1. Position the tank in the desired installation location.
2. Remove the inlet strainer by turning it
counter-clockwise.
3. Position the outlet manifold in the tank.
4. Cover the top of the manifold with a clean rag to
prevent filter media from entering the manifold
during filling.
5. Using a large-mouth funnel, load the Culligan
Cullsan U underbedding through the top of the
tank. See Table 1 .
6. Load the G-50 media (only 35 lbs. of the 50 lb bag
is used). Leveling is required. See Table 1 .
7. Load the Birm media. See Table 1 .
8. Remove the funnel.
9. Using a hose, top off the tank with water to
bring the water level to within a few inches of
the top opening and add 2 ounces of 6% liquid
chlorine bleach to the tank for sanitization.
10. Install the inlet strainer making sure to thread
the strainer until it bottoms out on the tank
thread. Failure to install the strainer correctly
can cause the control to leak.
CAUTION!
Once the tank is full do not lay it down as
this will disrupt the filter media and result
in poor performance.
CAUTION!
DO NOT allow the outlet manifold to move when
loading the media. The manifold must remain
vertical to ensure a good seal at the o-ring. Rap
the tank near the bottom with a rubber mallet to
level the sand.
