INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS – ALL MODELS
1. Pipe feeder to cause pressure drop across inlet and outlet resulting in flow through feeder.
2. Provide isolation and drain valves for servicing and draining.
3. Use with hot or cold water only. DO NOT USE FOR STEAM (300 psi @ 200°F max.).
4. Be certain gasket is positioned in groove under cap before replacing cap. (Replace gasket if cap does
not seal by hand pressure.) Cap should seal with hand tightening pressure only. Do not strike cap with
any tool to seal or unseal.
5. Open valves slowly when returning service.
6.
CAUTION! DO NOT OPEN UNDER PRESSURE – close isolation valves and bleed off pressure
before opening.
7.
CAUTION! CONTENTS MAY BE HOT.
8. CONSULT YOUR CHEMICAL SUPPLIER FOR THE PROPER USE OF THIS TANK WITH THE CHEMICAL.
9. DO NOT COMBINE CHEMICALS IN THIS DISPENSING DEVICE – without specific instructions from your
chemical supplier. READ AND FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS FOR THE CHEMICAL IN USE.

at right.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FILTER BAG KITS
1. Loosen fitting 1 until the tubing turns in the fitting.
2. Install fitting 1 into the lower side connection of the tank with
the end of the tube pointing upward.
3. Retighten fitting 1 to the tubing. Tube should point straight up.
The ferrule on the tubing is preset for the tank diameter.
4. Place bag over the hanger wire. Pull the drawstring closed and tie tightly so the bag gathers
around the hanger base with the opening of the hanger base protruding from the bag.
5. Insert the bag and hanger base into the tank with the opening of the hanger base pointing
downward. The hanger base should engage the tube which is pointing upward and the
tubing should fit into the hanger base until the tubing rests against the edges of the wire
which protrude into the center of the hanger base.
6. The cap will keep downward force on the wire, keeping the assembly in place.
Important Note:
These instructions describe Neptune Models VTF and DBF By-Pass Feeders with
or without a filter bag plus Model DBFC By-Pass Feeders with Cartridge Filter and
Models FTF and FTF-DB Filter Feeders which use a bag inside the basket filter.
Note carefully the flow arrow shown for each type of feeder. The flow in the
standard by-pass feeder must be “upward” if a filter bag kit is to be used. The flow
on the by-pass feeder with a cartridge filter is “downward.” The filter feeder with
bag and basket filter requires “downward” flow.
