INSTALLATION STEPS
IMPORTANT SANITIZING PROCEDURES
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water filter clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the filter will not infect
or contaminate your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to grow. However, during shipping, storage, installing
and operating, bacteria could get into the filter. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested* when installing.
a.
Pour about 1 oz. or 2 oz. of the following disinfectant into the valve
inlet
fitting.
D
Calcium hypochlorite, available in granular or tablet form, under trade names such as Perchloron or HTH
--- OR ---
D
Common 5.25% household bleach (Clorox, Linco, Bo Peep, White Sail, Eagle, etc. brands)
b.
Sanitizing will be continued when you complete step 9 on page 9.
*
Sanitizing is recommended by the Water Quality Association for disinfecting. On some water supplies, they suggest
periodic sanitizing.
