WATER HEATER
If the water heater has been exposed to both iron and hardness for a long period of time, replacement of the heater tank
may be the only practical solution to prevent continued staining originating from this source.
After completing the installation of the CHEMICAL FREE IRON FILTER SYSTEM, clean the water heater by following
these instructions.
1. Shut off energy supply to water heater and close heater inlet water valve.
2. Drain hot water tank completely. Open inlet water valve allowing heater tank to be filled with iron-free water. Continue
flushing until water runs clear to drain.
3. If after approximately 30 minutes flushing, water does NOT clear, terminate flushing operation. Refill hot water heater with
water and pour approximately 1/2 gallon of household bleach into top of heater tank. Allow bleach solution to stand in tank
for 20 to 30 minutes. Flush tank again until water is clear at drain. Turn energy supply on.
NOTE: If water does not clear in approximately 10 minutes, water heater probably should be replaced.
DISHWASHER
Consult owners handbook and follow manufacturer’s instructions.
TOILET FLUSH TANKS
Prior to commencing installation of the filter system, pour 4 to 6 ounces of resin mineral cleaner Iron Out or inhibited
muriatic acid into flush tanks and bowls and let stand. When installation is completed, flush toilets several times with
iron-free water. If iron deposits or stains remain, repeat procedure until clear.
