Aqua Prima filter (where installed)
The Aqua Prima filter purifies the water used in the

Its properties reduce the hardness of water and remove
the unpleasant taste of chlorine.
The Aqua Prima filter may be installed at any time.
Installing the Aqua Prima filter

tank.
Empty the tank of any
water.
