Installation

Installing the Filter (Fig. A, B, C)

1. Insert the filter (5) into the transparent housing (4) and screw the housing onto the top section (2) by using a spanner (6).
2. Apply thread seal tape (Teflon tape) to the threaded coupling (7).
3. Screw the coupling (7) airtight into the filter outlet (3), as shown on figure B1.
4. If the coupling of the suction hose (11) has a female thread, an extra coupling (7) is needed. Apply thread seal tape (Teflon tape, not included) to the threaded coupling (7).
5. Screw the coupling (7) airtight into the filter inlet (1), as shown on figure B2.
6. Screw the pre-filter airtight on the water inlet of the garden pump, as shown on figure C. When the filter touches the ground, it is recommended to use a wooden block between the pump and the ground. The feet of the pump can be bolted to the wooden block.

Wall Bracket (Fig. A, C)

The supplied wall bracket makes it possible to attach the filter to a pole or wall.

1. Put the wall bracket (9) on the top section (2).
2. Mount the wall bracket (9) by tightening the four screws (8).
3. Mount the wall bracket (9) to a pole or wall by tightening two screws or bolts (not included).

Attaching the Suction Hose (Fig. A, C)

[Warning Icon] Do not use any hose connection system fittings or standard water hoses on the suction side! A suction hose (11) set with suitable coupling (G1" thread) and foot valve must be used. The foot valve prevents the return flow of the water at the end of the pumping process.

25mm, 32mm or 38mm (inner diameter) suction hose (11) must be used to achieve maximum flow rate.

The suction hose (11) should be as short as possible.

1. Fill suction hose (11) with clean tap water.
2. Apply thread seal tape (Teflon tape, not included) to the threaded suction hose coupling.
3. Screw the suction hose coupling airtight into the water inlet (1).

Filling the Pump and Filter with Water (Fig. A, C)

[Warning Icon] Air in the filter will stop the garden pump from working properly.

1. Unscrew and remove the air outlet (10) plug.
2. Fill the pump with clean tap water. Do not overfill the pump. See the pump manual. Check that the filter is also filled with water.
3. Place the air outlet (10) plug back, do not overtighten.
4. The pre-filter is now ready for use.

Maintenance

Cleaning (Fig. A, D)

[Warning Icon] For optimal performance, it is recommended to regularly change the filter (5) depending on level of use.
