It also covers on-site preparations such as electrical and grounding connections, foundation requirements, and backwash pipe specifications. The guide emphasizes following installation drawings and using only original Netafim parts to ensure proper system operation.
The document includes sections on initial operation, troubleshooting, and warranty information, with detailed diagrams and measurements for tank dimensions and manifold support leg placements. It is intended for experienced technicians and includes warnings about pressure release and electrical safety.
| Maximum Working Pressure | 8 bar (116 PSI) |
|---|---|
| Grounding Connection | ≤ 10 Ω |
| Backwash Pipe Max Length | 20 m (65 ft) |
The maximum working pressure of the filtration system is 8 bar (116 PSI).
A standard full installer toolkit is adequate. An electric hammering drill and concrete drill bit are needed for connecting the control stand to the concrete slab. Specific wrenches are required for grooved couplings based on size.
The backwash pipe should be no longer than 20 m (65 ft), with a diameter never smaller than the backwash manifold. If longer than 33 ft, its diameter should be larger than the manifold. The pipe should not ascend above the manifold outlet elevation.
The grounding connection must be ≤ 10 Ω.
