Load the Tank (12" and 14" Tanks)
1. Position the tank so that the Culligan
®
logo is in the front.
2. Remove the inlet strainer.
3. Install the outlet manifold into the tank (Figure 2).
4. Cover the tops of the manifolds with a clean rag.
5. Using a large-mouth funnel, load the Culligan underbedding
through the top of the tank.
CAUTION! DO NOT allow the outlet manifold
to move when loading the media.
The manifold must remain vertical
to ensure a good seal at the gasket.
Rap the tank near the bottom with a
rubber mallet to level the sand.
6. Load the tank with the Cullex
®
ion exchange resin. Leveling is not
required.
7. Remove the funnel.
8. Install the inlet strainer making sure to thread the strainer until it
bottoms out on the tank thread. Failure to install the strainer cor-
rectly can cause the control to leak.
