Preconditioning the Descaler prior to installation:
1. It is very important to properly flush the Descaler prior to installation.
2. Connect a garden hose to the inlet port of the Descaler (marked "In")
and slowly begin to fill the vessel with water.
3. Water will begin to flow from the outlet port of the Descaler, use a bucket
or drain to catch the water.
4. The first few gallons will be cloudy and black. Continue this process for
15 minutes.
5. After 15 minutes begin to "Surge Flush" the Descaler by turning the water
supply off for 30 seconds then on for 30 seconds and continue this for
15 more minutes or until the initial water surge is free of cloudiness and
discoloration.
6. Disconnect the garden hose, the Descaler is now ready for installation.
