Pulsar Filter Installation Instructions 1. Install the Pulsar Magna system in the desired location in the water treatment system. Typi- cally this will be the first component in the line of treatment. The cap are marked “Cartridge INLET” (Bag Outlet) and “Cartridge OUTLET” (Bag INLET) on the top of the housing. We will be using the Cartridge inlet and outlet configuration.

Pulsar Filter Installation Instructions 3. Install the supplied 1 1/2” x 1” reducing nipples in the housing. Be sure to use Teflon tape on the fittings. Tighten them with channels locks. If flex pipes with rubber gaskets are used there is no need to Teflon tape the outer fittings. If a normal plumbing fitting is used then be sure to Teflon tape the outer fitting.

Pulsar Filter Installation Instructions 1. Remove the sump from the filter housing and install the filter. A very small amount of sili- cone grease or water can be used to lubricate the O-rings on the filter. The filter housing cap has a couple that will accept the o-ringed nipple on top of the filter. Install the filter so the nipple on the top is fully seated in the filter housing cap.

Bodyguard Tank Installation 1. Make sure that the distributor tube (shipped inside the tank) is centered in the indent in the bottom of the tank (use a flashlight if necessary). 2. The distributor tube should be even with the top of the tank. There is an o-ring inside the tank head that seals around the distributor.
Bodyguard Tank Installation The tank should now be filled approximately 70-80%. US Water does not send extra media. 8. Be sure to remove the tape and wipe the top of the tank and distributor tube with a clean cloth. 9. Fill the tank with water until it is approx. 4” from the top. Be sure to let the carbon soak for a mini- mum of 2 hrs.

Bodyguard Tank Installation 13. Assemble the tank connectors using the locking clip and the O-ring. 14. Make sure the O-ring isn’t twisted then lubricate it with silicone grease or corn oil. Hand tighten the nuts on the bypass. NOTE: It is normal for the bypass and connectors to move/float when the nuts are tightened. This is an intentional design feature intended to allow flexibility with the connections and possible tank deflection.

Bodyguard Tank Installation 1. Place the Pulsar Bodyguard tanks in the desired location on a flat level surface. 2. Make sure the tank head is tightened securely by hand tightening—Do Not Use a Wrench. Hand-tight is recommended. 3. Connect the inlet piping from the Magna filter to the DOWNFLOW inlet on the Pulsar Bodyguard carbon tank.
Pulsar Filter Startup Instructions 1. Put the Bodyguard filter in the bypass position (See Page 15). Open a faucet or spigot down stream of the Pulsar filter. Slowly open the water shutoff valve and all the filter fill and air to be pushed out of the filter through the open spigot or faucet. Once there is no air coming out of the faucet or spigot, place a bucket under the filter housing and push the red pressure relief button on top of the filter housing until only water and no air is coming out.

Pulsar Filter Cartridge Replacement Instructions 9. Install the filter sump in the filter cap by turning it clockwise until it is hand tight. NOTE: The housing should spin tight fairly easily. If not, add more lubrication to the sump threads. This will aid with removing the sump when the filter needs to be replaced again.
