CARE OF YOUR SYSTEM
To retain the attractive appearance of your new water filter, clean occasionally with mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
ammonia or solvents. Never subject your filter to freezing or to temperatures above 100°F.
REPLACING THE MEDIA BED
CARBON NRV FILTER  under normal operating conditions the effective life of the filter media is approximately one to three years,
depending on the water quality, after which, taste and odor problems may return. When this happens, contact your dealer for a
replacement media bed.
Check to ensure all media parts are received.
The first step in replacing the media bed is to shut off the water supply to the filter. At this point, you must disconnect the plumbing from
the inlet and outlet. Then unscrew the head from the fibreglass tank. Once this has been done, remove the distributor tube. Then you
can remove the filter media and two types of gravel from the tank. The quickest way to do this is by simply tipping the tank upside down
into a large drum or pail.
LOADING THE MEDIA PAK
Place the distributor tube back down the center of the tank. NOTE: the top of this tube should be plugged with a rag or cork to prevent
media from entering. Pour the bag of coarse gravel into the tank, and then pour the bag of fine gravel into the tank.
It is important that the distributor tube is not moved or pulled out as it is not possible to put it down to the bottom of the tank once
gravel or media are in the tank.

inside the tank and may need to be
swept inside.
The large funnel (sold separately makes
filling the tank easier and neater. (Or
an empty 1 gallon or 4 liter
container with the bottom cut out
makes a good funnel.)
