CONTROL PANEL
Mount the control panel in an easily accessible location as close as possible to the membrane
housing(s).
SEA STRAINER
Mount the sea strainer with the provided 3/4" NPT nylon nipple directly to the intake of the 20micron
pre-filter housing. If an optional boost pump is required (refer to “Available Options and Accessories”),
mount the sea strainer in a serviceable location in between the seacock of your choice and the boost
pump.
To avoid excessive mechanical stress, do not connect/mount the sea strainer directly to the sea-
cock.
Connect the barbed fittings with the supplied coil reinforced intake hose and secure all hoses below
water level with two hose clamps. For boost pump installation refer to the “Installation Instructions”
(Optional Equipment).
PRE-FILTER HOUSING
Mount the pre-filter in a serviceable location and connect the bottom port of the cleaning / storage valve
to the bottom intake hose fitting of the high-pressure pump. Secure the hose with the two stainless steel
hose clamps. If the optional 3/4" nylon tee with flush/storage valve is supplied, connect the 3/4" hose
fitting on the tee to the bottom intake fitting of the high-pressure pump.
INSTALL ALL PLUMBING TO ELIMINATE ANY AIR POCKETS IN THE SYSTEM
CAUTION: USE A MAXIMUM OF THREE WRAPS OF TEFLON TAPE ON ALL THREADS
TO PREVENT LEAKAGE, IF YOU HAVE TO RE-SEAL FITTINGS. ALWAYS KEEP THE
TAPE BACK FROM THE END OF THE FITTINGS (AT LEAST TWO THREADS). DO NOT
ALLOW ANY TAPE TO ENTER THE SYSTEM.
HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
The high-pressure hose has factory mounted high-pressure couplings on each end (also included are
two field attachable fittings). This hose comes in a 20foot length, so it may be cut to suit your needs.
Leave a little extra length of hose.
Never bend the high pressure hose tighter than a 4”/10cm radius.
Assembly instructions for the stainless steel field attachable high-pressure couplings:
1) Cut the hose in a clean 90
°
angle (preferably with a cutting disc).
2)
Un-assemble the coupling.
3)
Rotate the outer part anti clock wise on to the hose.
4)
Apply dishwashing liquid mixed 1:1 with water on to the nipple of the high-pressure coupling
(inner part) and the inside of the hose.
5)
Counter the high pressure coupling with the supplied assembly tool (hexagonal plug) and screw
the nipple all the way into the hose.
