PREPARATIONS

MEDIA INSTALLATION (WHEN NECESSARY) 

When

larger units cannot be loaded due to weight restrictions, media will be shipped  

pre-measured in separate containers. Follow the steps below for proper media loading.

a)

  Remove the valve from the mineral tank.  

Add bottom cone only in TO Models

b)

  Temporarily plug the open end of the riser 

tube to ensure that no resin or gravel falls 

down into the distribution. The riser  

(distributor) remains inside the tank seated in 

the depression at the bottom.

Plug tube with a tape.  Remove after media 

is loaded.

c)

    Fill support bed first.  

  The media will not always spill down inside  

  the tank and may need to be swept inside.

  The large funnel (sold separately makes filling  

  the tank easier and neater. (Or an empty 1  

  gallon or 4 liter container with the bottom cut  

  out makes a good funnel.)
