Connect the
IN pipe to the Up-Flow Inlet
(on the right side when facing the pipe connectors), and
then connect the
Out pipe to the Downflow Inlet
(diagram below).

With the system on bypass, and the valve after the filter closed, open the hose bib tap after the
carbon filter and allow water to run for a couple of minutes to flush out any materials used in the
piping.
8.
Now take the Carbon filter off bypass. With the valve after the filter closed, allow the up-flow carbon
to flush for 10 to 20 minutes through the hose bib. This is necessary to flush out carbon fines and
dust. The water will be discolored to be black in color at first.
Maintenance
Make sure to occasionally monitor the chlorine residual after the carbon filter, there should be very little to
no chlorine coming out of the carbon filter.
After 1 to 3 years (depending on usage), or when you start to detect a chlorine residual in the water after the
carbon filter, replace the carbon media with new carbon.
