6. Repeat the installation process, in-turn, for canisters 2, 3, 5, and 7.
Container 6 will contain the polyphosphate granules, see step 7.
NOTE: When a new Carbon or KDF filter is installed, it is strongly
recommended that the 1-micron filter (canister #7) not be installed until
the system is fully flushed as described in item 21 under "Replacing Filter
Cartridges" (page 10). This will prevent premature clogging of the filter.
NOTE: Canister 4
is for the UV lamp.
