Lock Ring Installation
These instructions MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY to prevent the lid from separating from the tank during system restart
or later operation.
1. Perform the following steps before working on any part of the circulating system
(e.g., lock ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.).
a. Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the
system is not inadvertently started during servicing.
b. Open the High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve.
c. Wait until all pressure is relieved.
Never attempt to assemble,
disassemble or adjust the filter lock ring while there is any pressure
in the tank.
2. Be certain the O-ring is in position in the lower tank half. Place the filter lid over the
lower tank half, making sure it is fully and firmly seated on the tank half, see Figure 2 .
3. Place lock ring over the tank lid, and centering the lock ring on the threads of the
tank body. Turn the lock ring clockwise until the safety latches click and the lock
ring hits the stops on the body. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVER-TIGHTEN THE
LOCK RING AFTER LOCK RING HAS HIT THE STOPS ON THE BODY.
4. Follow the System Restart instructions below.
System Restart
1.
Open the manual air relief valve until it snaps into the full open position (this only requires a quarter turn
counter-clockwise)
. Opening this valve rapidly releases air trapped in the tank.
2. Stand clear of the tank, then start the pump.
3. Close the manual air relief valve after a steady stream of water appears.
4. The system is not working properly if either of the following conditions occur.
a. A solid stream of water does not appear within 30 seconds, after the pump’s inlet basket fills with water.
b. The pressure gauge indicates pressure before water outflow appears.
If either condition exists, shut off the pump immediately , open valves in the water return line to relieve pressure,
and clean the air relief valve according to Cleaning the Air Relief Valve on page 4. If the problem persists, call
(800) 831-7133 for assistance.

D.E. SEPARATION TANK OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE CIRCULATING
SYSTEM (e.g., LOCK RING, PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC.) IS SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME
PRESSURIZED. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE THE LID TO SEPARATE WHICH CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY,
DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
