Setting Up Your System - Aquathin MEGACHAR BFF-1 Getting Started

This manual provides information about the application and
servicing of your Aquathin water filtration system. Descriptions
of the components and their functions will help to answer fre-
quently asked questions. By thoroughly reading this manual you
will be better able to operate your new system and perform
simple maintenance.

SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM

Your Aquathin system requires adequate water pressure; a
minimum of 25 PSI (pounds per square inch) of water pressure
is required for the backwash valve to operate effectively. The
amount of filtered water produced depends primarily on your
water pressure, flow, and the amount of chlorine, chloramines
and other organics.
As the MEGACHAR water filtration system will be installed on
existing plumbing sources, it is important to ensure that the
condition of the existing plumbing is free from lime and iron
buildup. Replace piping that has heavy lime and/or iron
buildup. If piping is clogged with iron, install a separate iron
filter unit ahead of the filtration system.
The Aquathin MEGACHAR system requires an uninterrupted
alternating current (A/C) supply. Please make sure that the volt-
age supply is compatible with the unit before installation.
(110V/60Hz or 220V/50Hz for international)
