Kinetico K60 dechlorinator media replacement

[danielh]

Hey all, I've found everything I need to replace the media in the main and secondary tanks, however I can't find out what to do for the dechlorinator. Can anybody help fill in the gaps for me?

To double check my knowledge, I need to get .75cu of cation softening resin for each tank and follow the bedding procedure. I shouldn't need any other parts/etc.

I have replaced all of media for the 3 tanks(2060S system) early this year. From info I have is they all need .7cu on each tank. Make sure to get coarser carbon media if you can.

Got it, so coarser carbon media. Do you have a recommendation on what/how much gravel to pair with the carbon media? I want to clarify, carbon media only for the dechlorinator, right?

No gravel is needed if tanks are 8'x40'. Search for Kinetico manual with key word "Under bedding", it says none for this side of tanks.
Yes, carbon media is for dechlorinator. You should have 3 tanks - First one is dechlorinator, second and third are resin media.
You have to clean carbon media correctly or the tiny pieces will go into the others 2 tanks and into your faucets. It had happened to me. Good luck.
