:
3A. ASSEMBLE FEEDER VALVE AND BOTTLE. CONNECT TO MINERAL TANK
IF INSTALLING A CLARIFIER, NEUTRALIZER OR TASTE
&ODOR FILTER, SKIP THIS PAGE AND GOTO PAGE 11.
1. At the location you have chosen to install the filter, lift
and set the mineral tank assembly onto the larger end of
the base (Figure 3).
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU LIFT THE TANK,
AS IT IS HEAVY. DO NOT LIFT BY THE VALVE OR VALVE
COVERS.
2. Check the feeder valve to be sure the large o-ring
seal is in place on the underside. Then remove the cap
from the bottle and carefully turn the valve into the bottle.
After the o-ring just touches the top of the bottle, tighten
another 1/8 turn. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN OR THE
BOTTLE WILL DEFORM AND LEAK.
WARNING: HANDLE THE BOTTLE CAREFULLY. THE
POWDER (POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE) IN THE
BOTTLE STAINS DEEPLY. KEEP IT AWAY FROM CHIL­
DREN.
NOTE: The bottle is only partly filled with powder (about
6 lbs.). The empty part of the bottle is needed so it can
fill with water to dissolve the powder.
3. Shake the bottle to level the powder. Then set the
bottle and feeder valve assembly into the base, next to
the mineral tank (Figure 3). You can turn the base ro the
bottle is on either side of the tank.
4. Remove the filter top cover (held in place with four
screws).
5. Take the 4 ft. length of 5/16” O.D. plastic tubing and
connect it to the feeder valve, and to the nozzle venturi
housing on the filter (Figure 4). Tighten the nut-ferrules
as tight as you can with your fingers.
6 . Carefully replace the top cover, aligning with the face­
plate, and install the four screws.
