INSTALLATION

Screen Filter

Install add-ons (optional)

 • 

It is recommended to install a secondary (screen) filter 
on the main line, downstream from the media filtration 
system.

 • 

It is recommended to install a manual isolation valve 
downstream from the media filtration system for 
maintenance purposes.

 24.

 Flatten the surface of the media.

 25.

 Make sure that the filling port and its gasket are clear of any remaining gravel particles and close the 

filling port.

 19.

  Close all the openings of the manifold end-caps with the 2” plugs supplied with the control kit.

 20

. Connect the filtration system inlet and outlet to the main irrigation line with grooved couplings.

 21.

  Connect the backwash pipe to the backwash manifold with grooved couplings.

 22.

 Visually check (with the aid of a flashlight) the inside of all the tanks, through the filling port, for 

damaged, missing or unsecured under-drain diffusers (“flutes”). Replace, re-fit, re-connect and re-
secure if necessary.

ATTENTION

Before filling the tanks with media

Fill each tank with water up to a third of its height with a hose through the filling port adding 
media, to prevent damage to the under-drain diffusers when pouring the media.

 23.

 Fill the tanks with media through the filling port. Fill each 

tank up to the media level marker on the filter tank.

*Crushed silica sand. Quantity may vary depending on

  manufacturer specifications.
