3.2 Solids Removal
• Remove the support bracket to create adequate space to remove the cartridge body. Place a
bucket (supplied with the PHIX Cartridge) under the cartridge (Figure 3.1). This will catch water that
may leak from the cartridge body when it is unthreaded from the manifold.
Before proceeding: Wear rubber gloves to protect the skin from liquid contact.
• Unthread the cartridge body from the cartridge top manifold (Figure 3.2).
• Remove the top filter plate, the filter, and bottom filter plate from the cartridge body (Figure 3.3).
• Turn the cartridge at an angle and dump the liquid and PHIX Media into the bucket (Figure 3.4).
• Once the liquid and PHIX media is removed, pull the center column out (Figure 3.5).
• With all the components removed from the body, rinse out the bottom of the cartridge to remove
any solids.
• Place the center column (with the media filter plate in place) back into the cartridge body.
• Pour the media back into the cartridge or if the media is spent replace the media with new PHIX
Media. Reattach the bottom filter plate, filter, and top filter plate.
• Re-thread the cartridge body to the manifold.
• Place the support bracket directly underneath the cartridge and adjust to secure it back into place
such that it supports the PHIX Cartridge.
• Run water through the PHIX Cartridge to ensure no leaks are present.
