OPERATION

WARNING! NEVER plug the sink basin drain and ll the basin with water to wash parts. This may cause the buckets

to collapse if the pump keeps pumping. The CINK system is designed to function with continuous recirculation of

water.

Note: Under heavy continuous use, water may become cloudy. If the system is allowed sedimentation time, ner

particles will settle. You should periodically refresh the water in the system (at least once per week) after adequate

sedimentation time is allowed. See Maintenance (Page 7) for instructions.

Note: Unplug The CINK if it will be left unattended for extended periods of time.

Key Operating Steps

234

Check water levels and that faucet valve is o (system won’t function

properly if 6.5-gal. bucket is below 1/3 full). With faucet valve OFF

(handle upward), aim spray nozzle into sink basin.

Plug GFCI power cord into

3-prong electric power outlet

(observe safety cautions).

Turn the faucet valve ON

(handle down) to begin

the ow of water.

When nished, turn the faucet

valve OFF (handle up).

| 619-905-9400 7

Unplug the power cord

from the electrical outlet.

Disconnect the 5-gal.

quick disconnects.

Disconnect upper drain union

turning clockwise.

Twist counter-clockwise to remove

bucket and lid (keep track of clear

plastic gasket). Pour o water

and remove waste clay.

Rell the 5-gal. bucket with

fresh water to the ll line.

Reattach the lid. Make sure it is

seated properly and tight (be

careful not to overtighten). Slide

the bucket under the sink and

align the drainpipe. You may need

to push down on the bucket lid

so the drainpipe will t.

Turn the upper drain union counter-

clockwise to tighten. Be sure

clear plastic gasket is in place.

Reconnect the quick disconnect linking the

5-gal. bucket to the center of the 6.5-gal. bucket.

MAINTENANCE

To maintain The CINK, you will need to empty the 5-gallon clay collection bucket, clean the lter bag and replace the

string lter cartridge periodically. You may also need to winterize or prepare The CINK for periods of unuse. Remem-

ber, as you perform these maintenance steps, small amounts of water may leak out from the system.

Emptying the 5-Gallon Clay Collection Bucket

The 5-gallon bucket is intended to capture most of the clay and slip that will be put into The CINK. You will need to

empty this bucket more frequently than cleaning or replacing the other two lters.

To empty the 5-gallon bucket when it has collected a signicant amount of clay:

diamondcoretools.com | info@diamondcoretools.com8

Unplug the GFCI power cord

from the electrical outlet.

Disconnect both disconnects.

Remove the 6.5-gal. bucket and lid.

Remove lter bag by pushing

up, then tilt at an angle and

pull o sideways.

Clean lter bag and put back on

lter head. Pour water from bucket

and dispose of clay sediment.

Make sure lid is seated

properly and tight.

Slide the bucket back on the cart.

Rotate the bucket so that the elbow

connector in the center is facing

toward the 5-gal. bucket.

Reconnect both disconnects.

Reinstall the lter bag in the reverse

order it was taken o. Rell bucket up

to the ll line before reassembly.

MAINTENANCE

Emptying the 6.5-Gallon Filtered Sediment Bucket and Cleaning the Filter Bag

The lter bag in the 6.5-gallon ltered sediment bucket is designed to stop particles and debris that are not settled

out in the 5-gallon clay collection bucket (smaller bucket). This lter can usually be cleaned instead of replaced. The

sediment level in the bottom of the 6.5-gallon bucket should not be allowed to get above 1 inch thick.

To empty the 6.5-gallon ltered sediment bucket and clean the lter bag:

| 619-905-9400 9

Unplug GFCI power cord. Push down on the red button

to release vacuum.

Turn blue lter housing

clockwise to remove. Caution:

Filter housing is full of water.

Remove and clean string

lter and housing. Do not

misplace the black O-ring.

Remove black O-ring and wipe

the groove clean. Place the

O-ring back into the groove. If it

appears damaged or crimped,

it should be replaced.

Reinsert clean or new string lter,

making sure that it slips down

over the standpipe inside on the

bottom of the blue housing. Rell

with water to top of housing.

Reconnect the blue lter housing,

making sure that the string lter

slips over the upper standpipe.

Twist the blue lter housing counter-

clockwise and hand-tighten.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Make sure the valve handle

is OFF and the faucet nozzle is

aimed into the basin. Plug the

power cord back in.

MAINTENANCE

Changing the Filter Cartridge in the Big Blue Filter

The big blue lter collects ultra-ne clay particles and should be cleaned at least every 3 months. Eventually, the

pores of the lter cartridge will ll up and the water ow from the spray nozzle will decrease. At that time, please visit

www.DiamondCoreTools.com, call 619-905-9400 or email info@diamondcoretools.com to purchase replacement lters.

To change the lter cartridge:

diamondcoretools.com | info@diamondcoretools.com10

Unplug the unit and empty

and clean both buckets and

the string lter housing.

DO NOT REPLACE ANY WATER.

Drain pump by removing tabs

and pulling tubes from sockets.

With tubes removed, purge the

pump of any water by plugging in

the power cord for only 2 seconds,

THEN UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.

2 seconds

MAINTENANCE

Note: After the system has had a chance to dry, be sure to plug the hose ttings back into the pump and press the

blue or black lock tabs on the pump back down all the way.

Extended Non-Use of The CINK

If you don’t plan to use The CINK for an extended period, we recommend unplugging the unit, removing all water

and clay from the system, cleaning the unit and allowing the lters to air dry. Follow instructions for Winterizing The

CINK above.

Winterizing The CINK (Cold Weather or Freezing Conditions)

CAUTION: The CINK is NOT designed to operate or be stored with water or clay in it during freezing conditions.

If freezing conditions are anticipated, remove all water and clay from the entire system. The manufacturer is not

responsible for any damage to the system, caused by the user, due to cold weather or freezing conditions.

Water Cleanliness

If you want to include an additive to the water to help prevent the water from smelling, you can add pool or spa

chlorine or oil. Additives are also good to help prevent bacteria in the water.
