C. Installation Example 1
How your filter is installed will depend on how your system is structured and the specific requirements of your site. This example illustrates
a stand-alone filter installation with minimal added components in discharge plumbing like what is located on a municipal feed water
source (or pumped water where the pump is located remotely).
Pipe support is attached to pipe with a pipe attachment.

Unions are required for ease of maintenance and in order to make installation easier. With unions, at all recommended spots,
the filter may be removed for service and any threaded connections can also be easily accessed if any of these need to be
tightened up or resealed due to movement during shipping or installation.
It is recommend to install PVC unions on the inlet, outlet and drain. The drain will be a 1” union. The inlet and outlet will be either 1”
or 2” unions depending on the model ordered. Unions will make servicing and winterizing the filter much easier. A bypass loop with
bypass valve is also recommended so that the filter can be bypassed during service if required.
Follow standard PVC solvent welding procedure to plumb the filter into the irrigation line.
The Inlet, Outlet and Drain line pipes need to be supported so that no stress is transferred to
the filter. Pipe support is attached to pipe with a pipe attachment.
