Instructions for Acqua Bella's V-series canisters

Installation: Outlet is in the top center of the canister. Depending upon whether this is a standard or a raised bed model, the inlet is either on the top side or bottom side of the canister.

Operation: The granular activated carbon in this vessel will adsorb impurities from the air stream. Removal efficiency is reduced as flow rates are increased. Contact Acqua Bella Inc. for flow rate information, or check http://acquabella.net on the web. Some impurities may require less flow then quoted to increase carbon retention time. As the carbon becomes saturated, some impurities will begin to pass through. To extend the useful life of the canister it is recommended that two canisters be plumbed in series. Replace the first canister when influent and effluent concentrations in the first canister are equal. Move the second canister to the first position and place the new canister last.

Drain Vessel: Occasionally moisture in the air stream will condense in the carbon canister. This liquid must be drained before the unit is returned. (Method 1, standard models): Using a shop vacuum, hold vacuum hose tight to 2" discharge opening and draw out liquid. (Method 2): Remove 3/4" or 2" bung from the bottom of the canister and let liquid drain out. Allow to drain 24 hours before shipping.

Caution: 1) Do not exceed 2 psig (50 inches of water) operating pressure to prevent storage of energy from the compression of gas. Always remember that compressed gas can create an explosive release of energy. Never remove the lid ring or attached piping while the canister is in use. 2) Activated carbon has been known to react adversely with some contaminants. Test carbon before if affects are unknown.
