RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY — AR18
- 3.75 gallon (14.2 liter)
1) Position reser voir so that it sits open side down. Install black adhesive-
backed feet to bottom corners of reservoir. Turn reservoir so that it sits
open side up.
2) Decide if you wish to mount the sight gauge faucet on either the wide or
the narrow face of the reservoir. Install the sight gauge faucet by placing
one rubber washer onto the threaded end of the faucet and inserting the
faucet through the mounting hole in the reservoir. From inside the reservoir
securely tighten in place using the black plastic jam nut. Do not over-
tighten jam nuts. Inspect to make sure that the sight gauge is straight.
3) Install the reservoir plug by putting a rubber washer over the threaded
end of the plug and inserting it into the remaining hole in the reservoir.
From inside the reservoir, tighten into place using a black plastic jam nut.
Do not over-tighten jam nuts.
4) Install the prepared post carbon filter cup by following the instructions
on page 11.

PREPARE THE CARBON FILTER
To prepare the carbon filter, place it in boiling water for five minutes. Drain
excess water from filter. (See page 11.) The same cleaning process should
be used whenever a new replacement filter is installed. The boiling process
will remove any carbon dust that formed as a result of shipping. It will also
remove any air bubbles present in the carbon. Failure to complete this step
may result in water not flowing through the filter cup.
NOTE: The filter cup should be replaced every two months or
whenever an undesirable taste is detected in the distilled water
.
