may vary from 6 months in direct sunlight to 2 years in an artificially lit environment. Generally we suggest adding one purification tablet every six months. If water discoloration occurs, add a purification tablet immediately. If the water does not clear, we recommend emptying the tank, flushing it out with clean water, refilling and adding a purification tablet. NEVER USE POOL CHLORINE OR CHLORINE BLEACH in the tank as this will irreparably damage the polycarbonate tank.

The accumulation of lactic acid limits the contribution of the anaerobic process to total energy production. Though energy may be generated rapidly, total work capacity and total output is limited. The level of intensity at which lactic acid begins to accumulate can be altered by training. This is best done by improving the efficiency of the aerobic process and is achieved by training at moderate levels of intensity.
STEP 1 Lay the rails on the floor and connect the rear spacer using the female JCN nuts and the Allen key provided. STEP 3 Place the tank assembly between the rails. The black extrusions are positioned on the inside. Rear Spacer Female JCN STEP 2 Allen Key Place the seat assembly between the rails with the indent facing towards the rear spacer.
