PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic Reduction Elements
Priming Tips
1. With the blue caps in place, wash the exterior of each PF-2
element with water and dish washing soap.
2. With clean hands, remove one blue cap from the end of a PF-2
element. It does not matter which blue cap is removed.
3. While holding the PF-2 element under your sink faucet,
slowly turn on the cold water and fill the PF-2 element with water
(about ½ cup is needed). Then turn the water off.
4. Replace the blue cap on the PF-2 element and shake it gently to
help loosen any manufacturing dust that may be trapped within the
element. Gently tapping the PF-2 element on the counter a few
times will also help to loosen any excess manufacturing dust.
5. Remove both blue caps from the ends of the PF-2 element and
empty out any residual water.
6. Place the tan rubber priming button onto one end of the PF-2
element and align the hole of the element with the hole of the
priming button.
7. Press the priming button up against the sink faucet so the priming
button creates a seal between the faucet and the PF-2 element.
Place your thumb on top of the faucet to apply more pressure,
creating a better seal.
8. Turn on the cold water slowly, allowing water to fill the cavity of
the PF-2 element and discharge from the opposite end. Allow
water to flow for one to two minutes or until the water runs clear.
9. To determine if more priming is necessary, run additional water
through the element using a clear glass, to collect the water
discharging from the opposite end. If the collected water still
appears cloudy, continue priming until the water is clear.
The priming process may need to be repeated more
than once to completely remove any residual manufacturing
dust.
10. Turn the PF-2 element over to prime the other end, repeating steps
6 through 9.
11. Repeat steps 1 through 10 for each additional PF-2 element.
Note: Do not discard the priming button or blue caps as you may need
them in the future to re-prime the elements.
