Step 1: Carbon Soak for Tank 1– Brief Description, see instructions
for details on page 5
Connect the bypass valves to the tank head. Attach the threaded 90-degree elbow with
the appropriate o-ring and split ring in place to the up-flow side of each bypass
valve.(hand tight) Now screw the backwash assembly to the 90-degree elbow. Attach
your hose to the assembly and turn the water on slowly until the water begins to flow out
the down-flow inlet side and turn the water off. Let the media soak in the tank for 48
hours before washing the carbon. This process allows the media bed in the tank to de-
aerate. Follow instructions on page 6, 7 & 8
Step 2: Carbon Wash for Tank 1 - Brief Description, see instructions
for details on page 9
This process allows most of the carbon fines (dust) to be removed from the carbon bed
inside the tank before installation. This will remove most of the carbon fines from the
tank although it may still be noticeable for a short time once put into service. Follow
instructions on page 9 & 10
Step 3: Installation
The plumbing will start with the shut off valve then the pre-filter followed by the filter.
Follow the instructions starting with the pre-filter assembly on page 4. Then follow the
directions on page 11 along with the diagrams supplied.
Note: After installation the arrows on the bypass valve may be pointing in different
direction than the diagram shows, if this is the case simply pull up on the red arrows to
take them off and turn them around.
