SECTION 1. SEPARATION TANK INSTALLATION
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The separation tank should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the tank so that the instructions,
warnings and pressure gauge are visible to the operator. Also, position the separation tank so that the piping
connections, control valve and drain port are convenient and accessible for servicing and winterizing.
2. Separation tanks are designed to work primarily with diatomaceous earth

WARNING
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. Position the separation tank and High Flow™ manual air relief
valve to safely direct water drainage and purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly
positioned tank or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal injury as well as
damage property.

7. The base of the separation tank is provided with four (4) mounting bosses for the purpose of anchoring the
tank to the concrete.
8. The maximum working pressure of the separation tank is 50 psi. Never subject the separation tank to
pressure in excess of this amount, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above 50 psi
can cause the lid to be blown off, which can result in severe injury, death or property damage.

If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an ASME approved automatic
Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the lowest working pressure of any of the
components in the system.

1. If the separation tank is plumbed to return water back to the pool, a by-pass valve must be used. This valve
must be closed when not backwashing through the separation tank so that the separation tank is not under

recommended in the line from the separation tank. If the system is operated with such a valve closed, the
pressure in the entire system would go abnormally high and could present an explosive situation. Additionally,

A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The separation tank operates under pressure. When the lock ring is installed properly and operated without air
in the water system, the separation tank will operate in a safe manner.
2. WARNING! The maximum working pressure of the sepataion tank is 3.5 BAR (50 psi). Never subject the
tank to pressure in excess of this amount - even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above
3.5 BAR (50 psi) can cause lid separation, which can result in serious injury, death or property damage.

gauge in good working order.

WARNING
Your separation tank is a piece of machinery, do not tamper with it, attempt to disassemble it or
otherwise adjust it unless you fully understand it’s operation. Serious injury or death can occur if the
equipment is improperly handled. Consult a pool service professional for maintenance and service
assistance.

B. If the D.E. is returning back to the pool upon backwashing, check to make sure the bag is seated properly on
the separation bag ring. Also check the bag to see if it is torn or missing. If the bag is torn, a replacement is
needed.
C. The pressure gauge is an important part of the separation tank. It is your primary indicator of how the system
is operating. Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order. Check the operation of your pressure gauge
in the following manner:
1. The pressure gauge should go to zero (0) when the system is turned off and pressure is relieved.
2. The pressure gauge should indicate pressure when the system is operating.
3. The pressure gauge should be readable and not damaged in any way.
4. Replace the pressure gauge if it is not meeting the requirements of items D.1 through D.2 of this section,
above.
