GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1.
LOCATION
1. Select a position near a floor drain that has adequate carrying capacity to handle the filter
backwash flow rate. Refer to the Specification Table on page 2 for the backwash flow rate.
2. Erect the filter on a level, firm foundation, preferably concrete. The valve and piping are
normally in front.
3. Level the system.
3.2.
MECHANICAL
NOTE: Please verify that you have the proper amount of gravel and media on site before
proceeding. If the amounts of gravel and media on site differs from what is listed in
the Systems Specification table contact Diamond H2O for the correct amount.
NOTE: The control valve and bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing
misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the
plumbing.
1.
Thoroughly read and comply with the
instructions provided in this manual.
2.
Thread the control valve onto the fiberglass tank
to determine the correct “Front Orientation”.
Mark the location on the tank with tape.
Note: After the gravel and media are loaded it is
very difficult to move or rotate the tank.
3.
Remove the control valve and install the PVC
distributor system into the tank.
4.
Locate the tank, with the proper front
orientation, and then fill the tank approximately
half full of water.
5.
Cover the exposed end of the distributor pipe to
prevent any gravel and/or media from falling into
the riser.
