2.2—Fill tank partially with water Optional
This optional step will help buffer the resin as it is poured in and will also help
minimize air bubbles upon initial startup. Simply pour water into the tank until it is 1/4
- 1/3 filled with water.
2.3—Load resin and gravel— GRAVEL GOES IN FIRST
THE RESIN GOES IN THE POLYGLASS TANK, DO NOT LOAD THE RESIN IN BRINE TANK
Make sure to cover the opening of the riser tube .
Simply put something over the end of the tube such as a
piece of tape, to prevent anything from falling into the
riser tube.
IF YOU HAVE GRAVEL WITH YOUR SYSTEM IT WILL GO
IN FIRST! Make sure to empty all boxes to verify it is not
in the bottom of the tank box or in a box with the resin.
When filling the tank, do so slowly and ensure the riser
tube stays correctly positioned and centered in the tank.
If you have more than one bag of resin, after gravel the
order does not matter and all of it should be used . Once
all the resin is loaded the tank will not be completely full, this is normal.
2.4—Finish filling tank with water Optional
Once the resin is loaded you may finish filling the tank with water. This can help
reduce air bubbles and ease initial startup.
The riser tube sits in an indentation centered in the
bottom of the tank. With the riser tube properly
positioned, ensure that it is within 1/3 inch (8 mm) above
or below the lip of the tank. If it is not contact us for help
correcting the problem.
IF YOUR SYSTEM CAME LOADED - Skip down to the
section titled "Finish filling the tank with water".
IF YOUR SYSTEM WAS NOT LOADED OR PARTIALLY
LOADED - Continue to the next step.
