NOTE Regarding Teflon tape and pipe sealants:  It is OK to use Teflon tape and pipe sealant on the 
water pipe connector threads, where you attach your pipes or plumbing to the 5700-E. DO NOT USE 
any Teflon tape or pipe joint compound on the tank itself or on the threads where the 5700-E threads 
into the tank.   

6.

 

Install the 5700-E backwash control-timer valve on to the top of the filter tank by hand, do not over-
tighten. Tighten with hands, there is no need for a pipe wrench or other wrench.   

7.

 

See the bypass image below.  Note the pipe connectors, while the other end is what gets attached to 
the control valve. The 5700-E valve is usually shipped in by-pass position.  Leave in bypass position for 
now.
