Overview of Primary Product

IMPORTANT: SECTION 1: BEFORE INSTALLATION
Inspecting And Handling Your Filtration System:
Inspect the equipment for shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage inspection. Handle the system with
care. Damage can occur if dropped or set on sharp, uneven projections on the fl oor. Do not turn the system upside down.
We Recommend Testing Your Water Prior to Installation:
Visit www.aquapure.com for water testing information. An analysis of your water should be made prior to the selection of your water conditioning equip-
ment and fi lter media. Enter your water analysis results below for a permanent record.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Hydrogen sulfi de (H2S) must be tested for at the well site. For accuracy, the sample must be drawn with the pump RUNNING and the test be com-
pleted within ONE minute after the sample is drawn.

There are several different fi lter media which can be used in this fi lter. Each is designed to improve a particular aesthetic problem. None of them should
be used to make non-potable water safe to drink. The following descriptions indicate not only what the media is designed to do, but also points out their
limitations.
Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is generally used to reduce objectionable tastes and odors from water, chlorine being the most common. Activated carbon works pri-
marily on the concept of adsorption. Each particle of carbon has numerous pores through which the water passes. It is in these pores that the reduction
of unwanted contaminants occurs. During backwash, these “collected” contaminants are knocked off and fl ushed away to drain. Since the pores in the
carbon are very important, the presence of sediment in the water — which can plug these pores — will greatly shorten the run time and life span of
the carbon. The chlorine is reduced by a chemical reaction on the surface of the activated carbon, where the chlorine ions in the water are reduced to
chloride ions, lessening the taste and odor issues associated with chlorine in the water.
The useful life of activated carbon will vary greatly depending on the water contaminants and amount of water fi ltered per day.

• Professional Installation Required: Installation requires shutting water off to home, cutting home water supply pipe and
using a soldering torch to add piping and fittings. Specialized tools and skills are required. Not a do-it-yourself type of
project. Professional installation required!
