The Mineral Extractor offers an inexpensive way of
removing the expelled bed of any size or height tank without removing the tank. It works with water pressure, not suction.
It will work on any and all type beds, and will even remove the gravel bed if needed. |
|
|
|
The Mineral Extractor has a sealed cavity that is filled with liquid silicone to
lubricate the O-ring seals on the riser tube. The main body of the Mineral Extractor carries a five (5) year guarantee
against cracking. |
|
|
For larger commercial units with a fixed distributor, there is a 4 inch offset extension adapter
that will allow you to leave the distributor in place, and use the Mineral Extractor with the same ease as on the
smaller 2.5 inch residential tanks. |
|
|
This kit will work on all 2.5 inch and 4 inch tank threads. In most cases, the Mineral Extractor
will save you its cost every time you use it (not to mention your back). A must for every shop and service truck. |
|
|
1. |
Remove the control valve and the riser tube from the tank top.
|
2. |
Slide the black adapter to the bottom of the riser tube near the tee.
|
3. |
Screw the black adapter onto the tank and push the riser tube down to the bottom of
the mineral bed. (The tee will stop at the gravel bed.)
|
4. |
Connect a garden hose to the inlet adapter.
|
5. |
Turn on the water and the mineral will be pushed out of the tank with water pressure
at the outlet spout. (The Mineral Extractor will remove 1 cubic foot of resin in approximately 60 seconds.)
