NOTE: If you ordered an “M” model iron and manganese reduction system, the fi lter pack media would be designated by an M at the end of the part
number i.e. MC-10MP.
To load the fi lter media into the media tank please use the follow steps. This is necessary to ensure that the distributor tube has not been pulled up when
the control valve was removed from the top of the media tank.
Step 1
a) Remove from the shipping carton the fi lter unit
b) Carefully remove the control valve from the tank by rotating the valve head assembly to the left (counter-clockwise).
c) Set all items aside for future use. Ensure that the following items have been shipped entirely with the unit to allow for proper and complete installation. I
i. Control
valve
ii. Media tank (also a reducing bushing and fl anged adapter on APIF300)
iii. Bypass valve
iv. 1” Male NPT Connection Kit
v. Media (amount will vary by fi lter size)
vi. Distributor Tube
vii. Drain line assembly kit
viii. Parts bag
ix. Hydrocharger
x. Installation and Operating Instructions
xi. Loading funnel
xii. Centering Tool
d) Remove the distributor tube in the tank, set aside and pour the gravel into a clean pail for later use.
e) Reinsert the distributor tube into the tank and ensure the tube is centered in the tank; a dimple is in the center of the tank to help in doing so. Using the
centering tool and cap, cover the distributor tube opening to prevent fi lter media and gravel from entering the distributor tube during the loading of the tank.
f) Threaded Tank Models: APIF100, APIF100J, APIF100PT, APIF100MPT, APIF100MJ, APIF150, APIF150J, APIF150M, APIF150PT, APIF150MPT, APIF150MJ,
APIF200, APIF200J, APIF200PT, APIF200MPT, APIF200MJ, APIF300, APIF300J, APIF300PT, APIF300MPT, APIF300MJ: Place the funnel provided, in the opening
of the media tank to aid in loading the gravel and fi lter media. Pour the QC gravel into the tank slowly. While holding the distributor tube in place, shake the
tank from side to side gently, to aid in leveling the QC gravel. Do not allow gravel to get under the basket of the distributor tube during the loading of gravel.
If this happens, pour out the gravel and remove the distributor tube once again and reload gravel once again. Next locate the fi lter media and slowly pour
into the tank. Again shake the tank from side to side to aid in leveling the media. Next, using a hose or clean pail, fi ll the tank with water to saturate the fi lter
media and expel any air that may be present, remove the extension tube, cap and funnel, and save for future servicing.
g) Dome Hold Tank Models: APIF100DM, APIF100PTDM, APIF100MDM, APIF100MPTDM, APIF150DM, APIF150PTDM, APIF150MDM, APIF150MPTDM, APIF200DM,
APIF200PTDM, APIF200MDM, APIF200MPTDM:
Add media through fi llport cap located on tank using funnel (See FILLING MEDIA TANK below). Fillport cap can be removed by turning a quarter turn counter clockwise.
