Congratulations! You now have the most efficient and innovative wastewater neutralization system. The PHIX Cartridge System, manufactured by Zurn, is a point-source acidic wastewater treatment solution complying with local plumbing codes throughout North America. Your engineered system protects your building’s plumbing piping and the local sanitary sewer infrastructure from corrosive acids.
PHIX Cartridge Design The PHIX Cartridge System, designed for direct installation under the sink, treats acidic wastewater at the source. The PHIX Cartridge System is compatible with various sink sizes, and is easy to install in most commercial, institutional and industrial applications.

Add PHIX Media to the PHIX Cartridge System The PHIX Cartridge System is shipped with two packs of media for initial charge and a refill. To ensure that acidic wastewater is properly neutralized, the cartridge must be loaded with the initial charge of media before it is installed.
Connect the PHIX Cartridge System To connect the PHIX Cartridge System to the sink, slip the brass nut onto the tail piece and thread to the top of the cartridge (Figure 2.2). Use the provided plastic compression ring between the brass nut and the cartridge top to obtain a proper seal.
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.
Place the center column (with the media filter plate in place) back into the cartridge body. • Pour the media back into the cartridge or if the media is spent replace the media with new PHIX Media. Reattach the bottom filter plate, filter, and top filter plate.
