7) NOTE: The canister has a thin O-Ring seal located at the top of the
canister housing that seals the canister housing to the canister top. This
must be in place within the associated groove to prevent leaks. TIP: it
is often helpful to apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to prevent
the seal from sticking or becoming dislodged during installation/removal.
It is recommended to replace seals annually or, as needed to prevent
leaks. Replacement O-Ring Seals can be purchased at www.clear20.com.
8) Remove wrapping and insert Filter (usually a PREFILTER or CARBON
Filter) into canister insuring that top and bottom filter gaskets remain
securely in place during installation. Guide Canister/Filter on to Canister
top and turn clockwise to tighten. It is recommended to hand tighten
securely. If leaks are noticed, further tighten until leaks stop. If leak
continues, remove and re-install insuring that filter, O-ring, and gaskets
remain in proper position. Canister should screw on easily, do not cross
thread. If difficult to turn, remove and re-install.
9) Check entire system to insure all connections are secure. You are now
ready to turn on water slowly to allow water to fill canisters, once water
pressure stabilizes, check for leaks. If pressure gauges do not register,
check for water flow issues between filtration system and spigot, kinks
in hose, etc.
10) If leaks are found, turn off water and make the necessary adjustments
to eliminate the leaks. If no leaks, open a faucet within the RV and let
water run for 5 minutes to clear any dust or debris from manufacturing
process. Once complete, turn off RV faucet.
11) Water can remain on at the spigot and is now available for use.
12) PRESSURE GAUGE is useful visual tool for determining flow rates in the
filter. Pressure Gauge will only register if system is fully connected on
inlet and outlet side and water is flowing and pressure can be measured.
As water pressure differs at different locations, it is best to compare the
initial pressures noted upon start up to current pressure reading to
determine if flow rate changes. An increase in pressure reading at either
gauge show sign the filter is approaching its useful life. Once pressure is
noted increases approximately 10-20% from initial reading, it is
recommended to change filter.
