1. Once out of the box, keep the tank upright
at all times as to not apply pressure to divider.
Remove shipping caps from inlet and outlet
ports. 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.
TIP:
You may need to slightly shake
the tank to help remove 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,
be sure the white washers are properly set
inside the inlet and outlet ports, and position
the system for installation.
INSTALLATION STEPS
4
Pre-Condition Rhino Tank
Select Location
1. 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.
2. Turn off the main water source prior to installation. Drain water from
lines to relieve pressure by turning on a faucet inside your home.
NOTE: DO NOT install after the water heater or on the hot water line.
Components and installation will vary.
NOTE: It’s imperative that this system is flushed properly prior to final installation.
The granular carbon 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.
