Installation & Operation Manual
Copyright © Puretec Pty Ltd 2018
• The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing
misalignment but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
• Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A
silicon lubricant may be used on the black o-rings but it is not necessary.
• Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon tape is the preferred sealant
but is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
• All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for
the drain line should be a minimum of ⅝”.
• Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on filter system.
• Install grounding strap on metal pipes if required.
• Ensure the system is protected against high pressure and extreme temperatures.
Facts to Remember While Planning Your Installation:
•
All installation procedures MUST conform to local plumbing codes.
•
If lawn sprinkling, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for other
devices/activities are to be treated by the Multitrol system, a larger model MUST be
selected to accommodate the higher flow rate plus the backwashing requirements of
the Multitrol system. Contact Puretec for assistance.
WARNINGS
Pre-installation
Note: Solder joints must be done prior to connecting to the valve fittings. Leave at least 6”
between the fitting and solder joints when soldering pipes. Failure to do this could cause
heat damage to the fittings.
This should be carried out by a qualified tradesman.
