PLEASE NOTE:
• If the drain manifold is over 50’ in length, a 6” diameter drain pipe is
recommended. This will eliminate back pressure to the fi lter during the
backfl ush mode.
• If there is positive elevation of the drain manifold, the pressure required
for backfl ush will increase. For every 2.3 feet of elevation, an additional
1 psi must be added to the minimum downstream pressure of 30 psi.
INSTALLATION:
• Make sure that the inlet and outlet orientation is correct (shown by arrows on fi lter).
• Prior to start-up, check for any damage to the unit.
• Connect
backfl ush drain manifold.
• Cover clamps need to be properly closed with safety pins secured.
• Verify the solenoids are correct as ordered before connecting the wires to the backfl ush controller.
DRAIN MANIFOLD INSTALLATION:
BACKFLUSH CONTROLLER ELECTRICAL WIRE HOOK-UP:
• Use 1/2” conduit and 16 gauge wire or larger from the controller
to the solenoids.
• C is common to all solenoids 24 VAC or 12 VDC. For the 12 VDCL
(latching), use positive or red lead.
• M is master valve – used with Pressure Sustaining Normally
Open or Electric valves to control the downstream fl ow.
• Terminals 1-8 for each solenoid for the “hot” lead.
• Seal the wire access holes to the controller.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Prior to Installation:
1. Take precautions while lifting, transporting or installing the fi lter.
2. Installation of the fi lter should be performed so as to avoid direct water
splashing on the electronic backfl ush controller.
3. Confi rm that the fi lter weight, when full, meets the support construction
requirements.
4. Prior to installation confi rm that line pressure matches fi lter’s operational
pressure.
5. During installation, use standard fl anges and connections only.
6. Check that all fi lter fl ange bolts are properly secured.
7. Please note, the fi lter enters a fl ushing mode automatically, without prior
warning.
8. Use original parts only when servicing the fi lter.
9. Netafi m cannot accept responsibility for any changes or modifi cations to the
equipment.
PLEASE NOTE:
Before opening the fi lter clamp, check that
there is no pressure in the fi lter. Open the 1”
brass ball valve found on the side of the fi lter
body to release any pressure in the fi lter.
