2.8 USING THE WASTE BAGS
As received by the user, the two 5 liter waste bags will already be connected and reside in the bottom
compartment of the carousel. However, YSI suggests that users become acquainted with the routing of the
tubing to the bags from the pump manifold so that reattachment after each deployment will be easier.
Note that each waste bag is enclosed in a plastic net that will support the weight of the liquid waste during a
deployment. The net material is an integral part of the waste bag assembly and should NOT be removed.
The waste bag assembly is attached via the metal clips to two hooks on the bottom of the carousel’s middle
plate. Each of the two waste bag assemblies should be attached to two different hooks for proper function.
Note also that a single waste line from the manifold connects to a “T” fitting which distributes the effluent
from the system between the bags as shown in the picture below. Because the flow path to one bag may be
slightly more facile than the other, it is not uncommon for effectively all of the waste to accumulate in a
single bag until it is full and then the waste stream shift to the other bag. Users should not be concerned by
this phenomenon.

2.8.1 REMOVING THE WASTE BAGS
To remove the waste bags, place the carousel on the floor or on a bench in a vertical orientation, supported
by its three legs. Then follow the step-by-step instructions below:
