MEDIA SOAK Wall Wall Sediment Filter Outgoing Incoming Water to Water House Supply Bypass Mode Top View Alternative Carbon Soak/Rinse: Note: Steps 1-3 should be done prior to installation 1. Locate the carbon filter tank and the hose bib attachment. 2. Attach the hose bib attachment to “Inlet” side of the carbon filter. Attach garden hose to the hose bib and turn water slowly until water flows out of the outlet of the tank (a stream of water about the size of a pencil). Allow this water to flow out for 15 minutes. (Note the first few gallons of water could look black and cloudy due to the carbon fines, this is a normal occurrence). 3. After 15 minutes, turn water off for 1 minute. Then turn water on for fully for 1 minute, and then turn off and wait 1 minute. Continue this process until water comes out of the outlet clear. When complete, remove hose bib attachment. 4. Should you lose water pressure while completing step 3, turn water off, and allow the tank to settle with no water usage. Repeat step 3, but reduce how fast you flush the tank. Note: Should you need to perform the above steps after the tanks are connected to the home plumbing, it is recommended to use an outside garden hose spigot or faucet with an aerator to perform the rinsing procedure. -

4. Wax stainless steel tank jacket(s) with wax provided (or any other non-abrasive auto wax) a minimum of 1-2 times per year or as needed based on the installed environment. Clean your Hot Water Heater Cleaning and restoring the plumbing system is a major benefit of the NS3-P / NS6-P NaturSoft® system. In order to minimize the time required to complete the decaling process, we strongly recommend cleaning your hot water heater 3 weeks after installation of your water softener alternative system. -
Page 10: What To Expect With Your New Water Softener Alternative
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH YOUR NEW WATER SOFTENER ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM If you have never had a water softener: Immediately after the installation you will experience naturally soft water. Most detergents will work better with treated water and you will be able to reduce the amount you use. However, there are mineral deposits and hard water scale coating the inside of your pipes and fixtures. Over the first few weeks, this hard water scale will dissolve, detach itself from the pipes, and come out of your faucets. This de-scaling process is temporary and will steadily diminish. During these first weeks, you will notice: • Reduced softness of the water. This will be particularly evident when using hot water. The water can pick up more than ten grains of mineral content per gallon between the water softener alternative system and the faucet as it travels through the water heater and the plumbing. -
Page 11: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Sediment Filter It is recommended that the sediment filter be replaced every 6-9 months depending on the amount of sediment present in the water supply. If the system has been working properly and the pressure is slowing, it may be time to change the sediment filter. Check the sediment filter and replace if necessary. Sediment Filter Sediment Filter Cover O-Ring x2 Blue Filter Housing Stand Pipe Replacing the Sediment Filter 1. Turn off the main water supply to the sediment filter system and bypass all tanks. 2. Run a faucet (cold water) inside the house to relieve the pressure. Leave the faucet open. 3. Unscrew the blue filter housing clockwise using the supplied filter wrench. 4. Remove the existing sediment filter and discard. 5. Remove the o-rings and wipe the upper groove clean. Lubricate two new o-rings with a coating of clean silicone grease. Replace both o-rings. Be sure to press the upper o-rings down into the groove with two fingers. Note: This step is important to ensure the proper filter seal. Make sure the upper o-rings is seated level in the groove. If the o-ring appears damaged, stretched, or crimped it should be replaced. -
