IMPORTANT NOTES

• Damage due to heat is not covered under the manufacturers warranty and will void the warranty.

• The use of ﬂ exible drain lines are prohibited in some states, check with your local code ofﬁ cer for requirements. Distance and height affects the perfor-

mance of the drain line to discharge at the proper rate to effectively backwash the ﬁ lter media. The following are guidelines for drain line size installa-

tion. Do not bend the drain line too sharply if using ﬂ exible tubing. Secure the drain line over the discharge line to prevent splashing or blow out during

regeneration. Do not use garden hose or vinyl tubing as a drain line as this may cause a failure to regenerate properly.

• You will need the serial number and model number of the unit to have certain parts replaced under warranty. Please preserve the shipping carton in case

the factory technical support services personnel request to verify your claim of missing or damaged parts.

• Activated Carbon requires four (4) hours of saturation and Filter Sand two (2) hours of saturation to prevent media from washing to the waste drain

prior to startup.

Step 1

Inspect and open factory sealed box to ensure all components required for installation are present. If media was ordered, verify the amount and type of

ﬁ lter media (ordered separately) is correct.

Step 2

Step 3

Follow the steps to center the distributor tube and load the ﬁ lter media into the media tank to ensure the successful installation of your CBF Series

Residential Backwash Filtration System.

a. Remove the latch and clamp assembly from around the control valve and media tank.

b. Remove the control valve from the media tank and set aside to reassemble after media is loaded into the tank.

c. Tilt media tank to a 45 degree angle until gravel shifts to the side of the tank and dimple at bottom of media tank is visible. This will allow you to place the

distributor tube basket assembly in the dimple on the bottom of the media tank.

d. Place media tank back in upright position and ensure gravel at the bottom of the media tank is level. Place red plastic cap on the distributor tube that is

provided in the parts bag.
