HOW TO USE

General

• The system should be installed on the mainline of the household to filter all the water going into the house.
• The source water will flow down from the top of the vessel and has to flow to the bottom before it goes back up and into the household.

Setup and installation:

• Put the vessel in the spot where you want to install before you add the medium to prevent the vessel from being too heavy to move.
• Ensure riser pipe is in the vessel and resting on the bottom.
• Before adding the medium cover the riser pipe opening with tape so that the medium does not enter the pipe.
• Pour the medium inside the vessel. You can use a funnel. Fill the vessel up to about 75%. This is done to leave space for the backwash.
• Ensure that the seal is correctly in place on the valve head before connecting the valve head.
• Connect the top strainer to the valve head. This is very important to ensure that your medium does not get flushed out with the backwash operation. Align the indents of the top strainer with the ledges on the valve and then turn the strainer to lock it into place.
• Remove the tape that you placed on the riser pipe.
• Slide the top strainer attached to the valve over the riser pipe and press down to connect the valve.
• Screw on tight after it has clicked in place.
• Finally, connect your source water, drain water and outlet to the valve in the marked locations.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

• When not in use store in a dry place and keep clear of dust and dirt.
• Remove medium before storing it.

• The vessel must be flushed regularly every two to five days depending on the water quality.
• The system is generally low maintenance.

DISCLAIMERS

Mega chars are intended for household use and limits apply to water quality and quantity. Have your water tested before installing a mega char to ensure that it is the right solution.
