Connecting the drum filter
4.3.1
Information regarding pipes
► Use suitable pipes. Flexible couplings are more suitable than PVC connection elements for connecting
inlets and outlets.
► Do not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45° are very efficient.
► Glue plastic pipes to ensure a permanent and reliable joint or use socket joints with clips to stop them
from coming apart.
► Standing water in pipes can freeze when there is severe frost and cause pipes to burst. For this reason,
lay pipes and hoses with an incline of 6 in/10 ft (50 mm/m), so that they can drain completely.

Connecting the inlet
W A R N I N G
The container is made of glass fibre reinforced plastic. Hazardous glass fibre particles are released
during drilling or sanding.
► Always wear a suitable respirator mask when drilling or sanding.
The filter system is equipped with a ∅ 2 in (∅ 50 mm) inlet for the filter pump. If necessary, the connection
set (18798) can be used to install a second inlet for an additional filter pump. This does not change the
flow rate of the filter system.
► Markings for the through holes of the second inlet are provided on the container wall. Ensure that the
through hole is cut out.
► Leave any unused inlets closed.
► You can also connect a UVS clarifier. (→ Fitting the UVC clarifier)
How to proceed:
E
1. Undo the threaded cap with flat seal from the connection.
2. Screw the union nut with the ∅ 2 in (∅ 50 mm) hose connector and flat gasket onto the connection.
Hand-tighten the union nut.
3. Push the ∅ 2 in (∅ 50 mm) hose of the filter pump onto the hose connector and secure it with a hose
clip.
