SuGGeSted InStallatIon oF an Xclear BeadFIlter
A swing check valve installed below water level in a location of easy access makes the pump prime much more easily and prevents the pump
from being blown empty during rinse with blower.
pre-filters
The in- and output system of a beadfi lter has laterals (slotted pipe) to keep the beads inside the fi lter and therefore we need a pre-fi lter to
prevent the possibility of large solids (string algae, pine needles, leaves and fi sh waste) coming in from a bottom drain or submersible pump.
We strongly recommend the use of a pre-fi lter in the above-described situations.
There are several options that can be used as a pre-fi lter; by example you can use the Xclear Sieve (a gravity fed sieve fi lter) that can keep out
the larger solids.
