To replace PHIX Media, the procedure is similar to the maintenance (solids removal) procedure.
1. Remove the support bracket to create adequate space to remove the cartridge body.
2. Place a bucket (supplied with the PHIX Cartridge) under the cartridge. This will catch water that
may leak from the cartridge body when it is unthreaded from the manifold.
Before proceeding: Wear rubber gloves to protect the skin from liquid contact.
3. Unthread the cartridge body from the cartridge top manifold.
4. Drain the cartridge body of liquid in to the bucket for disposal.
5. Remove the top filter plate, the filter, and bottom filter plate from the cartridge body.
6. Turn the cartridge at an angle and dispose the spent PHIX media into a trash bin. No special
handling of used PHIX media is required.
7. Once the PHIX media is removed, pull the center column out.
8. With all the components removed from the cartridge body, rinse out the bottom of the cartridge to
remove any solids.
9. Clean the different components using water and a clean cloth.
10. Place the center column (with the media filter plate in place) back into the cartridge body.
11. A refill PHIX Media package is supplied free of charge with the PHIX Cartridge System. Pour the
refill package of PHIX Media into the cartridge body and re-insert the bottom filter plate, filter, and top
filter plate. 11a. If the refill is used and spent, replacement PHIX Media can be ordered through a Zurn
Sales Representative . Using the measuring cup provided with the pail of PHIX media, pour one full
cup of PHIX media into the cartridge up to the fill line.
12. Re-thread the cartridge body to the top manifold.
13. Place the support bracket directly underneath the cartridge and adjust to secure it back into place
such that it supports the PHIX Cartridge.
14. Run water through the PHIX Cartridge to ensure no leaks are present.
15. The PHIX Cartridge System is ready to resume operation.
