Install Support Bracket
The installation of the support bracket ensures that the suspended PHIX Cartridge System is properly
supported. The bracket is supplied completely assembled.
1.
Place the bracket on the ground or cabinet floor directly below the bottom of the cartridge.
2.
Adjust the height of the bracket such that the bottom of the cartridge is sitting firmly on
the bracket.
3.
Center the bracket underneath the cartridge.
4.
Secure the bottom flange of the bracket with screw fasteners into the ground or cabinet
floor (Figure 2.4).

Initial Startup Procedure
Once the installation is complete, you must perform a flow test to verify there are no leaks.
Flow test: Run water from tap into sink, and visually inspect threaded connections.
1. If a leak is detected tighten the threaded connections until the leak has stopped.
2. Once the leak test is passed the PHIX Cartridge System is ready for operation.
3) Maintenance of the PHIX Cartridge
The maintenance of the PHIX Cartridge System is critical to prevent disruption in the neutralization treatment
process. The PHIX Cartridge System must be maintained according to the following procedures to ensure
continual effective treatment of acidic wastewater.
3.1 Maintenance Inspection
Over time, the bottom of the cartridge collects spent PHIX Media. When the drain down time of the
sink increases (i.e. the amount of time it takes to drain a sink is slower than usual), it indicates that the
PHIX Cartridge requires cleaning due to a high accumulation of solid waste at the bottom of
the cartridge.
