Softener Preparation
3) Place a piece of duct tape over the riser tube of one of the tanks, so no gravel or carbon
enters the riser while filling. Both tanks are the same and it does not matter which tank is
used for the carbon and which tank is used for the softening resin. Gravel will be poured in
the carbon tank ONLY.
4) Use the Blue Funnel provided, to pour the gravel and carbon into the tank. Pour it evenly
around the hole to ensure it is well distributed in the tank and pour slow enough, to keep
from plugging the hole. The gravel should be poured in the tank first, then pour the carbon
in the tank second. Pour all the gravel and carbon that was shipped in the tank. A helper
may be needed to hold the funnel during the filling process. It is recommended that a dust
mask and safety goggles be worn to prevent possible injury.
5) Once the carbon tank has been loaded with gravel and carbon, remove the duct tape
and funnel and fill the tank with water (if possible/practical) and let it soak. This will de-
crease the rinse time needed to remove the carbon fines/dust during startup. If this cannot
be done, the rinse time may take longer but it does not affect the performance or operation.
Usually 1-2 hours of soak time is sufficient to reduce the rinse time during startup.
6) Now follow the same procedure for the softener resin tank. There is NO gravel in the
softening resin tank. Pour all the resin that was shipped in the softener tank. The softener
tank does not use gravel. Once all the softener resin has been poured in the tank, remove
the tape and funnel. This tank can be filled with water if possible but is not required. The
softening resin usually rinses quickly, but filling the tank with water will reduce the amount
of air that must be flushed prior to startup.
