Installing and Rinsing the Carbon Element
The Carbon Element MUST be rinsed before using the
system the first time.
1. Install the new Carbon Element into the Carbon
Element Housing.
2. Screw the Carbon Element Housing (containing the
Carbon Element) into place on the Carbon Element
Head. The housing will come to a hard stop at the end
of the thread. Use a Filter Wrench if necessary.
NOTE: Do NOT overtighten the Carbon Element Housing.
3. Direct water from the Rinse Ball Valve to a drain.
4. Open the Rinse Ball Valve and close the Outlet Ball
Valve.
5. Turn on the water to the system by slowly opening the
Inlet Ball Valve.
6. Allow water to flow through the Carbon Element and
Carbon Element Housing to flush out trapped air and
any debris that may be present.
7. To help remove trapped air from the Carbon Element
Housing, press the RED Pressure Relief Button on the
top of the housing until water just begins to come out.
8. Rinse the Carbon Element for at least 5 minutes.
NOTE: Do NOT consume water used during this process.
9. When the rinsing is complete, close the Rinse Ball
Valve and open the Outlet Ball Valve.
10. The system is now ready for use.
INSTALLATION (continued)
Flushing the Outlet Plumbing
To ensure that the highest quality water is produced from the
system, the plumbing leading from the filter system must be
flushed clear of all debris after the system is hooked up. After
making the connection to the outlet of the filter system, open
the faucet or tap closest to the filter system, then slowly open
the Inlet Water Valve. Allow the pipe to flush until all debris is
removed.
Sanitizing the System and Lines
The plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible contam-
ination that may have occurred during the installation process.
One ounce (30 ml) of liquid chlorine bleach (regular bleach,
unscented 5.25 % - 6 % sodium hypochlorite) or Kay-5
sanitizer solution (Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione Dihydrate,
6%) or equivalent can be used to sanitize the plumbing.
The Kay-5 sanitizer solution is made by dissolving a 1 oz.
packet of Kay-5 powder in 2 oz. (60 ml) of clean warm water.
This can be done by removing 1 inch from the top of the
Kay-5 packet and adding the 2 oz. of warm water to the pack-
et. Mix with a coffee stirrer to dissolve. When added to the
system, this will create a 60-100 ppm chlorine solution.
NOTE: Follow the handling and safety instructions
supplied with the sanitizer.
NOTE: If installed, remove the Carbon Element and TAC
Cartridge from the system BEFORE Sanitizing.
1. Follow the steps in the Rinsing the Ultra Filter
Cartridge in the Installation section of this manual.
2. Turn off the water to the system.
3. Open the faucet or tap closest downstream to the
system.
4. Allow the system and plumbing to drain.
5. Remove the plug installed in the sanitizing "T" fitting at
the inlet of the system. Allow the water to drain out of
the system.
6. Pour the sanitizer into the inlet sanitation fitting using a
cup or funnel. Be careful not to spill the sanitizer onto
clothing or skin.
7. Reattach the plug on the sanitation fitting.
8. Slowly turn on the water supply to the system.
9. Allow water to flow through the system and out of the
open faucet or tap until the smell of sanitizer is present.
10. Close the faucet or tap.
11. Let the system stand without water flow for at least 15
minutes to allow the sanitizer to sanitize the pipes.
12. After 15 minutes without water flow, open the faucet or
tap.
13. Allow water to flow through the system until the
presence of sanitizer is gone.
14. Open all other faucets and taps in line with the system
to flush any remaining sanitizer from the plumbing.
15. Close all faucets and taps.
