- Fit the selector valve to the upper filter outlet, ensuring the O-ring is in place.
- Fit the elbow with the coupling and O-ring (do not use adhesive yet).
- Tighten couplings gently. Clean jointing area, apply ABS adhesive, reassemble, and allow to dry for at least 2 hours before use.
Note: It’s advisable to loosen other union connections to ease installation. Avoid excess adhesive to prevent damage to the valve interior.
Maintenance
Rinsing Procedure
After each backwash operation, perform rinsing before returning to the filtration cycle (Pump-Valve-Filter-Drainage).
Valve Disassembly for Maintenance
- Stop the pump and close off suction valves.
- Place lever between “Rinse” and “Filter” positions.
- Open drain valve and release purge screw to empty the valve.
- Remove the top section.
- Perform maintenance:
