SANITIZING THE FILTER
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water filter
clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the filter
will not infect or contaminate your water supply, and
will not cause bacteria to form or grow; however, dur-
ing shipping, storage, installing and operating,
bacteria could get into the filter. For this reason, sani-
tizing, as follows, is suggested when installing.
Pour about 1 oz. or 2 oz. of the following disinfectant
into the filter.
1. Calcium hypochlorite, available in granular or tablet
form, under trade names such as Perchloron or HTH.
2. Common 5.25% household bleach such as Clorox,
Linco, Bo Peep, White Sail, Eagle, etc.
SANITIZING WILL BE CONTINUED IN STEP 9,
PAGE 11, AND STEP II ON PAGE 12.

COPPER TUBES

b.
Slide copper tubes, with lubricated o--ring seals
in place, into the filter valve or bypass valve inlet and
outlet ports, Figure 5. Be sure the o--ring sealing
surface is clean.
NOTE:
Be sure the turbine and support are in place
in the valve outlet, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
