It will take about 3 hours to fill the Tank, depending on local water pressure and temperature. You will
see black carbon fines for awhile during the initial flushing of the final filter after a filter change. This is

Sanitizing the Mineral Mizer
Because the DI water produced by the Mineral Mizer is intended to be boiled, the bacterial content of this
water isn’t normally a concern. If, however, there is evidence that bacterial contamination is becoming a
problem with your Mineral Mizer, following this procedure to perform a complete sanitization cycle.
Materials required
•
Mild soap solution - Soap used should be as basic as possible and not contain any fragrances or additives.

•
Before beginning installation and/or sanitization procedure, make sure that all tools used are disinfected.
