Sediment Pre-Filter and Carbon Tank:
1. A 10-15% (or more) drop in pressure would indicate that the
Sediment Pre-Filter or Carbon needs replacement. To determine
which needs to be changed, follow this procedure:
- Note the pressure reading on the gauge.
- Remove the Sediment Pre-Filter out of the 10” housing and
screw the empty housing back on.
- Run water through the system to see if you get an increase in
pressure on the gauge.
* If you do get an increase in pressure when running this test, then
the sediment filter needs to be replaced.
* If the pressure stays the same, then you need to back wash the
carbon tank. (An optional manual back wash valve is available for
the carbon tank).
* If the carbon tank plugs prematurely and you do not have a
manual backwash valve, please contact us for further instructions.
2. Monitor the Carbon tank for chlorine removal by using a chlorine
test kit (TK-CL-5-KIT). If there is any presence of chlorine after the
carbon tank, change the carbon.
Using the Pressure Gauge
The pressure gauge is used to monitor the condition of the pre-filters.
When the pre-filters are new, the gauge will indicate the actual available
water pressure. As the filter collects particulates, the pressure will begin
to drop.
