Installation
1.
Pre-Installation
1.
Select a convenient location for the installation of the filter, where operation and maintenance will be optimal. It is
recommended that a lifting device is available for maintenance.
2.
Prepare a thick concrete base (minimum 4"/100mm) for the filter / battery. It is recommended that the site
dimensions exceed the filter / battery dimensions by at least 1 m (3.2 ft.) on all sides.
To ensure that surface water collects and flows to a lower elevation, away from the installation site, verify a 2%
drainage slope to the desired direction.
3.
Arrange suitable lighting at the area around the filter, to enable good visibility and safe maintenance.
4.
Arrange suitable platforms and safety barriers to enable easy access to the filter. Do not climb on pipes and other
equipment.
5.
Flush the main water line thoroughly before connecting it to the filter. This way any large debris that may damage the
filter will be removed.
6.
Locate the filter in its place and pay close attention to the correct direction of water flow.
7.
Refer to the below drawing for reference of recommended installation:
