How to replace Carbon Media in your water filter system

What size gravel media?  1/8" pea gravel or smaller?

How to know when to change the carbon

do you have to put pea gravel in before the carbon?  I never heard that before?  Also, I know I need to put a cubic foot in mine, my question is.... aren't you supposed to do a rinse out of your newly bedded carbon filter before running it through your softening system?

How can I tell what type of media I have in my system? I am trying to remove Iron stains

How often do you need to change the media? I purchased this property 19 months ago and the water was great, it is well water. Just before Christmas the water has started to smell a little like sulphur. The well and filtration system was installed in 2005.

Hi .please tell me .i have needs par day 4000 liter water. .4% iron and 2% mud in my water. Please tell me how much of the amount of carbon or resin or other medan how many kg need .and what the name of other Medan

hello, we're going to use 13" by 54" tank but we don't know how much media we need to use. btw, we're thinking of using activated carbon and 2 layer of gravel for our post-filter and silica sand and the same layer of gravel for our pre-filter

Thanks

Good to know I have a Kinetico water treatment system & I'm having the CARBON filter added.

Will carbon remove oil Our well water

bastetd are you drunk

Every month when my water softener regenerates my water comes out black from the faucets, sinks, toilets and showers. It will stay black for a couple days then clear up. My clothes have also started to have a musty smell and won't go away no matter what I do. The black water has ruined my toilets and showers. Is it because I need to replace the carbon? Please help me I'm desperate. We have had our softener for 4 years.

What's the name of the cup shape filter at the tip of the distributor tube?

Thank you....

Bad directions here. There should be a gravel base

very good demonstration, thanks It is better to wear gloves to avoid soiling you hands

Can you use charcoal in these?

Can I do this without a lab coat?

No gravel around the basket ?

Hi I’ve purchased a secondhand cylinder it’s about 32” tall I just wanted to know do I fill it up with carbon to the top or do i only fill 3/4.

I use a shop vac to remove media, then flush vessel with clean water. Saves your back and time!

Where can I buy just the tank by itself?

Have a easier way to take the carbon out of a tank without lifting the system at all. It takes no more than 5 minutes

I'm Japanese. Thanks for your nice movie. This made me easy to understand how to use softners.

What do you use to seal the valve at the top of the tank when you put it back on? Gasket material or gasket maker of some sort, coat the threads with pipe dope? Thanks.

Adding activated carbon without a 6" gravel underbed is just all wrong. Distributors only will plug up. Carbon begins to build up biologically after about a year and should be replaced. 5 years is also all wrong. You can tip over the tank and use a hose over on a screen below it to catch the carbon. I also find it best, with the top off, to slowly with a hose add water until full. Then let it sit for a little while which when it is put back together will flush out better and quicker of the carbon fines.

How much media for a 1354 rank

pani ma test neai haa raha ha kasha

Holy shit - I think I'd rinse the media with water before pouring it into the filter.

Glory to God for this Bliss. Trav is Travis 💯👑🔥

How much catalytic carbon you have to fill out if your tank is 52x12

Thank you very much for explaining how to replace the media

Hi Sir, our source water is 700 TDS. what kind of elements that i will used? tnx.

I insert and cap the center tub, I fill the tank with water, I then add the pea gravel, then I add the carbon and as everything falls to the bottom the lighter stuff just overflow with the water. It makes it clean enough for me.

How much media do i need for a rain soft ec4 system

do you have tank ready to replace and exchanged wt an old one?

How U gonna pickup a 16" tho :/

Stupid video

Should I do a water test to know the type of media I need, or is all media the same?
Thanks in advance

how many pounds of carbon does that size of tank that you are preparing?

would be much better if you actually perform a real tank with media. After installing the new stone and carbon media then reinstalling the tube and valve body, is there any filling of the tank and letting it sit for two days and/or some kind of backflowing efforts? Chocobill

I always knew the media was dirty

I have a brand new 10x44 tank that I am going to add to my 10x44 water softener tank as I’m rebedding with new resin. I’m going to put new tank before the softener. But want media that doesn’t get back washed. I ordered a regular non electric clack control head and also have a new riser tube. My question is, what kind of media would be best that would last at least a couple years without being backwashed. I’d like the best media.

Here’s my current setup before water hits my main house water line:

One large capacity iSpring 50 micron self flushing electric filter, then 25 micron charcoal/sediment filter, then water softener, then smaller iSpring 50 micron self flushing electric filter, then three stage, 5 micron whole house filters (20x4.5 each), then the whole house iSpring uv light before hitting the main water to the house


I’m also wondering if there’s a way to manually backwash this. I was thinking if I ran the water in reverse on the new tank only with water entering to outlet and exiting the inlet with a garden hose attached, that it would backwash it manually


Thanks for any info!
