CWS Plus Sediment Filter Installation & Start-Up Guide 

Thank you for purchasing a Clean Water System!  With proper installation and a little 
routine maintenance your system will be providing neutral pH water for many years. 

Your new system comes with a printed CWS Service manual, which along with this start-up 
guide will help guide you in the installation and start-up of your new system.  The CWS 
service manual covers other types of systems as well such as water softeners and filters, so 
there may be information in your CWS service manual that does not pertain to your 
system.  Please review this start-up guide entirely before beginning to install your system 
and follow the steps outlined for best results. 

 

SEDIMENT MEDIA CONTAINS DUST. USE PAPER MASK AND VENTILATE TO AVOID 
BREATHING DUST.
