1.
Remove rubber dust plugs from inlet and outlet fittings by pulling them straight out.
2.
Begin by hooking the female hose adapter to your outdoor spigot or garden hose.
3.
Next, take one of the 5ft. lengths of the tubing and push one end into the hose adapter and
the other end into the “feed” fitting of the filter unit on the right side of the
TALLBoy
.
4.
Next, take the other 5ft. length of tubing and insert that into the “outlet” fitting of the
TALLBoy
.
5.
Before using your
TALLBoy
filter you will need to flush out any carbon fines or particles for 5
minutes with the water going to drain.
6.
Now you can hook up your garden hose to the male garden hose connector and push the
outlet tubing into the quick connect on the other end of this connector.
Precautions:
•
When first installing the unit and turning the feed water on, do so slowly to allow both filter
housings to fill with water completely. When you see filtered water flowing from the outlet tubing
you can then turn the feed water on all the way.
Discard the first five minute of product water to
flush any carbon fines or particles before using.
•
When replacing filter cartridges, use filter wrench to remove housing.
Do not use the wrench to
tighten. Hand tighten the housings only. Make sure not to over-tighten.
•
Do not install where leakage or failure may cause damage to your personal property.
•
Protect unit against freezing to prevent cracking of the filter housing and water leakage.
•
Do not install unit where incoming pressure may be more than 125 psi or there are excessive
water hammer problems. Use HydroLogic’s
3/8” Pressure Regulator (
HL#10071)
available at
your dealer.
•
Keep out of direct sunlight or high intensity lights. This will degrade the housing and fittings over
time. It’s best to keep the unit in complete shade or place a cover over it for protection. This will
keep the unit in better condition for longer.
•
Do not drop or place heavy objects on top of unit.
