Assemble the filtration equipment following the manufacturer's instructions. Check that all the parts are properly locked in place.
Insert or install the recommended filter media following the manufacturer's instructions. The filter media must be in place in the filter apparatus before you prime the pump.

Turn the pump on. After pouring water into the filter to prime the pump, the machine could take up to a minute to generate a constant flow of water through the filter.
