Aquasana Rhino EQ-1000 and EQ-600 Installation The Aquasana 600,000 and 1,000,000 gallon Rhino installations mind the same steps, which are as follows: Step 1: Pre-condition the Rhino tank. To do this, connect it to a garden hose and turn the faucet on. Leave it running for about 15 minutes. Due to carbon fines, the first several gallons will be black and cloudy. Next, begin to surge flush the tank. Turn the water on and off for 30 seconds each until the water runs clear. This should take another 15 minutes. Step 2: Pick a location. You must install the unit in a location where the main water line enters the house before it connects to your water heater. Be sure to turn off the main water source before you install the unit. Step 3: Prepare the Rhino tank. Wrap the pipe’s nipples with plumber’s tape, and then connect them to the system’s outlet and inlet. Step 4: If you are installing on copper pipes, install two grounding clamps, as well as a #4 copper wire, where the unit will be placed. If you are installing the unit on PVC pipes instead of copper, skip this step and proceed to step 5. Step 5: Install the Shut-Off Valve. Use a pipe cutter to cut into the main water supply line. Loosely fit shut-off valve so that you can calculate how much space you need for the unit’s components. Measure the distance you need for the pre-filter, tank, and any optional add-ons. Step 6: Cut pipes along the measured distances and clean the ends of the pipe, making sure that they are smooth. Step 7: Configure the system. Fit the Rhino tank and any add-ons into the system. Screw the pre- filter support bracket into the wall and attach the pre-filter component. Connect the entire system together using PVC glue, barbed fittings, slip fittings, etc. Make sure the parts are flowing through the IN port in accordance with water flow. Step 8: Check the system. Once any glue has dried, turn the water on slowly and check for leaks. Then, turn on the closest faucet and let it run for several minutes. Now your system is all set up and ready to use.
