TACTICAL WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM (TWPS)
PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SET-UP OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
NOTE
If it is necessary to elevate the pump off the ground, such as at locations with
significant tidal variations, it will also be necessary to stake up the inlet hose at the
raw water pump inlet to limit the strain on the A-01 adaptor and to ensure a tight
seal (no air leaks) at the adaptor. Failure to observe this note may result in a
reduced pumping capacity or an inability to maintain prime.

Deploy the MF system equipment as follows: (See Figure 7)
WARNING
Two person lift. Two people are required to lift the MF feed tank. Lift with your
legs, not your back. Failure to observe this warning may result in back injury.
Three person lift. Three people are required to lift the MF feed pump. Lift with
your legs, not your back. Failure to observe this warning may result in back injury.
1. Position the MF feed tank, tripod, and MF feed pump as follows:
a. Place the MF feed tank in its rough location (about 20 ft. from the TWPS).
b. Unfold the ground cloth from around the tank and unfold the tank on the ground cloth.
c. Spread the tank out to its final shape and eliminate any ridges in the bottom.
d. Insert the MF feed tank Bag Strainer S-1 inside the MF feed tank. Overlap the top of the
strainer over the open lip of the feed tank.
e. Tighten the strainer draw rope to take up the slack and place it under a little tension.
f. Pull the tank inlet and outlet connections out away from the tank bottom so that they will
be clear when the tank is filled.
g. Set up the tripod at the side of the tank where the 2x10 raw water hose will be inserted.
h. Move Motor-Driven MF Feed Pump Skid P-3 roughly in place as shown in Figure 7.
i. Place the pump skid on solid footing and as nearly level as possible.
