Highly Recommended:

Stainless steel corrugated water connectors, PEX or PVC Sch 40 have a
exible capability that may assist with issues where the rough and nish
measurements are slightly off or where pressure surges/spikes or back
pressure occur. This exible connection may prevent tank and valve issues
where rigid or hard pipe create problems over time. Perform all plumbing

according to state or local codes.

Freeboard: Space allows media space to lift during backwash.

Tank: Non-corrosive, seamless, one-piece blow molded with tough epoxy

and berglass outer laminate. Note: actual color of tank may vary.

Outer Cover: White plastic cover and the coordinating plastic dome are
strictly aesthetic and are non-functional parts of the Spectrum System.

Conditioning (EWS Series Only): ICN Riser Manifold contains two ICN

conditioners that catalytically suspend hardness minerals so they inhibit
adhesion to surfaces: Note: CWL Series does not contain this part.

Riser: Specialty PVC tubing food & beverage compliant for distribution of
ltered water ow up through the riser and out to the home or water down
through the riser to lift and properly backwash in order to self clean ltra-

tion media

Filtration: 2.5 cubic feet or 65 pounds of EWS proprietary high-grade

granular activated carbon.

Lower Riser Screen and Underbed: Maintains a closed system where

media does not escape into home plumbing during normal operation. The
underbed provides greater water distribution during ltration and backwash.

All measurements are approximates and system heights may have variances up to 1”.

Assembly Instructions - Chloramine Spectrum Systems Only

CHECKING THE PARTS LIST PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY

Below is a box count for each system and its’ contents.

EWS-CC-1465-7 and CWL-CC-1465-7 should have 6 boxes.

5

One Box - Tall containing the 14” x 65” Tank with a 1.05” (26.67mm) Riser ( ICN Riser Manifold - EWS Series only)
One Box (master carton) contains Valve, Valve Screen, Bypass Valve, Adaptors, Riser Cap, Funnel, Service Information Packet
One Box contains 50 lbs. underbed (pea gravel material specic to this system, ltration media and ow rate)
Three Boxes containing 1 cubic foot each of EWS’ proprietary Chloramine Reduction Media (CRM)

EWS-CC-1865-7 and CWL-CC-1865-7 should have 8 boxes.

One Box - Tall containing the 18” x 65” Tank with a 1.26” (32mm) Riser (ICN Riser Manifold - EWS Series only)
One Box (master carton) contains Valve, Valve Screen, Bypass Valve, Adaptors, Riser Cap, Funnel, Service Information Packet
One Box contains 50 lbs. underbed (pea gravel material specic to this system, ltration media and ow rate)
Five Boxes containing 1 cubic foot each of EWS’ proprietary Chloramine Reduction Media (CRM)

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE - ALL SPECTRUM CHLORAMINE SYSTEMS

1. From tall box remove Tank.
Caution: Riser (or ICN Riser Manifold - EWS Series only) is in the Tank. Do not remove and be careful not

to damage. Riser will be positioned upon the loading of the underbed and ltration media.

2. Move the Tank to (or near) the systems’ nal install location. The Tank will be getting heavy once lled.

3. From master carton remove Valve, Valve Screen, Bypass Valve, Adaptors, Riser Cap and Funnel.

4. Cap the top of the clean Riser to prevent lling with CRM ltration media. Use Riser Cap included or any heavy-duty tape.

5. Place or adjust capped Riser in the center of the tank.
Caution: Riser rests at the bottom and center of Tank. Do not press down and follow loading instructions.

6. Load the Tank, using supplied Funnel in the following order:

A: From one box with Underbed (a “pea gravel” for better water distribution) load all materials until box is empty.
Caution: Slowly ll and make small adjustments as needed to make sure Riser is straight up and down, and

centered in Tank.

B: Find 3 (1465 systems) or 5 (1865 systems) boxes with pre-measured CRM ltration media. This material is black and

granular. Empty all the contents of each box into the Tank.

Note: Top 1/3 of Tank should be empty. This is called freeboard for proper backwashing of the system.
Caution: Slowly ll and make small adjustments as needed to make sure Riser is straight up and down, and

centered in Tank.

Caution: Media is dusty. Do not inhale. Work in area with good ventilation and/or take preventative measures.

7. After Underbed and all CRM ltration media is loaded, remove the Riser Cap or tape from the top of the Riser.

8. Installation of the Valve onto the Tank:

A: Connect Valve Screen to the bottom of the Valve before connecting Valve to the Tank
B: Make sure the top of the Tank and Tank threads are clean of any debris or materials from Steps 1 through 6.
C: Center Riser where the Riser ts up into the center & bottom of the Valve. The Valve Screen at the bottom of the Valve

will help center and guide the Riser into the proper position. Back off the installation if resistence occurs and retry unitil
Riser ts into position without any issues.

Warning: DO NOT force Riser up into the center & bottom of the Valve. Riser should be straight and centered and

should t snugly into that position. A Riser that is forced to t, bent or off-center may fail under pressure.

D: Install the Valve onto the Tank by turning clockwise. Be careful not to cross-thread Valve onto Tank.

9. Thank you for properly lling and assembling the Tank, all its’ contents and connecting the Valve.

Please go to Page 7 and follow all instructions for the proper setup, installation and startup of all Spectrum Systems.
