Assembly and Installation Instructions
1.
By hand, unscrew the entire CWS Plus control valve from top of tank if it was shipped screwed
on. Place distributor tube in tank if not already inside. If not already done, make sure the blue
cap is on top of distributor tube, or wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or duct tape.
You do not want gravel or Sediment to go down the distributor tube.
2.
Add the filter gravel that came with your order. You want the gravel to cover the bottom
distributor screen before adding the Sediment media.
3.
Next add Sediment media. The tank will be about 2/3 full of media.
4.
Remove cap or tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube
when removing cap or tape.
5.
If possible at this point, fill tank completely with water. This will allow the Sediment Filter media
to settle and eliminate the need of “purging” the air out of the tank later.
6.
Add a small amount of silicone grease or vegetable cooking oil to the tank threads and screw on
CWS Plus control valve carefully. Do not use pipe-joint compound, Teflon tape, or Vaseline or
other petroleum greases to lubricate tank threads.
7.
See how the CWS Plus by-pass is connected in Fig. 5 on the next page. Note that Items 2 are
the pipe connectors and the other end is what gets attached to the control valve. Items 3 are
the red clips that hold the pipe connectors to the by-pass valve.
Your CWS Plus is usually
shipped in the by-pass position, as in Figure 4.
Plug or tape top of distributor tube
when adding media to prevent media
from entering. Remove when
finished.
