chamber back onto the bottom chamber.
37- Place the basket back into the TOP Sub-Chamber, make sure the basket is properly seated within the
chamber.
38- Hold the TOP Sub-Chamber Acrylic body and screw the lid closed with the other hand. Ensure that the O-
Ring on the top of the body is seated properly. Inspect the threading both on the lid and its counterpart
on the body to be free of debris and/ or any media particles.
Caution: Debris or any particles present between the lid and the body or the threading can damage
the threads rendering the reactor unusable. Such damages are not covered under warranty.
39- Now the Secondary Chamber can be placed on its dedicated slot within the reactor's base. A dedicated
small rectangular slot has been milled into the reactor's base to house the Push to Connect fitting located
at the base of the Secondary Chamber. Diagram 1 exhibits how the Chamber must be placed on the base.
Diagram 1: Images in the right box display the correct assembly process of Secondary Media Chamber onto the
reactor's base. Do not force the chamber down unless the Fitting and its housing-slot are perfectly aligned. Image
in the left box displays improper alignment of Secondary Chamber and reactor base.
Push to Connect Fitting. This Fitting can break easily if the force applied is greater than the strength of the fitting's
stem. Such damages are not covered under warranty.
