TEMPEST FILTER INSTALLATION IDEAS
TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS WITH A FILTER
FLOW RATES
Install a Tempest Filter after a primary filter on a GRAVITY FED SET-UP, such as
the Nexus+, and after a UV Clarifier, such as an evoUV. The slide valves on the
Tempest Filter enable connection to 1½" pressure pipe.
The installation example shown below has a by-pass that will enable you to
increase the flow through your pond while maintaining the optimum flow through
the Tempest Filter. Installing ball valves on the pipe work will help you regulate
the flow. The return from the Tempest can go back to the centre of your Nexus+
or back into the pond.
To allow the Tempest filter to give the best performance, it is important that the
flow rate is no more than the 5,000 litres per hour. These installation examples
show a by-pass that will enable you to increase the flow through the pond.
IMPORTANT: Ensure slide valves are fitted to inlet and outlet of
the Tempest filter.
IMPORTANT: We always recommend fitting unions when installing in
line equipment on your system which help when removing the filter.
IMPORTANT: Optimum flow rate through the Tempest filter is
5,000 LPH / 1,100 GPH / 1,320 US GPH
