Assembling Your Diatom® Freedom Filter
Contents - How to Charge your Diatom Filter
1. To insert the P-4 filter bag into main casting: the small hole in the round shaped insert should
be in line with the turbulence connector port for best operation. This hole allows air to escape
from the jar when the unit if filling with water. Its location on the outer
edge of the insert
dictates that it is in a position of constant pressure during the recirculating or starting phase of
the filter and also while the filter is in operation. Force the filter bag insert into the impeller
cavity as far as it will go, until firmly seated, approximately 1 inch into main casting. (Fig. 2)
2. Install the P-5 turbulence tube by forcing one end over the turbulence tube connector port on the bottom of the main casting. (Fig. 4)

3. Fill the chamber base 1/2 full with water.
4. Securing the casting assembly to the jar : be sure that none of the filter bag is caught between the rubber seal and the jar. The Diatom Freedom Filter has a flat gasket seal. Align the pump assembly with the gasket on the jar lip and tighten the jar ring. (Fig.7)
