The granular carbon used in the bottom tank contains 1-2% by volume of carbon fines that must be flushed out prior to use. Surge flushing is the best method for purging these carbon fines from the media bed. 1. Once out of the box, keep the tank upright at all times as to not apply pressure to divider. Remove shipping caps from inlet and outlet ports.
INSTALLATION STEPS 3 Prepare Rhino Tank Wrap your pipe nipples with NSF certified plumber's tape. Connect the nipples to the system's inlet and outlet.
