Connect the outlet of the UV sterilizer to your outgoing water pipe in the same manner using 

the other flexible stainless steel connector provided, or your own pipe tubing and fittings if 

preferred or required. 

 

If desired, you can plumb in shut-off valves before and after the system and/or a bypass loop 

that can provide untreated water to your home during servicing. 

 

Step 16 – Initial Start-up and Leak Testing 

 

Ensure that both bypass valves are in the “bypass” position.   

 

 

 

Turn on the main water supply.  Open a cold water tap nearby and let the water run for a few 

minutes until the system is free of foreign material and air that may have resulted from the 

installation.  Once the water is running clear and free of air, close the water tap.   

 

 

INSPECT ALL PLUMBING CONNECTIONS AND THE INTERFACE BETWEEN THE MEDIA 

TANK AND ITS VALVE HEAD FOR LEAKS AND REPAIR ANY LEAKS FOUND BEFORE 

PROCEEDING. 

 

Open the bypass valve for the ecoTAC™ filter to the service position.  

Leave the bypass for 

the ecoPLUS™ filter in the bypass position.  

Slowly open a nearby faucet, allowing a slow 

flow of water.  It may take several minutes for the flow of water to arrive as the media tank 

will be slowly filling with water.  During this time, air will escape from the faucet.  Run the 

water until the system is free of air then close the water tap.  

 

 

Media Pre-Soak 

Set the bypass valve for the ecoTAC™ filter to the bypass position.  

Open the 

bypass valve on the ecoPLUS™ system to the “service” position.  Slowly open a nearby
