TROUBLESHOOTING
SYSTEM DOES NOT RUN:
1. CHECK POSITION OF POWER SWITCH ON ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL
2. VERIFY POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE MATCHES SWITCH SETTING
3. FOR AC POWER (120 VAC/230 VAC) CYCLE THE GFI SWITCH (PRESS “TEST” BUTTON
THEN “RESET” BUTTON)
4. DISCONNECT POWER AND CHECK ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS (INCLUDING THAT
BETWEEN POWER SUPPLY CONTROL BOX AND PUMP)
5. IF PUMP IS HOT FROM PREVIOUS USAGE, ALLOW TO COOL (PUMP’S THERMAL
PROTECTION SWITCH WILL DISABLE POWER TO PREVENT DAMAGE)
SYSTEM DOES NOT PRIME (NO SUCTION):
1. CHECK HEIGHT OF PUMP ABOVE WATER SOURCE. IF HEIGHT IS MORE THAN 14’
(4.3M) PUMP MUST BE MANUALLY PRIMED
2. CONFIRM INLET HOSE, OUTLET HOSE AND BOTH WATER INTAKES ARE FREE FROM
OBSTRUCTION
3. CHECK ALL HOSE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PUMP AND WATER SOURCE FOR LEAKS
(APPLY PETROL-GEL TO O-RINGS IF NECESSARY)
4. CONFIRM PUMP INLET STRAINER IS CLEAR OF DEBRIS (SEE Figure 6)
5. WITH THE PUMP TURNED ON, PRESS AND HOLD THE AIR PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
ON THE FIRST STAGE I FILTER HOUSING UNTIL THE PUMP IS PRIMED (SEE Figure 7)
SYSTEM PRODUCES WEAK FLOW (< 0.50 GPM):
1. VERIFY (VIA PRESSURE DROP) THAT THE FILTERS HAVE NOT REACHED THEIR
USEFUL LIFE
2. CHECK ALL PLUMBING CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS (APPLY PETROL-GEL TO O-RINGS
IF NECESSARY)
3. CONFIRM INLET HOSE, OUTLET HOSE AND WATER INTAKE ARE FREE FROM
OBSTRUCTION
4. CONFIRM THE STAGE I AND STAGE II FILTER HOUSINGS HAVE BEEN PURGED OF
TRAPPED AIR
5. CONFIRM PUMP INLET STRAINER IS CLEAR OF DEBRIS (SEE Figure 6)
6. USE CAUTION TO VERIFY PUMP IS NOT OVERHEATING, IF SO ALLOW PUMP TO
COOL

I. Scope
The CB Tech WaterBox™ is designed to remove bacteria, viruses, cysts and other
contaminants from natural water sources such as surface waters (lakes, rivers, etc.)
and groundwater. This manual describes how to install filter cartridges, start the
system, monitor and maintain the system and how to shut it down. It is important that
the user is familiar with the entire contents of this manual to ensure that the CB Tech
WaterBox™ is operated safely and properly.
II. Principle of Operation
The CB Tech WaterBox™ filtration system creates clean drinking water exceeding
potable water standards. The CB Tech Nanomesh™ filters employ a combination of
adsorption and size exclusion to remove microbial pathogens and reduce chemical
contaminants from the input water stream. Water is cleaned as it passes through the
filters; no chemicals, UV light, or heat are necessary.
The CB Tech WaterBox™ has been tested by NSF International and received a letter of
compliance from the United States Public Health Command certifying it has met the
straight requirements of protocol 248. The CB Tech Waterbox removes over 99.9999%
of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses, and 99.9% of cysts. Additionally, the CB Tech
Nanomesh™ filter media used in the CB Tech WaterBox™ has been shown to remove or
reduce a variety of other biological and chemical contaminants (see Appendix A).
The CB Tech Nanomesh™ Stage I filters are specifically designed for removing organic
compounds and suspended solids from source water. When properly monitored and
maintained, they protect the CB Tech Nanomesh™ Stage II filter and extend its
operational life.
