1.
Temporarily plug the open end at the top
of the riser (distribution) tubes with tape.
2.
Ensure the bottom of the riser tube remains
seated in the depression at the bottom of
the tank. Fill tank one-quarter full with
water to protect the distribution tube
during gravel installation.
3.
Fill the gravel support bed first.
A large funnel makes filling the
tank much easier. Order part #99003
separately for your own funnel.
Slowly add the gravel. Depending on
the type of system, add the resin, or
media next.

PREPARATIONS
MEDIA INSTALLATION (WHEN NECESSARY)
When
larger units cannot be loaded due to weight restrictions, media will be shipped
pre-measured in separate containers. Follow the steps below for proper media loading.
NOTE
If severe loss in water pressure is observed when the softener
unit is initially placed in service, the softener tank may have
been laid on its side during transit. If this occurs, backwash the
softener to ‘reclassify’ the media.
