CP Filter Series Technical Manual
12
When installing a plastic component in line, it is recommended that grounding straps be put in place BEFORE
the lines are actually cut to ensure that the ground is never broken.
When installation is complete, plumbing lines must be chlorinated for sanitation. Common household bleach
may be used. The amount of bleach will vary on plumbing size, lengths and fixtures.
Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and using the KineticoPRO Filter.
KineticoPRO Filter Installation CP213f
1. Determine location to install equipment. Make sure that the unit will be on a flat surface. Test the water to confirm
unit is properly sized for the installation.
A ladder should be used for all work over head that would be beyond your natural reach. If working
continuously at a height of six feet or more, the appropriate safety devices must be employed.
2. FOR UNFILLED MODELS CP 213f:
a. Remove module and remote base from media tanks.
b. Properly cover the distributor tubes to prevent media from getting inside.
c. For the Model CP 213f (carbon), place 25 lb or 0.25 ft
3
of gravel into each tank.
For the Model CP 213f (Macrolite), place 0.24 ft
3
of garnet into each tank.
d. For the Model CP 213f (carbon), place 2 ft
3
of media into each tank.
For the Model CP 213f (Macrolite), place 1.5 ft
3
of media into each tank.
e. Remove covering from distributor tubes, and replace the module and remote base onto tanks.
Verify installation complies with state and local plumbing codes before continuing.
3. Install with by-pass valve. Note the inlet and outlet arrows on valve head.
4. Install a pressure gauge and sample tap in the outlet piping.
5. Connect the inlet/outlet adapters leading to the filter using the proper size plumbing. Plumb as necessary to
accommodate the by-pass valve and to complete the installation.
Follow All State and Local Codes.
A scorch pad must be used to protect any surface that may be exposed to a torch flame or excessive heat.
When installing a plastic component in line, it is recommended that grounding straps be put in place before
the lines are actually cut to ensure that the ground is never broken.
Do not solder brass adapters while inserted in the module main base. Damage to the plastic and rubber parts
may result due to the heat. Also, the materials used in the soldering process may attack certain types of
plastics. Care should be taken during the installation process to assure that solder and flux do not come in
contact with media tanks, the control module and related plastic components.
Proper ventilation must be provided when using PVC cleaner or glue.
Loose clothing (ie.- shirt tails, sleeves, etc.) should not be worn or should be addressed before using a torch
for soldering or a drill for drilling.
6. After all plumbing is completed, but before connecting equipment, flush both the inlet and outlet lines by opening
the by-pass valve and allowing water to rinse out any debris in the lines.
7. Locate the enclosed kit containing: four O-rings, two pipes with O-rings and a silicone packet. Apply a liberal amount
of silicone to the four O-rings and the O-rings on the two pipes. Install the four O-rings on the inlet/outlet adapters.
