Sand Filter SFSM | Installation & Operation Manual
2.6.3 Anchoring the Filter to the Equipment Pad
In some areas, building codes require that all
appliances be securely fastened to the equipment
pad in order to withstand high wind pressures
created by hurricanes. Please follow all local codes
and standards. Anchor screws and washers are not
included with the filter.
1. After placing the filter, drill a hole at each of
the three (3) holes in the base of the filter. (The
correct size concrete drill bit should be obtained
when the concrete screws are purchased.)
The concrete screws must meet any and all
applicable building code requirements.
2. Install the screws and washers to secure the
filter to the equipment pad. See Figure 4. Do not
over torque the screws.

3.1 Install Pressure Gauge
The pressure gauge is located in the accessory
bag. Mount the pressure gauge/air release valve
assembly, to the lid of the filter tank:
1. Place the gasket inside the bottom connection
of the tee.
2. Thread the tee onto the threaded stem of the of
the lid assembly.
• It is not necessary to use PTFE tape.
3. Thread the vent plug into the larger corner hole
of the tee.
4. Wrap the threads of the pressure gauge with
PTFE tape and thread into the tee until water
tight. Make sure the gauge is oriented properly.
Do not over tighten the pressure gauge.
Over tightening may cause the tee to crack.
5. Place the snap ring on the gauge after the filter
is installed and the pump is running. Align the
“Clean” arrow with the pressure reading
and press the ring over the pressure gauge.
If adjustments need to be made, hold the
pressure gauge with one hand while rotating the
ring with the other in order to prevent the gauge
from rotating. Over rotation in either direction
may cause leaks or crack the tee fitting.

CAUTION
Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order. The pressure
