1 Using supplied adapter, connect a garden hose to the inlet port so
the water will flow into the system and out of the outlet port.
2 Slowly turn faucet on and allow discolored water to flow from
outlet into a suitable drainage area. The first few gallons will
appear black and cloudy due to carbon fines.
3 After an initial 15-minute flushing, begin a period of “surge flushing”
by turning water supply on for 30 seconds and then off for 30 seconds,
repeating cycle for 15 minutes or until initial surge of water is completely
clear and free from discoloration and cloudiness.
4 Disconnect the system from the garden hose and position
it for final installation.
IMPORTANT Keep the unit in an upright
position at all times.
Remove red shipping caps
from the inlet and outlet
ports on the main housing.
1
Pre-condition the unit by surge flushing. It’s imperative that this system is flushed
properly prior to final installation. The granular carbon medium used in the bottom
tank contains 1-2% by volume of carbon fines that must be flushed out prior to use.
Surge flushing is the best method for purging these carbon fines from the media bed.

IMPORTANT
The inlet piping assembly must be firmly braced and supported.
Do not over-tighten fittings, as this may cause leakage and broken fittings. Do NOT use
pipe dope. The use of pipe dope voids the warranty. You may use NSF-certified pipe
primer, glue and plumber’s tape. Leave 2 or 3 threads exposed and do not exceed seven
layers of plumber’s tape. More than seven layers will cause the nipple to crack and leak.
Turn off the main water
source prior to installation.
3
Pick an appropriate installation
location. Unit must be installed
in an area where the main water
line enters your home, before
connecting to the water heater. DO
NOT install after the water heater or
on the hot water line. Components
and installation will vary.
4
Once installation is complete, slowly
turn water on and inspect for leaks.
5
Once the unit is installed and checked
for leaks, turn on the faucet closest
to the installed unit and allow water
to run for 5-10 minutes for the final
flushing period.
