Optional mounting stand
an optional mounting stand is also available for situations where the MultiCyclone cannot be
installed directly above your pool pump.
Installation with optional Mounting Stand
Plumbing
1. Check that the incoming water pressure is within the filter's recommended working pressure and
ensure that a pressure limiting valve is installed if using mains water or a high pressure pump.
2. Ensure that a foot valve / non return valve are installed if the pump is installed 20" above the water
level.
3. If the filter is installed below the water level or connected to mains water, isolation valves should
be installed at the inlet and outlet of the filter. This will prevent water flow during any routine
maintenance.
4. Minimize the length of pipe and the number of fittings to minimize restrictions to water flow.
5. Ensure that all plumbing connections are glued and tightened securely to prevent leaking.
6. Ensure solvents are not excessively applied to fittings as this could run into "o"-rings and create
sealing problems.
7. do not over tighten fittings or adapters.
Screw the supplied half barrel unions and tails onto the inlet and outlet before gluing the UpVC
piping onto the filter.
!
Use only recommended glue for connection pipe and fittings
Cut and fit the pipe and fittings onto the MultiCyclone and the pump. refer to pump Installation
Manual for correct pump plumbing procedures.
It is best practice to fit all the cut pipe and fittings onto the filtration system before gluing; this
will ensure that the system has been aligned correctly.
Glue the pipe and fittings onto the pump, filter and pool return lines and allow the glue to set
for 24 hours before commissioning the system.
Plumbing connection
1. Ensure that a foot valve / non return valve is installed if the pump is installed 20" above the
water level.
2. If the filter is installed below the water level or connected to mains water, isolation valves
should be installed at the inlet and outlet of the filter. This will prevent water flow during any
routine maintenance.
3. Minimize the length of pipe and the number of fittings to minimize restrictions to water flow.
4. Connect the pipe extending from the pump outlet to the inlet of the MultiCyclone.
5. Connect from the pipe extending from the outlet of the MultiCyclone to the next component
in line with the filtration system.
6. Glue all plumbing to barrel union fittings in accordance with glue (solvent) manufactures
specifications and allow 24 hours to set. Ensure glue (solvent) is not excessively applied to
fittings as this could run onto "o"-rings and create sealing problems.
Note: Waterco recommends that a shut off valve be installed after the MultiCyclone on the pool
return line to assist with flushing out the collected debris. please refer to "Insufficient Water
pressure".
7. Connect to Waste Line. Glue the plumbing from the Sediment purge Valve to a waste line,
drain or suitable drainage area.
8. Turn on pool pump. Be sure to check that there are no leaks from the connectors. If required,
tighten by hand.
