3) Locate the tank head and
remove the shipping label.
6) Turn the tank head
clockwise until it is fully
tightened.
1) Unscrew the cap on top of
the carbon filter tank.
4) Align the opening on the
bottom of the tank head with
the pipe inside the tank.
7) Insert a blunt tool into one of
the connections on the head. A
screwdriver handle will work.
8) Use your feet around the
boot to add grip to the tank.
ONCE THE HEAD ATTACHES TO THE PIPE INSIDE THE TANK IT IS PERMANENT. Do not attempt
to unscrew or remove the head from the tank or it will cause the components within the tank
to separate causing damage and potentially cause resin to seep from the tank into your home
plumbing.
