from the inlet and outlet
ports on the main housing.
2
Pre-condition the unit by surge flushing. It's imperative that this system is flushed
properly prior to final installation. The granular carbon medium used in the bottom
tank contains 1-2% by volume of carbon fines that must be flushed out prior to use.
Surge flushing is the best method for purging these carbon fines from the media bed.
1
Using the supplied adapter,
connect a garden hose to
the inlet port so the water
will flow into the system
and out of the outlet port.
3
After an initial 15-minute flushing, begin
a period of "surge flushing" by turning on
water supply for 30 seconds and then
off for 30 seconds, repeating cycle for
15 minutes or until initial surge of water
is completely clear and free from
discoloration and cloudiness.
Turn off the main water
3
source prior to installation.
Pick an appropriate installation
4
location. Unit must be installed in
an area where the main water line
enters your home, before it connects
to the water heater. DO NOT install
after the water heater or on the
hot water line. Components and
installation will vary.
Do not over-tighten fittings, as this may cause leakage and broken fittings. Do NOT use
pipe dope. The use of pipe dope voids the warranty. You may use NSF-certified pipe
primer, glue and plumber's tape. Leave 2 or 3 threads exposed and do not exceed seven
layers of plumber's tape. More than seven layers will cause the nipple to crack and leak.

IMPORTANT Keep the unit in an upright
position at all times.
2
Slowly turn on faucet and allow
discolored water to flow from
outlet into a suitable drainage
area. The first few gallons will
appear black and cloudy due to
carbon fines.
4
Disconnect the system
from the garden hose
and position it for
final installation.
IMPORTANT
The inlet piping assembly must be firmly braced and supported.
Once installation is complete, slowly
5
turn on water and inspect for leaks.
Once the unit is installed and checked
6
for leaks, turn on the faucet closest
to the installed unit and allow water
to run for 5-10 minutes for the final
flushing period.
