LOCATING THE CANISTER FOR BELOW GRADE
INSTALLATION
The EDC canister can be installed below grade. The minimum hole footprint is
24" x 24". The hold depth varies for per your requirements. Backfill the hole after
plumbing; be sure to compact the soil around the canister to ensure stability.

INSTALLING THE EDC AT GRADE
Set the canister at the desired position on the pad. Then anchor with appropriate
hardware using the three mounting feet. Failure to anchor the canister puts
undue stress on glue joints when removing the lid. Over time this can result
in leaks. Also, anchoring the canister reduces vibration and aids in quieter
operation of the equipment.

NOTICE Always be sure to have a minimum of 8
inches of pipe between the suction inlet of
the pump and the first connection whether
it is an EDC or a plumbing manifold.
The EDC canister is made of a 30% glass filled Noryl material for strength.
This requires priming the sockets two times, before applying the PVC glue.
Fittings, unions and pipe are not included.

PRESSURE TESTING
Fully secure lid assembly to canister before
proceeding. Do not exceed 50 psi. when
pressure testing. Failure to do so will result

Optional Ports:
The EDC canister has 3 optional ports. Two of the optional ports are ¼" NPT
blind ports located approximately 18" from the base. The third optional port is
located on the bottom side of the EDC. It is sized to accept ½" pipe or a ¾"
fitting.
If pressure testing is required, you can use the system pressure gauge to
determine testing pressure or you may use one of the ¼" NPT blind ports of
the EDC canister. This requires the ¼" NPT port be drilled through. Use a 1/8"
drill bit being careful not to damage the threads. The bottom of the ¼" port has
a drill point for centering your drill bit. Use thread sealant (DO NOT use Teflon
tape) on the pressure gauge. If you use this port for pressure testing at startup
you can either plug the port or install a vacuum gauge for normal operation.
The ¼" NPT ports can be used for a pressure gauge during pressure testing
or a vacuum gauge during normal operation. Another use would be for a
suction side device such as the Paramount Clear03 ozone generator.
The single ½" pipe ¾" fitting port can also be used for suction side devices.
