foot traffic.
NOTE:
Proper tank alignment and a level floor surface
are critical to assure proper installation and
maintaining tank warranties.
3.2 Position the Tank
1. Pay attention to the location and routing of the
influent, effluent and waste line plumbing when
planning the proper location of the filter system.
2. Prior to tank positioning, chalk lines are
recommended for tank installations.
3. The tanks must be level and parallel to each
other or damage may occur to filter tanks,
operating valves or plumbing.
4. Position the tank in the desired location and drill
anchor bolt holes with a drill bit.
5. Use compressed air to clean out drilled hole.
6. Assemble the washers and nuts onto the wedge
anchor bolts.
7. Position the holes in the filter leg with anchor
bolt holes and drive the wedge anchors into
place with a hammer until the washer is flush
with the top of the anchor plate.
8. Tighten all nuts and bolts.
