Solution
You may need to turn the head to tighten it. The tank
head is pre-installed hand-tight, do not overtighten the
head (just turn it snug).
If the tank is not level, lift the tank straight up 6 inches
and tap it on the ground until the tank stands vertical.
The bottom of the tank is round and the boot allows the
tank to stand upright.
It is recommended that the sediment filter be replaced
every 6-9 months depending on the amount of
sediment present in the water supply. If the system
has been working properly and the pressure is slowing,
it may be time to change the sediment filter. Check the
sediment filter and replace if necessary.
Water may appear grey or cloudy for the first seven to
ten days after installation due to extra carbon dust.
The check valve on the lower end of the pump is stuck
in the open position. Turn water off, relieve pressure,
remove the suction hose nut as well as the retaining
nut underneath. Remove the check valve by pulling
down. Rotate the white retainer cap to expose the
check valve. Clean o-ring, inner housing and Replace.
High flow rates such as bathtubs, utility sinks, hose
bibs, multi-headed showers, body sprayers, or
anything that is considered high flow for the first
72 hours should be avoided. If you suspect a carbon
blockage of the top basket due to a high-flow situation
within the first 72 hours of installation, turn off any
running water for at least 10 minutes. This will clear
the blockage and you can resume using water at low or
normal flow rates.
