3. Setting up the tank:
A. Fill the tank up to 30% full of water.
B. Check the system specifications on page 2 to determine the correct amount of gravel and
resin needed for your system.
C. Position the distributor tube so it is in the center of the tank,
shown in Figure 8.
D. SLOWLY , pour the correct amount of support gravel into the tank without getting any gravel
into the distributer tube.
a. CAUTION: The distributor system is made of PVC
and will break if the gravel is poured in too quickly.
E. Visually confirm that the gravel is level and covering
the distributor basket and radials, if it is not, contact
Diamond H2O Conditioning.
F. SLOWLY , pour the correct amount of resin into the
tank. Again, try to keep the media level by carefully
rocking the tank back and forth.
G. Fill the rest of the tank with water to prevent air from
getting in the tanks and potentially losing media.
H. Verify that there is a large O-ring on the control
valve(s) adapter base.
I. Place the control valve on the tank, making sure that
the distributor tube fits into the bottom of the control
valve.
J. Tighten the control valve onto the tank to the point that it is
snug. The finished tank is shown in Figure 11.
Double check that the valve is in a correct position to
be able to install the plumbing.
