GreenWave Tank Installation Instructions 

1.  Place the GreenWave tanks in the desired location 

on a flat level surface. 

2.  Make sure that the tank head is tightened securely 

by hand tightening—Do Not Use a Wrench.  Hand-
tight is recommended. 

3. 

Connect the outlet of the 5 Micron sediment filter to 
the upflow inlet of the GreenWave tank.

NOTE: Put 

the GreenWave tank in the bypass position (see 
below).  The GreenWave tank operates in the 
UPFLOW mode which is opposite of most water 
softeners. Therefore, the inlet is labeled 

upflow 

inlet 

and the 

outlet 

is labeled 

downflow inlet

.  Be 

sure to plumb the outlet plumbing from the 5 Micron 
sediment filter to the “UPFLOW” inlet.

 

4. 

Connect the outlet (marked “DOWNFLOW” inlet) 
plumbing from the GreenWave tank to the inlet on 
the 1 micron sediment filter.

Position 

down-flow tank 

As shipped, the bypass is set-up for 
down-flow use. The arrow shape of 
the handles points in the wrong 
direction for UP-flow use. To convert 
it to UP-flow use, pull up on the red 
handles until they come off. Rotate 
the handle 180° and put it back on 
the valve stem.
