10.4 Filter Keeps Floating
Lay the filter on its side in a container and fully cover and soak the filter
in cold clean water for 30 minutes to expel all the air inside fully.
Should the filter continue to float, it could be that the rubber seal has
twisted. To fix, roll the seal over one quarter turn, push up under the lip
and try the fitment again.
10.5 Black Dust Washing Out of Filter
You may notice a fine black dust come out of the filter when soaking and
when using for the first time.
This will happen on all new filters and when water is filtered through it the
first couple of uses.
This is no cause for alarm. It is just the dust from the activated carbon
inside the filter.
Although it looks unsightly, will not harm you.
It is recommended that after the filter has finished soaking, been rinsed
and then fitted to the chiller unit, fill the chiller tank and operate the taps
to allow all the water to flush through and to remove any remaining black
dust.
Repeat a second time.
The discarded water can be used on your plants without harm.
