Cut off the ports that you plan to use, either before or after placing the Filter Tank.

Note: Filtrific provides different port size options with each Filter Tank. Make sure the Flex-Coupling included with the kit fits over the port before cutting.

Now that you have established where finish grade will be around the water feature you can excavate for the Filter Tank. Dig the hole so the top rim of the Filter Tank is level with the lowest edge of the water feature.

Note: When excavating make sure to plan for the Filter Tank and any Expansion Tanks. Make sure the Filter Tank and any Expansion Tanks will fit within the excavated area with about 6” of room for connection fittings.

Allow room for 1” of compacted sand below the Filter Tank. This cushions the bottom of the Filter Tank and also makes leveling easier.

Level the Filter Tank and backfill up to where the T40SP Side-Pod(s) will rest. Add a layer of compacted sand and slide the T40SP Side-Pod(s) into place.

Connect the Filter Tank to any additional Expansion Tanks.

The T75F (shown right) has a T40SP Side-Pod connection port on the front of the tank. The T40F (not shown) connects to the T40SP Side-Pod using the back-lower port labeled “More Capacity.”
