System Installation Recommendations
1.
Verify that you have received all parts and there are no damaged or missing parts.
2.
Put gravel in first, then Neutralizer Media. Fill tank with clean water. Allow to soak for
at least one hour up to 24 hours.
3.
Make the plumbing connections from your existing system to the bypass assembly,
installing extra valves, unions, pressure gauges and hose bibs as needed.
4.
Do not use copper piping BEFORE the neutralizer, best to use PVC or PEX. OK to use
copper AFTER the neutralizer filter.
5.
Attach the control head to the tank, and to the bypass assembly.
6.
Install the Drain Line tubing and Drain Line Tubing Flow Control button (Internal for
models 2.0 CF and less, or External flow control assembly for models 2.5 CF and greater)
7.
Plug in the power supply and program the valve.
8.
Follow the instructions to put the system online and to verify the system is leak‐free.
Pre-Installation
1.
Review your packing list to make sure you have received all the parts before
installation.
2.
If you are going to be turning off the water to the house and you have an electric water
heater, shut off the power to the water heater before beginning installation.
3.
Pick a suitable location for your filter system on a dry level spot where it won’t be
exposed to freezing temperatures, direct sunlight, wind or rain.
4.
Get all of your plumbing parts together before beginning installation.
5.
After the system is installed and running, your water may be discolored, or full of
sediment or rust, especially if you have older or corroded piping. This typically clears
up over a day or two.
