OPERATION
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.

MAINTENANCE
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 signicant amount of clay:

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:

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:

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.
