First fill in 31 of water (by portions) up to the top of the cartridge through the threading spout.
Then wrap the neck with polyethylene film and fasten with a rubber band or twine. Put the
cartridge bottom up and unscrew the bottom cover using a proper wrench. Keeping in this
position put cartridge into a sink vertically and fill with 31 of water more as described above.
Unwrap and put the bottom cover back to its place. Assemble the filter in reverse order. Open
the faucet and wash the filter through with water for 3 minutes at the rate of 1-1.5 1/min.
Iron salts removal (performed following the mechanical purification)
In enamelled or glass ware prepare 3 litres of hot 3 % citric acid solution (30g or 2
tablespoonful for 1 litre of water).
Put the filter element into a sink or suitable reservoir on a support and pour prepared solution
through, filling it inside the filter-cartridge through a threading neck by portions up to the very top,
until the solution coming out of it does not become clean and transparent.
Prepare 0,61 of 2% baking soda solution (1 teaspoon of soda for 0,61).
Put the cartridge into the housing and pour soda solution inside. Solution should be filled
through the threading neck of the cartridge until the whole cartridge and the housing will be filled
with solution (See Figure 3b).
In an hour pour out the solution, assemble the filter in the reverse order and wash it through
for 5 minutes.
Inserts and mineralizer replacement
When the resource of carbon or softener inserts and mineralizer is exhausted, the following
steps should be taken:
- turn off the filter housing, screw out the cartridge and its cap, take out the mineralizer (if
there is any), and push out the insert as described above;
- screw back the cap, lower new mineralizer (open side up), having removed a cover from it.
Then lower new carbon or softener insert, grooves down.
- assemble the filter in reverse order, then wash it until traces of carbon or other dust in water
disappear.
Regeneration of softening insert (removal of hardness salts)
- turn off the filter housing, turn out the cartridge and its cap, take out the mineralizer;
- prepare 3 litres of 10% common non-iodized salt solution: stir up one glass of salt (without
any additives and admixtures) in three-litre jar of water;
- put the cartridge vertically inside the suitable reservoir and pour prepared salt solution by
portions inside the softening insert;
- install the mineralizer back, screw in the cap, assemble the filter, connect it to the faucet and
wash it until salty taste of water disappears (approximately for 1-2 min.).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, STORAGE AND SHIPPING
To avoid cracking of Aragon cartridge, it should be always kept in wet state.
When there are any interruptions in the filter usage of more than 1 month, be sure that water
remains in the filter housing.
If the housing was once disassembled, to provide smoother tightening of the housing at next
assembling, apply some vaseline to the rubber o-ring.
Protect filter and cartridges from damaging, falling and water freezing inside the housing and
cartridges.
Shipment is allowed by any transportation mode (except for unheated aircraft sections), in
accordance with the shipping rules applicable for a particular transportation mode.
The filter must be stored packed, at a distance of at least lm from the heating appliances, at
a temperature of no lower than 1°C. Keep away from direct sunlight. No freezing or drying is
allowed. Do not expose to aerosols, corrosive and odorous liquids.
