Carbon Soak/Rinse:
Note: Steps 1-3 should be done prior to installation
1. Locate the carbon filter tank and the hose bib attachment.
2. Attach the hose bib attachment to “Inlet” side of the carbon filter. Attach garden hose to the hose bib and turn water slowly until
water flows out of the outlet of the tank (a stream of water about the size of a pencil). Allow this water to flow out for 15 minutes.
(Note the first few gallons of water could look black and cloudy due to the carbon fines, this is a normal occurrence).
3. After 15 minutes, turn water off for 1 minute. Then turn water on for fully for 1 minute, and then turn off and wait 1 minute.
Continue this process until water comes out of the outlet clear. When complete, remove hose bib attachment.
4. Should you lose water pressure while completing step 3, turn water off, and allow the tank to settle with no water usage.
Repeat step 3, but reduce how fast you flush the tank.
Note: Should you need to perform the above steps after the tanks are connected to the home plumbing, it is recommended
to use an outside garden hose spigot or faucet with an aerator to perform the rinsing procedure.
Warning: For 72 hours after installation, try not to use a high demand of water (multiple fixtures at one time). This can cause
the media to float and could restrict water pressure. Should this happen, stop using the water and allow the tank to sit
undisturbed (no water flow) for 15 minutes. Then resume a lower water usage.
