Assembly and Installation Instructions
1. Wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or duct tape so that no gravel or Calcite will go
down the distributor tube when adding the media.
2. Add the filter gravel that came with your order. You will want the gravel to cover the bottom
distributor screen before adding the Calcite media.
3. If you received Corosex in your shipment (used with pH's below 6), you can now mix it together
with the Calcite before adding the blend into the tank. It does not have to be exact, but we
recommend mixing them together in a bucket, and adding into the tank until it is 2/3rds full, do
not fill past 2/3rds.
4. Next add the Calcite media or Calcite/Corosex blend. The tank will be about 2/3rds full of media.
Do not fill more than 2/3rds full, even if there is some left over. You can save that for when it is
time to refill the tank with more Calcite.
5. Remove cap or tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube
when removing cap or tape.
6. If possible at this point, fill the tank completely with water. This will allow the Neutralizer media
to settle and eliminate the need of "purging" the air out of the tank later.
7. Attach plastic top screen to the under‐side of the 5900e control valve. It is a funnel‐shaped
plastic screen that snaps on to the control valve and prevents resin from being backwashed out
to drain during the regeneration cycles. It may twist on clockwise or counter‐clockwise.
8. Add a small amount of silicone grease to the tank threads and screw on 5900e control valve
carefully. Do not use pipe‐joint compound, vegetable oil, Teflon tape, or Vaseline or other
petroleum greases to lubricate tank threads.
