IMPORTANT SANITIZING PROCEDURES
C
are is taken at the factory to keep your water filter
clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the fil-
ter will not infect or contaminate your water sup-
ply, and will not cause bacteria to form or grow.
However, during shipping, storage, installing and
operating, bacteria could get into the filter or
media. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is
suggested* when installing.
a. Pour about 1 ounce of the following disinfectant
into the valve inlet fitting:
= Calcium hypochlorite, available in granular
or tablet form, under trade names such as
Perchloron or HTH - OR -
= Common 5.25% household bleach (Clorox
or other brands).
b. Complete the sanitizing procedures in steps 7
and 10, below.
*NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended by the Water Quality
Association for disinfecting. On some water
supplies, they suggest periodic sanitizing.
