Replacing Lateral Pipe Center Assembly
1. Turn off the electrical power at the Pump’s power
switch and/or unplug it at the receptacle.
2. Close the water valves, if installed, to isolate the filter
from the system.
3. Remove multiport valve from the top of the tank, and
all sand media. (Refer to separate instruction sheet
P/N 241838 as needed.)
4. Holding the center pipe assembly inside the tank,
grasp the lateral arm near the center manifold and
turn firmly counter-clockwise to unscrew as shown
in
Figure 1
.
NOTE:
Lateral arms have locking notches to ensure
solid attachment. It may be necessary to use curved jaw
tongue-and-groove pliers to turn the lateral arm. Use
caution to avoid crushing.
Figure 1. Removing Lateral from Manifold
(Counter-Clockwise)
5. Remove all (8) eight lateral arms from the center
manifold in order to remove the manifold from the
tank.
6. The new center pipe and lateral arms must be
assembled inside the tank. Holding the center pipe
and manifold, install each lateral arm, screwing them
in by hand until you hear an audible click.
7. When all 8 laterals are installed into the manifold, the
full assembly may be stood upright so that the top of
the center pipe is centered at the opening of the tank
as shown in
Figure 2
.
8. Add the appropriate amount of sand media, and
reinstall the multiport valve.
