Star Water Systems TM06 (Flint & Walling) - Manual

1. WHEN TO REPLACE CARBON
As carbon adsorbs taste, odor and chlorine from your
water, its capacity diminishes. As the adsorptive
properties of the carbon diminish it must be replaced.
Because water supplies across the country vary, the
effective life of the carbon depends upon concentration of
contaminants and the amount of water that has been run
through the filter. It is recommended that the carbon be
replaced at least every three years. Some installations will
require more frequent carbon replacement. Use only this
replacement carbon and gravel designed for your filter and
in the supplied amounts. DO NOT MAKE
SUBSTITUTIONS as there are many qualities and grades
of carbon available.
2. REPLACING MINERAL
Refer to Figure 1 for mineral replacement.
Shut off water supply and open faucet to relieve A.
pressure in filter.
Loosen compression nuts and disconnect unions from
B.
plumbing.
Remove entire filter from undersink and move to
C.
outside area or place where carbon can be replaced
without worry about a small mess.
Unscrew the distributor head from the tank and pull out
D.
distributor tube.
Empty carbon and gravel into an appropriate container
E.
and wash all parts clean.
Reassemble unit by centering new distributor tube in
F.
tank and cover top end of tube with masking tape to
prevent gravel and carbon from entering the tube.
Using the mineral package, pour in gravel and then the
G.
carbon keeping the distributor tube centered in the
tank opening.
Remove cover from distributor tube and reinstall the
H.
distributor head.
The filter may now be reinstalled under the sink. Refer to
Start Up Instructions before using the filter. NOTE:
Record date carbon was replaced for future reference.
3. STARTING THE UNIT
Close the faucet and remove the aerator screen. Turn on
the water and slowly open the faucet a slight amount to
allow the air to bleed out. As the air is expelled and water
begins to flow smoothly open the faucet about halfway and
allow to run. Allow the water to run until it clears and no
air is left in the line. Replace the aerator screen.
Carbon takes a day or two to "wet out" so periodic black
color may appear. The aerator screen may require
cleaning especially if pressure drop or low flow is noticed
within the first few days.
IMPORTANT: At start up, new mineral will entrain air into
the water stream. This can cause the water to have a milky
appearance. This is a normal, harmless condition that
should last no more than a few days depending upon
water usage.
