1. Remove the tank head and make sure that the distributor tube (shipped inside
the tank) is centered in the indentation in the bottom of the tank (use a flash-
light if necessary). (Figure A).
2. The distributor tube should be even with the top of the tank. There is an o-ring
inside the tank head that seals around the distributor.
3. Cover the distributor tube opening with a cap or piece of tape. Duct tape
works exceptionally well for this.
NOTE: IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT NO MEDIA (carbon) BE ALLOWED INSIDE
THE DISTRIBUTOR TUBE. CARBON SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO EN-
TER THE DISTRIBUTOR UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES.
4. Add the gravel first and the carbon second.
5. Place the included funnel inside the tank opening securely. It is easiest
to do this if there are two people (one to hold the funnel and one to pour
the media), but one person can do it, especially if you secure the funnel
to the tank with duct tape, so as not to spill the media.
6. A mask and goggles should be worn over the nose, mouth and eye as the
carbon fines can cause irritation to the nose if breathed in. However, the
carbon is in no way toxic.
7. Pour all included gravel in the tank first followed by the all the carbon.
The tank should now be filled approximately 70-80%. US Water does not send extra media.
8. Be sure to remove the tape and wipe the top of the tank and distributor tube with a clean cloth.
9. Fill the tank with water until it is approx. 4” from the top. Be sure to let the carbon soak for a mini-
mum of 2 hrs. This will reduce the rinse time during startup. If this is not possible, the rinse time
may be lengthy.
10. Lubricate the O-rings on the head with food grade silicone lubricant*. (part #
995-1014081, not includ-
ed)
. If the upper basket is in place, it may have to be removed to lubricate the distributor O-ring.
Make sure that the upper basket (Figure B) is securely attached to the tank head after lubrication of
the distributor O-ring. [
*
If food grade silicone is not available, use corn or vegetable oil.]
11. Install the head back on the tank and tighten hand tight. The head should thread easily. If not, it
may be cross-threaded. Do not use tools to tighten the head or damage may occur.
****NEVER USE A PETROLEUM BASED LUBRICANT OR VASOLINE****
The upper basket appearance may vary.
