- Reservoir Placement for Refilling
- Periodic reservoir swap out or refill
- Larger reservoirs may be placed up to 40 feet from dispersal unit
- GP 1-gallon containers can use a syphon top to connect directly to dispersal unit
- Change out 1-gallon top that comes with it and add 1-gallon syphon top
- Measure and cut feeder tubing
- Remove onboard container feeder tubing
- Thread 1-gallon syphon top into tubing
- Connect metal filter to end of tubing
- Put filler end in one-gallon container and push to bottom
- Tighten cap
- Connect feeder tube to dispersal unit
- Repeat all steps above for cleaner container
- Extended tubing
- Balancing
- Walk through the applicable zone and ensure that some haze is coming out of every register
- Review sensor readings for specific acceptable particle count levels
- Monitor GP concentration in the air until stabilized at (target levels)
- If target levels are not stable across all sensors, consult HVAC technician for obstructions in airflow
- Dampers
- Blocked ducts
- Filters
- Assess initial sensor placement for real world monitoring based on information gained during previous balancing steps
- Will need more detailed instruction on sensor placement adjustment recommendations
- Re-run balancing process and assess for concentration level stabilization
- May need to run balancing process multiple times to assess variable configurations until target levels are reached on all sensors
- Document permanent sensor placement

- Maintenance level is reached after periodic peaks and valleys in concentration
- Haze infusions will continue until vapor level/invisible product concentrations can stabilize
- This will take several cycles
- Room is stabilized (balanced) when sensors maintain target levels and GP concentration in the air is invisible
- Equipment refilling and cleaning
- Ongoing monitoring and maintenance of the system
