Sediment Filter Applications

For pricing & order information contact a RUSCO Representative in your area.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION 1. Install the filter in a location that protects it from damage such as impact, freeze, excessive heat, chemical contact and water hammer. 2. Install the filter in the preferred vertical position with the purge outlet pointing down and also where it can be easily accessed for cleaning and maintenance. 3. Install the filter on the discharge side of the pump to allow the filter to be cleaned by purging through the flush valve. 4. Refer to arrows on the filter body for correct water flow direction. 5. Adhere to all local and state codes, laws and regulations. 6. Use approved solvent cement for gluing PVC connections. Follow gluing instructions on glue container. It is recommended that the CLEAR COVER BE REMOVED FROM THE PVC BODY PRIOR TO THE GLUING PROCESS. Any excess glue that comes in contact with the clear cover will damage it.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS 1. The primary method of cleaning the filter is purging separated solids through the flush valve while the filter is under system pressure. The purging process can be done manually or automated with our Automatic Flush Valve. 2. The filter element may need to be removed and cleaned. To remove the filter element, turn off the water supply, drain water pressure, unscrew the clear cover and remove the filter element. Wash off collected sediment by spraying with water. Remove fine particles wedged in the screen with a soft brush. Apply silicone grease to o-rings if needed and reassemble. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
