Installation
Install the filter on a flat area of concrete or other solid surface. Locating the
filter closer to the water source is preferred simply because better water
flow is achieved by virtue of there being less resistance from the use of less
piping. The unit should be installed so that it is horizontal. A level should be
used to ensure that the unit and is fully horizontal. If the mounting surface
is not level, leveling of the filter can be accomplished by adjusting the feet
beneath the filter as they are may be raised and lowered by rotating them.
The filter should be installed so that the top of the DRUM within the filter is
level with standing water line within the pond, pool, tank or other body of
water that’s being filtered. In other words, the standing water level inside
the filter should be between the top of the filter drum and the horizontal
plate that holds the float tube. (When your water pump is a turned on and
filtration begins there will be a drawing down of the water inside the filter so
that the top of the drum will no longer be fully submerged beneath the
water.)
