 Looks like it takes the Tap water and passes it through all the filters in the PAC then into the SAC.  Next time I call Tech support I'll add that to my question. I know that box is heavy - got the best of me - had to find out why ? Also had a leak while initializing the PAC. Found out there is a sensor the box slides over - it has a green LED.Dried it  and was OK. For sure it's a learning process huh?

 I also had a leak in the control box. The waste line runs front to  back - it has several connections much like all the others we use - anyway it was loose and allowed the fluid to leak into the Tub  causing an alarm - BUT only after the weight of the SAC allowed the fluid to get under the SAC - talk about stink  :P I put a tuperware lid over the alarm  after drying it somewhat - that allowed me to finish the treatment.

Cool, thanks for the pic.  I had wondered about the contents, and the heavy weight for it's compact size, but hadn't bothered to look.  Next time we change out I'm going to try to look at the inside of one of those big filters.
