Tank Sizes:
9" x 48" = 1 cu ft of Carbon
10" x 54" = 1.5 cu ft of Carbon
2" x 52" = 2.1 cu ft of Carbon
2. Carbon Tank media should last between 2- 6 years. Below is the procedure on replacing the carbon.
a. Follow steps a -c on page 12.
b. Fill the empty carbon tank with approximately 2 gallons of water.
c. Place the distributor tube into the tank and keep centered. Tape the end.
d. Pour in enough gravel to completely bury the collector screen.
e. Place the funnel into the tank (as shown), and slowly pour
the carbon into the softener tank. You will need to add a
specific amount of carbon to the tank which depends on
what size tank you have.
f. Be careful to keep the distributor tube centered as best you can, while filling. Once the filling
of the carbon tank is completed, carefully remove the tape or cap from the distributor tube.
Do not pull upwards on the distributor tube.
(If you do pull on the tube you will have to
reposition it by blowing compressed air in the hole and pushing it back down to position.)
g. The control valve head can now be screwed back onto the carbon tank. Be sure the large
O - ring is in place, and lubricated. As you start to screw the control valve onto the tank,
make sure the hole in the center of the control valve fits over the distributor tube. The
control valve should be tightened by hand in a clockwise direction until it is snug and tight
to eliminate a possible leaks.
h. BEFORE YOU TURN ON THE WATER TO THE CARBON TANK, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE
WATER SOFTENER’S “BYPASS” VALVE ON BYPASS MODE.
– Turn on the main water supply with the water softener on bypass.
– Open a cold water faucet in the house and let the water run through the carbon
tank for a few minutes or until the water runs clear.
NOTE: A carbon tank must have a gravel bed because the tank is set up as upflow. Upflow means
that the water passes through the distributor tube first, then through the gravel bed and finally
through the carbon. The gravel bed helps to disperse the water evenly through the carbon.
