NEUTRALIZING FILTER - CHECKING THE
MINERAL LEVEL IN THE TANK
As explained on Page 9, the mineral dissolves in the
water to neutralize the acid. How fast it dissolves
depends on how much water your household uses
and the pH of the water.
Every few months you should measure the mineral
bed level in the tank. Always add new mineral before
the tank is empty. To measure, do the following:
1. Referring to Page 17, initiate a "Recharge Now".
2. When water starts to run from the drain hose, put
the plumbing bypass valve(s) into bypass position
(See Figures 7 & 8 on page 6), TO DEPRESSUR-
IZE THE FILTER.
3. Unplug the power supply at the wall outlet.
4. Remove the controller cover.
5. Disconnect the bypass valve or copper tubes from
the inlet and outlet (See Page 7).
6. Remove retainer clips and clamp sections from the
tank neck and carefully lift the valve off the tank.
7. Remove the top distributor and four o-ring seals
(See Page 5).
8. Use a yard stick or steel tape measure to find the
distance down to the top of the mineral bed (See
Figure 92). If it is lower than the suggested free-
board, shown in the table below, add more neu-
tralite material.

TASTE & ODOR FILTER - REPLACING
THE ACTIVATED CARBON MINERAL BED
When the filter no longer removes tastes and/or odors
from the water (See Page 9), the activated carbon
bed must be replaced. To replace the bed:
1. Do Steps 1 through 7, at left.
2. Carefully lay the filter tank over. Pull the standpipe
and bottom distributor from the mineral bed.
3. Dump the contents of the tank into a suitable con-
tainer.
4. Stand the tank upright and put the bottom distribu-
tor and standpipe back in place.
5. Add the recommended amounts of gravel, filter
sand, and activated carbon mineral. See
"Specifications" on Page 3.
6. Do Steps 10 & 11, above.
