Regeneration Procedure

Regeneration Procedure

The TR Series cartridge will need to be regenerated prior to use, and whenever the colour 
in the water starts to return.  It is important to note that the level of tannins/organics 
and the volume of water consumed are two factors which will impact the regeneration 
frequency.  Puretec always recommend taking preventative measures including trimming back 

overhanging foliage, installing gutter mesh and devices to divert the first flush of rainwater 

away from the storage tank(s).

Please follow the procedure below to regenerate the cartridge:

• 

Turn off the water supply and release pressure by opening a downstream tap.

• 

Unscrew the housing bowl and remove the filter cartridge (if already installed) and allow 

the cartridge to drain completely.

• 

Empty the filter housing bowl and add 400 grams of salt to the bowl.

• 

Fill to 1⁄4 with warm water and stir to dissolve the salt.

• 

Add the filter cartridge to the filter housing bowl.

• 

Fill with cold water to the top of the housing bowl and allow to soak for 30 - 60 minutes.

• 

Empty the bowl and remove the cartridge letting it drain for 1 - 2 minutes before placing 
it back into the housing bowl and screw into the housing head.

• 

Flush the salty water out of the cartridge for 1-2 minutes, by turning the water supply on 

and opening the tap closest to the filter system.

• 

The cartridge is ready for use.

The TR Series cartridge is specifically for tannin/organics reduction only, it is not designed for 

sediment or taste/odour reduction, so is best used in conjunction with a two or three stage 

filtration system such as the HYBRID-G13. It is recommended to have sediment pre-filtration 
to avoid premature blocking of the TR Series cartridge, and carbon post-filtration to reduce 

taste & odour.  

Replace the cartridge annually, or sooner if significantly shortened capacity is observed.
