For Multiport control valves with threaded ports use only Teflon tape, 100% pure Teflon paste (non-petroleum base), or Permatex #2
sealant on all threaded pipe connections, except fittings with O-rings. Use of other pipe joint compounds can damage components of this
system and cause leaks. For control valves with slip ports, use only ABS to PVC solvent welding adhesive.

The maximum working pressure of this filter is 35 or 50 psi, see Table 2. Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of this
amount - even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above maximum working pressure can cause the lid to be
blown off, which can result in severe injury, death or property damage.
When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing
system, insure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In most
cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.
If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief
or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.
C. LID INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
These instructions MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY to prevent the lid or valve from blowing off during system restart
or later operation:
1. Before working on any part of the circulating system, (e.g. clamp, pump, filter, valves, etc.) perform the following steps:
a.
Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during
servicing.
b.
Open the High Flow™ manual air relief valve.
c.
Wait until all pressure is relieved. Never attempt to assemble, disassemble or adjust the lid while there is any
pressure in the filter.
2. Be sure that the chamfered sealing surface inside of the brass, or plastic flange at the top of the tank is clean and free of any
sand or debris. Apply a light coating of SILICONE BASE LUBRICANT to the lid O-ring and install into the opening in the
top of the filter tank.
30 in. FILTERS ARE SHIPPED from the factory ready to accept a 2 in. control valve. If you wish to use the 1.5 in. control
valve, it is necessary to remove the 2 in. X 2 in. extension from the stand pipe and replace it with the 2 in. X 1.5 in. extens ion
fitting. This fitting is included in the accessory kit.
3.
Install the lid in the following manner:
a.
Thread the plastic lid into the top tank opening until the O-ring makes contact, then tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
4.
Follow the system restart instructions in Section D.
THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM (e.g., CLAMP, PUMP,
FILTER, VALVES, ETC.) IS SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN
CAUSE THE LID OR VALVE TO BE BLOWN OFF WHICH CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
D. SYSTEM RESTART INSTRUCTIONS.
1.
Open the High Flow™ manual air relief valve until it snaps into the full open position (this only requires a quarter turn
counterclockwise). Opening this valve rapidly releases air trapped in the filter.
2.
Stand clear of the filter tank, then start the pump.
3.
Close the High Flow™ manual air relief valve after a steady stream of water appears.
4.
The system is not working properly if either of the following conditions exist:
a.
A solid stream of water does not appear within 30 seconds, after the pump's inlet basket fills with water.
b.
The pressure gauge indicates pressure before water out-flow appears.
