Filtration
Waterco fibreglass filters operate on the basis of "depth filtration"; dirt is driven through the filter bed
and trapped in minute spaces between the particles of filter media allowing filtered water to pass
through the filter's laterals and exit via the filter's Multiport valve.

INSTALLATION

1. Position the filter as close to the Swimming Pool / Spa as possible.
2. Position the filter so that it is free from flooding, away from sumps, guttering, garden hollows, etc.
3. Position the filter so that the piping connections, Multiport Valve and winter drain is convenient and
accessible for operation, servicing and winterising.
4. Ensure that the compliance label is facing the front to allow easy identification.
5. The filter should be placed on a level concrete slab, very firm ground, or equivalent. Ensure that the
ground will not subside, preventing any strain from the attached plumbing.
6. Ensure that there is no movement of the filter during operation of the Multiport Valve.
7. Allow sufficient clearance around the filter to permit visual inspection of the entire system.

Filling the Filter Media
1. Before filling the filter media into the filter vessel, do a visual check of the laterals. Look for broken or
loose laterals. Replace if necessary.
2. To eliminate stress on the laterals, fill the filter vessel half full of water to provide a cushioning effect
when the filter media is poured in.
3. (a) Top Mount Fibreglass Filters - Top Mount Fibreglass Filters are supplied with a perforated
plastic locator, which centers the stem and prevents media from entering the stem pipe. Place the
perforated plastic locator on the centre stem of the filter and carefully pour in the filter media via the
perforated holes of the plastic locator. Remove the plastic locator once completed.
NOTE: If a template is not provided or is lost you must center the stem and cover the stem opening
to prevent non-alignment and media entering the stem pipe.
(b) Side Mount Fibreglass Filters (SM600) – Remove the top diffuser from the internal diffuser pipe
and place the flexible air relief tube to the side, out of the way, inside the filter vessel. Cap the internal
diffuser pipe with the filter media shield provided to prevent filter media from entering it. DO NOT
MOVE DIFFUSER PIPE as this can affect the integrity of the bulkhead seal.
NOTE: The above instructions do not apply to Sidemount Fibreglass Filters larger than SM600 filters.
Any filter media entering the diffusers will be removed during normal operation.
4. Wash all the filter media and debris away from the threads and sealing surfaces of the filter vessel.
5. Lubricate the o-ring or gasket (bolt down type) MPV and thread to the filter.
Lubricant should be silicon based and not petrochemical based.
6. Thread the Multiport Valve or Top Cap onto the filter tank and hand tighten.
