5. TANK FILLING AND WATER TREATMENT

•  Remove yellow plug only for filling.  Fill with 

adjuster handle at level 16 only.  

•  Once filling is complete, use a coin or large 

blade screwdriver to tighten tank plug into 
place.

1.  Filling requires a large bucket (not supplied) and the Fluid Rower Siphon (included).  Filling will take approximately 

7.6 liters of water.

2.  Unscrew the right tank plug on tank back and insert the flexible tube into the rear of the tank while keeping the rig-

id hose in the bucket. Note: The siphon tube may be impeded by one of the impeller blades. Use the siphon only 
to push the impeller down slightly.

Note: Where water quality is known to be poor, Life Fitness recommends the use of distilled water. 

3.  Move the adjuster handle to level 16, and begin filling. Note: The siphon valve must be closed to allow siphoning 

action to occur. Tip: Placing the bucket in an elevated position will allow the siphon to continually pump water into 
the tank. Do not fill past the calibration mark indicated on the tank!

Note: Opening the siphon valve will stop the pumping action. Use this feature to avoid water spillage when 

nearing filling completion. 

4.  Once filling is complete (to the proper calibration level as indicated on the tank), follow water treatment schedule 

as shown.

Note: The lower tank plug is permanently sealed.

WATER TREATMENT PROCEDURE:

1.  Add one Water Treatment Tablet per full tank.

Note: The amount of water treatment can vary widely depending on the Rower’s location and exposure to sunlight. 
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE OTHER TREATMENT TABLETS OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED WITH 
YOUR ROWER. Your rower box contents include 4x Water Treatment Tablets, which is sufficient for several years 
of water treatment. Treat when water becomes discolored or shows signs of Algae/Bacterial growth. To purchase 
additional Water Treatment Tablets, please consult your nearest regional dealer/distributor or check our website at 
www.lifefitness.com 

CAUTION: Use a drop cloth under the tank when filling to avoid staining floor or carpet.  

WARNING: Do not insert fingers into tank!
