3. Turn OFF main water supply and OPEN nearest faucet to relieve pressure.
4. Cut main line and install appropriate elbows and extensions. Inlet and outlet connections on the control valve are 3/4"
FNPT. (1" FNPT for RF30 and RF40.)
Caution:
Raised arrows located on the sides of control valve body and bypass valve indicate proper direction of water
flow. Install inlet and outlet piping in direction of arrows.
- Drain Line Connection -
1. Pull out clip and remove drain line assembly located on the left side of control valve. Remove drain line hose barb and
wrap threads with Teflon tape. Reinstall drain line hose barb.
Caution: Hand tighten only!
Replace drain line
assembly and reinstall clip.
2. Install 1/2” I.D. drain line tubing (not included) from hose barb to an open drain. A 4” gap between end of the drain line
and the open drain is required to prevent waste water backflow. Keep the drain line as short as possible. An overhead
drain line can be used if necessary, but should discharge below the control valve. A syphon trap (taped loop) at the
outlet of the drain line is advisable to keep the drain line full and assure correct flow during backwash. Elbows or other
fittings must be kept at a bare minimum.
Note:
Where the drain line is elevated above the control valve or exceeds 20 feet in length, 3/4” I.D. drain line tubing
should be used.
- Electrical Connection -
1. Connect the power supply to the control valve and plug into a 115 volt / 60 Hz receptacle.
Note:
Do not plug into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull chain that could inadvertently be turned off.
- Pressurizing The System -
2. Slowly rotate handle of the bypass valve to the SERVICE position.
3. Open the nearest faucet to evacuate air from plumbing lines.
4. Check for leaks! If water is observed leaking from bypass, o-rings on valve body may not be seated properly.
5. After air is evacuated from plumbing lines, turn off faucet.
- Initial Control Valve Operation -
1. Advance control valve to BACKWASH (cycle 1) position and allow water to run to drain for 3 to 4 minutes.
Warning:
Close handle on bypass prior to selecting the backwash position. After backwash position has been
established, slightly open valve on bypass to evacuate air from the media tank. Fully open bypass valve
when all air is depleted. This procedure will prevent media form being uplifted into control valve.
2. Advance control valve to RAPID RINSE (cycle 3) position and allow water to run to drain for 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Advance control valve to SERVICE (cycle 0) position.
