Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your DuraView Inlet Filter:

1. Inspect Components: Unpack the filter and ensure all components are present and undamaged. The package should contain one Brass Inline Water Filter.
2. Prepare Connections: Ensure the water source (garden hose) and the inlet of your pressure washer or equipment are clean and free of debris.
3. Connect to Water Source: Thread the integrated garden hose nut (3/4" GH inlet) of the DuraView filter onto your standard garden hose. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench if necessary to ensure a snug, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten.
4. Connect to Equipment: Attach the 1/2" NPT-M outlet of the filter to the water inlet of your pressure washer or other equipment. Use appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape) on the NPT threads to prevent leaks. Tighten securely.
5. Check Bypass Port (if applicable): If your model includes a bypass port, ensure it is either properly plugged or connected as required by your system.
6. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the water supply and check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections as needed.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the DuraView Inlet Filter operates automatically to filter incoming water. No special operational steps are required beyond ensuring proper installation and regular maintenance.

• The clear plastic cover allows for visual inspection of the filter screen. Monitor this regularly to determine when cleaning is necessary.
• Maintain water flow within the specified 8.0 GPM and pressure within 150 PSI to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the filter screen is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and preventing damage to your equipment.

1. Disconnect Water Supply: Turn off the water supply to the filter and relieve any system pressure.
2. Remove Filter Housing: Carefully unscrew the clear plastic housing from the brass body.
3. Remove Filter Screen: Extract the mesh filter screen from the housing.
4. Clean Screen: Rinse the filter screen thoroughly under running water to remove any trapped debris. A soft brush can be used for stubborn particles.
5. Inspect O-ring: Check the O-ring for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure a watertight seal.
6. Reassemble: Place the clean filter screen back into the housing, ensuring it is seated correctly. Reattach the housing to the brass body, hand-tightening until snug. Do not overtighten.
7. Test: Slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks.

Perform this maintenance whenever you observe a reduction in water flow or visible debris accumulation in the clear housing.
