Connect hose from facet to pro 10,000 but do not connect to RV yet. Turn on facet and let water run through and out of the pro 10000 for about 2 minutes. This instruction is for a new tank before first use if that's what your asking about.

Mostly because they are worried about rinsing the beneficial bacteria off of their used filter cartridges. I don't do that, I just rinse it off in tap water, but generally you clean the filters at the same time you do water changes, so it works out that you have the tank water hanging around. In my opinion, if the beneficial bacteria can be killed in your tank by rinsing the filter cartridge with tap water, then you have a very weak tank and maybe need some supplement.

I did. Not sure if it helped because I had another rinse already in, but my main goal is to soften the water running through my appliances to keep the buildup at a minimum. Only time will tell.

You remove it from the unit and turn it upside down. Then you remove the cap (which I find is not always easy, on the other hand I've never had a leaking problem). Fill it with tap water and replace and tighten the cap. Then replace the tank on the unit, it will not spill or leak when you turn it right side up. It's very simple and the instructions included for filling and cleaning are very clear. We used this unit in a 10x13 room all last winter on the low setting and it was excellent.

That is the system cleaning the water. A system like cleans the water but not all of it goes in the tank, so some of it goes down the drain, that is what you hear.

You have to clean it frequently- like at least every week. It gets murky otherwise. The filter is a piece of crap and the tank is little.

Of course. You just put hot water into the upper solution tank. The lower tank is where the sucked-up water with all the dirt is collected. However, the soap concentrate that comes with the cleaning unit is really just a cleaning detergent. I would not worry about it. There are many more chemicals in your everyday life that are far more concerning such as food food dyes and preservatives.

I believe they put oil in it to test run it. After that they usually drain it. Then ship it out. I had to fill mine, however you can still see the residue left. If u had a full tank, they probably forgot to drain, but make sure you check the level.

This unit comes with poor instruction especially in regard to the valve that is used to drain the unit. After 3 hours you tank should almost be full. Do you hear water going down the drain. If so, in my opinion, you have not closed the drainage valve, thus not filtered water is being produced, it is all going down your drain. I am assuming you have the valve on top of the tank in the open position, and all the other lines are connected correctly. If so, then you problem is that you drain vale located some where on the unit that has the 3 cartiarages is open, and needs to be closed for water to collect in the tank. Hope that helps.

Actually, the instructions tell you to rinse. So I do, and it works very nicely. It also feels nice in the bath, so it's your choice.

I spoke with tech support for this product about reducing the weight of the tank before storing for travel. I now attach a small portable air compressor to the inlet side of the unit and push the water out the discharge side. You can get most of the water out this way and should have less water present in the unit to cause a problem. You should not turn the unit upside down to drain water as it may cause loss of the media.

The instructions on mine (110 gallons size) say to change every 3 months, and rinse with tank water once/month. To me the important think to know is this is your biological and should not be cleaned or changed too often, and only in rotation with the other components to your system . I have rinsed with tap water on occasion, since I know the biological bacteria is also in the gravel, etc. I have also used it longer then 3 months.

It means it can easily be changed from a "continuous duty mechanical/chemical" filter to a "water polishing" filter. I run two on my 90 gal. tank and one is dedicated to water polishing only. My tank water is always CRYSTAL CLEAR.Hope this helps.

with the chlorine remover liquid just pour it in as you fill the tank. Do not take all the water out of tank .

Some people do, but I didn't for my aquarium. You don't have to, and some people prefer to keep it dirty. Just a heads up, your tank will be very cloudy for a few days, but this is perfectly normal and it will settle on its own. Just keep your filter running.

one of the tanks is for the clening solution. the other side is to "take up" the dirty water. Simple. And it works!

Never rinse with tap water take some of the tank water put it in a bucket and rinse that way replace when it starts falling apart replace it
