'Without Valve' - what does this mean? That is referring the pressure valve on top I assume (which I could cannibalize from the old filter)?

I do not believe it means the relief valve on top. It say's in the ad, "and features an easy-to-read pressure gauge with air relief valve", I have purchased two of these filters in the past and they both came with the air relief valve. What it means is that the filter does not come with the HiFlow valve that connects to the filters in and out ports. Here is a link to the valve they are referring to. Pentair 261050 2-Inch HiFlow Valve with Plumbing Replacement Pool/Spa D.E. and Sand Filter

The valve they are referring to is the side mounted hi flow valve. (The one that says "Filter", "recirculate", "backwash"...etc). There are other models where there are no holes on the side and as such the plumbing and multi position high flow valve goes on the top....This is NOT that type of filter. So this ad means you get the pressure gage and air bleeder valve on top and not the side mounted multi position valve for "Filter", "recirculate", "backwash"...etc

The multi-port top mounted control valve does not come with the triton filter.

If you go to www.pentairpartners.com you will find the catalog for this filter the Triton II. It lists all the parts and their numbers. When I recieved my filter it did not include the black top valve/pressure gauge or the base ( black in picture ).

I just finished installing this and I can tell you that it "does" come with the air valve and gauge on the top of the filter. I don't know why they confuse the description with "without valve". It comes just as the picture shows and since there isn't a backwash valve in the pic, why would one think that it does? Idk, why does McDs have to put "caution, contents may be hot" on the side of a coffee cup? What the picture does show, are the PVC unions on the outside and it does not come this way. The backwash valve would have these parts and screws onto the male parts that are included on the filter.

No filter that needs to be replaced. Press the button on the bottom to let the water out, and that's it. It works great!

Don't understand what you mean by "without device". Can tell you that it won't work by holding the connector in your hand up next to the faucet. Gotta take off the existing aerator, put on the attachment that comes with the water flosser, and then snap in the flosser. BTW, we have taken ours off; even with the water on full force, not much of a spray in your mouth, just a lot of dribbling into the sink and an occasional mess from the spray hitting the mirror or counter top.

I have never figured out what that is really for. I always assumed it was like a relief valve in case the pressure got too high. Good question.

The purge valve is the one on the bottom of your canister by where the cord comes out; it looks just like the 2 on top of your filter. You "unscrew" that little white plastic cork out, and then you can add the purge valve tubing they give you that looks smaller than the tubing you use for the in/out valves on the top, and then turn the valve on bottom to open.

no. the bracket is optional. i did not use one. my install went as planned. my advise: 1. besure to install 3 valves for a by- pass. 2. spend an extra $10 for a pressure gauge since filter body is opaque (not clear). this is installed post filter to monitor pressure differential from line side. helps when to determine filter change time. 3. allow enough bottom clearance to drop filter body and install replacement or install 20 plus inch body and cartridge. 4. use wraps of teflon tape as instructed plus couple additional ( tape is cheap) leaks are not desirable. be sure to use silicone ( vegetable) grease on seal and housing threads so seal doesnt dry out adv

To make your experience of using this filter more user friendly, you need to buy three open and close shut off valves for when your doing different task with filter. One for intake, one for return and one for cleaning out inside of filter. That valve is on back of filter on botton. You can get them online.. E bay, Loews, home depot or a pool supply store, either in your town or online or here on Amazon. Will definately get them cheaper online with free shipping. Good luck and enjoy using filter. Make sure you use the white silicone tape on threads of valves before you install valves...

I don't know. I use distilled water and that eliminates the need for a filter.

I think that is referring to filters for the vacuum cleaner. I have the model that doesn't come with a vac (use my own), there is no filter (but my vac has one).

The part fits over the peg in front of the valve. Like you, I found nothing in the assembly instructions as to its purpose other than something that could be lost. It looks like something could be attached to the piece but I had no extra items remaining once I completed the assembly process so you have the option of placing the piece over the valve peg or putting it in a drawer for safe keeping.

I removed the filters from my two machines. In my opinion, the water tastes better without them.

There is no filter. Typically you would be using bottled water and no filter would be needed.

I installed one of these valves on my kitchen sink without a pump (as mentioned by an engineer in one of the online reviews) but the valve does not appear to work at all.

The water heater was originally istalled with the filter, so I never experienced it without the filter. I will say that I had a regular water heater before we installed this and the pressure doesn't seem any different from when we had that.

I never used the filter and I only imagine it is of use if you are in a hard water area. It worked fine without it.

The filter does not come with any valve. However, the manual states that it will accept either the Selecta-flo valve 2" SKT (SP0740DE), the Vari-flo valve 1 1/2" NPT (SP0710XR50) or the Vari-flo valve 2" NPT (SP0715XR50), in addition to the Slide Valve 2" SKT (SP0410X502S). I am using the DE3620 with my existing 20 yr. old 2" Slide Valve and it fit perfectly.

Short term yes you can do without but water is hard to maintain quality over long time and no filter means no oxygen in the water so it goes bad faster. Small water tester should let you know when its time to start over.
