7. Get a 6 foot
length of 3/4” sch. 40 PCV and a length of 1” polyvinyl hose. The length of
hose depends on the distance to the nearest floor drain. (Both of these can be acquired
at Home Depot or Lowes.)
8. Insert one end of the pipe inside the hose and put the other end of the pipe into the top
of the tank and down into the media. Put the other end of the hose inside a rice bag and
put the rice bag on the floor drain.
9. Get a garden hose and put it on the open end of the poly hose to fill the hose and pipe
with water. Air will bubble out of the tank. Once all the air is out of the hose and pipe, you
can start a siphon to remove the media. Put the garden hose in the top of the tank and
turn it on to keep the tank full of water. Push the pipe up and down in the media to get it
all out. The rice bag will catch the media and allow the water to go down the drain.
10. Try not to be too aggressive when extracting the media. You need to take it out in small
bites. If you let the whole pipe/ hose fill with media it will plug up. You need to let slugs of
water flush out the pipe as you go.

11. When all the old media is removed turn off the garden hose and continue to siphon until
the tank is about half full with water.
12. Using the step ladder again, reinstall the distributer tube with bottom strainer that was
removed in Step 6. Center the distributor tube in the bottom of the tank. Keeping any and
all media from entering the distributor tube, carefully pour-in a new bag(s) of media (see
AquaSolve media part number in section 4.2.).
13. Inspect the threaded connection on the top of the tank to ensure no loose beads of media
are stuck to the internal threads. If visible, wipe away the beads with a damp cloth.
14. Re-attach the head assembly onto the distributor tube and thread the head assembly back
onto the tank. Hand-tighten until the final turn when a strap wrench can help tighten the
connection.
15. Reconnect the flex connectors and union connections.
16. Open the feed water inlet (slowly) to fill the tank.
17. Purge the air at a downstream faucet close to the system.
18.
Once the tank is full, wait 4 hours for media to “hydrate”.
