4. Open garden hose valve slowly to begin filling the tank (takes
a few minutes). Once a steady trickle begins pouring from the
opposite port, increase the water pressure. Do this for about
15 to 20 minutes until water flows clear.
* Installers Tip: Once water looks clear, hold your hand under the flow
-
ing water. Your hand will contrast against faint traces of sediment and
help you see when the water is fully rinsed.
5. Now it’s time to switch rinsing directions. Position the
water hose in the opening of the opposite port and begin filing.
Continue rinsing until water runs clear. The rinsing phase is
now complete.
Step 4 – Assembling elbows
Assembling the two male pair 1”
male treaded elbow adapters. You
will be placing the nut followed
by the white slip ring. Push the
white slip ring down to the in
-
ner most groove. Next, slide the
split ring onto elbow, placing in
last groove. Repeat for remaining
elbow.
Step 5 – UPFLOW configuration:
1. Lube O rings.
2. Fit the elbow adapter end
with the O-rings onto the bypass
valve, tighten the easy connect
nuts. Repeat with other elbow
assembly.
Note: The elbows are configured to
be used in any direction. Household
plumbing can be coming from below, the top or even the side.
This is the standard fitting included with the package. To
accommodate various plumbing types, alternate fitting
configurations are available and assemble identically to the bypass
valve.
Do not use a wrench to tighten fittings and parts.
Using a wrench
to tighten will crack the plastic. Only hand-tightening is needed.
