Service Instructions
The SEAGULL®IV X-6 Purification System, furnished with General Ecology, Inc.’s RS-6SG Cartridge
Module, should require little or no service other than an occasional Module replacement.The need for
changing the Module will be apparent from an obviously reduced flow rate due to clogging. Service should be
accomplished by the following procedure.
IMPORTANT: In order to avoid reinstalling the Unit in the reverse direction, the Inlet and Outlet Pipes should
be labeled prior to disconnecting the unit. On all General Ecology stainless steel Pressure Vessels, the
Port closest to the Vessel Cover’s side is the Supply (INLET) Port and the center Port is the Service
(OUTLET) Port.
Disassembly
Removing Module from Unit:
1. Close supply, open downstream valve or faucet to
relieve pressure, then close service line valves. Loosen
Closure Nuts and gradually remove Dielectric
Positioning Pads to lower Unit to supporting surface.
2. Place Unit over drain or a container to catch excess
water as the V-clamp is removed, and remove V-clamp.
3. Carefully raise the Cover from the Unit and remove the
Cartridge Module. (We recommend the use of rubber
gloves to protect the skin from direct contact with the
potential concentration of impurities that may be on the
outside of the Cartridge Module.) Dump excess water
from the Bowl and rinse clean. Be careful not to dent or
cut the Bowl Flange, nor cut, nor allow dirt on any of
the Gaskets.
4. Be sure the Rubber Pedestal is properly in place on the
raised center of the Bowl bottom.
5. Be sure Gaskets are clean and free of cuts and other
potential leak paths.
6. For ease of installation look inside of cover for center
port O-rings and apply a light coating of petroleum jelly
before aligning and re-inserting the cartridge module.
7. Lower new RS-6SG cartridge module into bowl.
8. Center the Cover on the Module while aligning it with
the Bowl Flange and press down into position.
9. Install V-clamp and tighten (do not over tighten) while
lightly tapping the outside of the V-clamp (not on the
bolt). A light coating of petroleum jelly applied to the
insides of the V segments will ease clamp installation.
Reinstallation
Placing the Unit back in service:
1. Reposition the Unit per initial installation, being careful
to replace the Closure Nut Gaskets properly and to
position the Unit to eliminate strain on the Service and
Supply Lines. Only tighten the Inlet Port Nut at
this time.
2.
Slowly
open the Supply Line Valve allowing water to
enter the Unit.Trapped air will exhaust through the
loosely connected Outlet Port until the Unit fills. When
water starts to flow from the Outlet:
a. Close the Inlet Valve.
b. Snugly tighten the Outlet Closure Nut.
c. Open the Outlet Valve.
d. Reopen the Inlet Valve to place the
SEAGULL®IV X-6 Unit in service.
3. Allow water to run for three to five minutes to remove
air and particles from the new module.
