This system does not kill or remove bacteria or any other pathogenic microorganisms. To continuously disinfect all the water in your house, we recommend that you install a Rainfresh UV system. Call Rainfresh for details. For use on cold water only.
Use only lead-free solder and flux. DO NOT over-tighten metal fittings on to unit connections. You will need POT-PERM (Potassium Permanganate) with this unit (included with model CGFE948). NOTE: After the first 3 or 4 days of use, this unit will not work without POT-PERM in the chemical tank.
Unpack the unit and place it at the location where you intend to install it. Stand back and look at the filter to make sure it is standing straight up and not tilted to one side. Sometimes during shipment, the bottom of the tank will get knocked out of alignment and you will need to straighten it out before starting installation.
Water Fig 3 Fig 4 Plumbing in your CGFE Greensand Filter Turn the power off to the well pump then shut off the main water shut off valve which should be located after the pressure tank. If your hot water tank is electric, turn off the power to it to avoid damage to the element in the tank. Open a faucet closest to the pressure tank, but after the main shut-off valve to de-pressurize the lines.
