replacing the desiccant material in the dryer. Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Place a suitable container at the edge of the drain port on the bottom of the tower that are located on the
bottom.

Open the drain port on the bottom of the tower and catch the activated carbon in the container.

manufacturer supplied activated carbon, which is high quality, high capacity activated carbon designed
and sized for the carbon tower.
