Attaching AR1 Air Release Valve
1) Relieve pressure by staging fi lter into backwash position.
2) Remove fi ll port cap, Figure 7.
3) Attache the AR1 Air Release Valve to the fi llport cap, shipped
with the air release valve, using an 1/8” 45° elbow. Air Release
should be installed vertically.
4) Replace Air Release-Cap Assembly.
5) It is recommended that a length of 1/4” poly tubing be run from
the top of the air release to a suitable drain. This is done so any

3) Add the required amount of replenishment media.
4) Fill the mineral tank to the top with water, as required.
5) Replace fi llport cap.
6) Return fi lter to service and backwash unit to mix new material with
the old and remove any fi nes.
