• Save Water
• Reduce backwash frequency.
Please Note: the Multicyclone 70Xl is designed to filter sediment that is heavier than water; floating
debris cannot be filtered out by centrifugal filtration.
INSTALLATION
Be sure to comply with the local plumbing codes. The filter may be plumbed into a drinking water
system and would, therefore be subject to whichever local regulations that may apply.
Be sure that all provisions for wastewater disposal meet local, state or national codes. Do not
discharge water where it will cause flooding or damage.
If the incoming water pressure is higher than the maximum operating pressure of 350kPa /3.5Bar
/50psi, a Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) must be installed upstream of the filter inlet.
The PRV should be set to 90% of the maximum operating pressure of the tank.
If the incoming water flow is less than the filter’s minimum flow requirements, the filter’s filtration
efficiency will be affected, please consult Waterco.

PLUMBING CONNECTION
1. Connect the outlet from your pump to the inlet of the MultiCyclone 70XL.

3. Connect to Waste Line.
Glue the plumbing from the Sediment Purge Valve to your waste line.
4. Turn on pump.
Be sure to check that there are no leaks from the connectors. If required, tighten by hand.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
Filter maintenance determined by the following conditions:
