Rinsing and Replacing the Carbon
Element
1. Turn off the water to the system by
closing the Inlet Ball Valve and Outlet
Ball Valve.
2. Open the Rinse Ball Valve and allow
the system to drain to ensure the
permeate tank is empty.
3. Press and hold the RED Pressure Re-
lief Button on the top of each of the
Carbon Element Housing to lower
the water level inside the housings
by 2 to 3 inches.
4. Remove the Carbon Element Hous-
ing (Figure 9).
5. Empty any water into a drain and dis-
card the old Carbon Element.
6. Inspect the O-ring on the Carbon
Element Housing (Figure 9). Replace
the O-ring if it is cracked, twisted, or
missing.
7. Lubricate the O-ring with an ap-
proved food grade
lubricant and install into the Carbon
Element Housing.
8. Install the new Carbon Elements into
the Carbon Element Housing.
NOTE:
Make sure the Gasket remains in
place in the recessed grooves on
both ends of the Carbon Element.
9. Screw the Carbon Element Housing
(containing the Carbon Element) into
place on the Carbon Element Head.
The Housing will come to a hard stop
at the end of the thread. Use a Filter
Wrench if necessary.
NOTE:
Do NOT overtighten the Carbon
Element Housing.
10. Direct water from the Rinse Ball Valve
to a drain.
NOTE:
Direct the Rinse Ball Valve to a
drain. Do NOT use the water re-
sulting from the flush procedure.
11. Open the Rinse Ball Valve. Turn on
the water to the system by slowly
opening the Inlet Ball Valve. Allow
water to flow through the Carbon
Element and Housing. This clears out
trapped air and any carbon fines.
12. To help remove trapped air from the
Carbon Element Housing, press the
RED Pressure Relief button on the
top of the Housing until water just
begins to come out.
13. Rinse the Carbon Element for at least
5 minutes.
NOTE:
Do NOT consume the water used
for rinsing the Carbon Element.
14. When the rinsing is complete, close
the Rinse Ball Valve and open the
Outlet Ball Valve.
15. The system is now ready for use.
