After installation it is important to confirm that the pressure regulator on the inlet to the charcoal filter is set properly.
Lead the outlet hose from the charcoal filter to a bucket of a known volume.
Open the gray flush valve to allow water to pass through the filter.
Using a stopwatch, time how long it takes to fill the bucket.
The regulator should be set so that it allows 1.5 gpm (5.7 lpm) through. Adjust the regulator by
tightening or loosening the flathead screw on the regulator.
Follow the instructions in the system User Manual for proper operation once the flow rate has
been set properly.
