Thanks so much for responding on Facebook in order to help me explain the details of how the M10 filtration unit works. I appreciate the assist greatly as I am just a printer and the technical details for such things may escape me at times. But Greg Markus did a great job of explaining the system in the first part of the M10 Filtration video which will post this coming week. I’ll make sure to post that here and on Facebook to help everyone understand how the unit works and why it is important to have.
But now for a rundown on the installation of the M10 Filtration unit by RhinoTech; these first 3 pictures show what I was dealing with in order to install the unit under my very small washout booth. You can see I have a wall drain which is higher than the drain on the M10. Therefor a discharge pump operates inside the unit to remove the waste water.
- The wall drain.
- The small washout booth area.
- Wall drain still attached but the cross bars on the legs have been lowered.
After cutting out the wall drain pipe and lowering the cross bars on the washout booth legs I was ready to fasten them to the feet. This left me ready to install the wall drain attachment for the waste line and have the space needed for the M10 under the washout booth.
- Lowering the cross bars.
- The lowered cross bars are attached here.
Then I had to attach the waste drain fitting to the wall drain:
- Cut open wall drain.
- Fitting attached.
Now it was time to slide the unit under the washout booth and start rigging up the waste line and power to the discharge pump.
- Ready to install.
Now here you can see that I still need to add a little piece of pipe to lower the washout booth drain closer o the top of the M10 unit to avoid any splashing. I am also going to change the fitting on the side of the unit for the waste line to an elbow fitting so I can attach the waste line without having to curve it. And that will allow me to center it perfectly.
- Minor adjustements will be made.
This is where the electrical lines for the discharge pump exit the unit and go to your outlet:
- Electrical lines.
This is where the waste line connects to the wall drain using the fittings I assembled earlier:
- Waste line.
I also had to add a new upper cross bar for the legs to stabilize the washout booth from swaying side to side. I will probably add another cross bar someplace else to ensure the washout booth can be moved without falling apart...LOL.
- New leg brace.
Now you’ll just have to stay tuned to the Forum and the YouTube channel for the video that will have Greg’s explanation of the system with the unit completely installed and working. Just a few minor tweaks and I’ll finish that video this weekend and upload it to YouTube either Monday or Tuesday this coming week. Stay tuned!
