Pre-Installation Checklist
A. Select a good filter location:
Install on the pressure (outlet) side of any pumps
In a vertical position with Purge Exit pointing down
Away from extreme weather conditions to protect from freezing
At least 12 inches away from walls, etc. so top handle can be twisted
Allow enough clearance beneath the unit to:
(a) attach a purge drain hose to the Purge Exit (recommended)
(b) remove the clear bowl assembly, to allow replacement of element as needed
B. As a sunny outdoor installation might lead to algae growth inside the clear bowl and
affect the operation of your TWISTIICLEAN. An optional Sun Shield is available.
Safety Notes:
Despite the ease of installation and operation of the LAKOS TWISTIICLEAN product, certain
precautions should be taken.
1.
Lubricate “O” rings with NSF approved silicon grease only - Dow 111 is recommended.
2.
Do not overtighten the threaded connections. Do not tighten more than a 1/4 turn past finger
tight. Hand tighten the bowl, do not use tools.
3.
Do not use wrenches on plastic filter parts. Use of tools on filter will void warranty.
4.
For threaded connections, use the Teflon™ tape sealant provided with product.
5.
Filter components that have “O” rings do not require thread sealant.
6.
Remove clear bowl if the filter is to be installed using any solvent welding. This will prevent
solvent damage to the clear bowl.
7.
This filter is designed for use with water only. Other chemicals or components can damage the
filter components. Evaluate all chemicals for proper usage with the filter.
8.
Protect unit from freezing, as you would with any other water supply lines.
9.
Follow all local and state codes, laws, and regulations when installing any filter.

If for any reason the filter element does not clean completely during the normal Twist to Clean
operation, manual cleaning may be needed. In this case, remove the bowl and clean the element with
a soft brush, brushing and running water across element.
Caution: If the filter bowl is to be removed, all water flow must be shut off going to the filter.

1. Remove the TWISTIICLEAN from its box. Check to make sure
the box also contains a small dispenser of Teflon tape and two
slip/threaded adapters for use if needed.
2. Be sure the clear bowl is securely tightened (hand tighten only).
The unit is shipped with the bowl loose. Lift the red safety latch
and rotate the top handle a few times to make sure it will rotate
1/4 clockwise turn.
3. Prepare the piping manifold to install TWISTIICLEAN. Select
the best fittings for your installation, using slip or threaded
fittings as desired. Notice the direction of water flow through the
unit -- a flow direction arrow is molded into the side of the unit.
(Fig A).
4. Use proper PVC solvents and follow gluing instructions on
solvent container. Do not spill solvent on any part of the
TWISTIICLEAN unit.
5. Mounting eyelets provide for a more stable installation (Fig B).
Stabilizer bolts are recommended for long term stability of your
TWISTIICLEAN. Use ⅜" Hex Lag Screws plus washers and
PVC pipe to connect to a secure surface. These parts are NOT
supplied with your TWISTIICLEAN.
6. Once installed, test by turning water supply on slowly, allowing
water to feed through the unit. Check for leaks. After lifting
the safety latch, twist the top handle with a ¼ clockwise turn to
re-direct the flow for cleaning. This should lift the screen element
inside the bowl and release flush water through the purge exit at
the bottom of the unit. Twist the handle back to its “run” position,
lower the safety latch and check for leaks.
7. Attach a flush drain hose (if necessary) to direct the purged
particle matter and excess water to a drain or other desired area
for discharge (Fig C).

TWISTIICLEAN removes sand and organics as the water passes through the filter element.
Periodic cleaning is necessary to optimize filter performance, reduce the pressure loss and
prolong the product life. When the filter element
looks like it is filled with debris, it should be cleaned.
Just a gentle 1/4 clockwise TWIST of the top
handle begins the patented reverse flushing action.
In just a few seconds, all debris are backwashed
off the filter element and flushed out the bottom
of the Purge Exit port. Be sure to raise the safety
latch before twisting the handle and lower it after
flushing.
