NEUTRALIZING FILTER -- CHECKING THE MIN-
ERAL LEVEL IN THE TANK:
As explained on page
14, the mineral dissolves in the water to neutralize
the acid. How fast is dissolves depends on how
much water you household uses and the pH of the
water.
Every few months you should measure the mineral
bed level in the tank. Always add new mineral before
the tank is empty. To measure, do the following.
1. Refer to page 12 and initiate the RECHARGE
NOW feature.
2. When water starts to run from the drain hose, put
the plumbing bypass valve(s) in bypass posi-
tion...see figure 7, page 9, TO DEPRESSURIZE
THE FILTER.
3. Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet.
4. Remove the controller cover.
5. Disconnect the inlet and outlet copper tubes...see
page 8.
6. Remove the valve assembly from the mineral
tank...page 5.
7. Remove the top distributor and four o--ring
seals...page 5.

TASTE AND ODOR FILTER -- REPLACING THE
ACTIVATED CARBON MINERAL BED (SEE PAGE

When the filter no longer removes tastes and/or
odors from the water, the activated carbon bed must
be replaced. To replace the bed:
1. Do steps 1 through 7, above left.
2. Carefully lay the filter tank over. Pull the standpipe
and bottom distributor from the mineral bed.
3. Dump the contents of the tank into a suitable con-
tainer.
4. Stand the tank upright and replace the bottom dis-
tributor and standpipe.
5. Add the required amounts of gravel, filter sand,
and activated carbon mineral...see specifications,
page 4.
6. Do steps 10 and 11, above.
