Application
Use this filter to screen effluent under pressure. The base screen will
remove particles greater than 1/16" in diameter. An additional filter
sock will screen to either 100 or 600 microns. Applications include
LPP, sand filters, pressure dosed wetlands, drip distribution, and most
pressure applications.
Installation
Determine the discharge pipe length needed from pump to filter. Install
a 2" PVC discharge pipe for the 5000-0001 or a 3" PVC discharge pipe
for the 5000-0008. Note: Pumps with a smaller discharge size may be
adapted to fit. Glue the filter to the end of the discharge pipe. Glue a
6” long PVC pipe to a PVC union ball valve and glue this assembly to
the discharge of the filter. Plumb the discharge into the union and glue.
NOTE: Use PVC primer and solvent on all glue joints.
Service
The Clarus Environmental Pressure Effluent Filter requires periodic
service. The optional Service Alarm Switch will indicate when service
is needed. Excessive pump run times or high water may also indicate
a clogged filter. At a minimum, service the filter each time the septic
tank and/or pump chamber is serviced. Check with your local health
department for pumping recommendations.
To service the filter screen, disconnect power to the pump and unscrew
the 4" lid. Pull the filter screen from the housing and wash it out thoroughly
in an appropriate location with proper protection. Reinsert the cleaned
filter screen, replace the 4" lid and restore power to the pump. For
service providers, a spare screen will allow for a faster service visit,
since the dirty filter can simply be replaced and cleaned later at the
service provider’s convenience.
If the system is equipped with our Service Alarm Switch, the filter screen
does not need service until the Service Alarm Switch activates a light
or audio alarm. Service is still recommended each time the septic tank
and/or pump chamber is serviced.
Sock Installation
To install the sock in a standard filter screen, remove the
1/16" diameter SS wire handle by straightening out the 90° bend in
the wire handle with pliers and removing it from the filter screen. The
sock is installed inside of the filter screen.
At this time, the sock can be placed inside the canister screen and
wrapped around the seating surfaces on the top and bottom. This will
secure the sock in the filter. The sock is a 100 micron thermal nylon
or 600 micron seamless knitted polyester with 100 psi burst strength.
The sock is several inches longer than the filter screen so as to allow
the sock to be pulled around the filter screen flanges and secured as
shown below.
