INSTALLATION SUMMARY - 12 STEPS
Step 1:
Locate the following: **Main Water Supply Line, Drain Access, Electrical Outlet and Clearances.
Caution:
**Avoid soft water loops that bypass cold side kitchen sink(s) from these applications.
Step 2:
Check the incoming Water Pressure. Maximum water pressure not to exceed 65 psi.
Install a pressure regulator (PRV) if the water pressure exceeds or can surge above 65 psi.
Step 3:
Place the tank at the point of installation, making sure the tank is level (tanks have self-leveling bases) and
on a solid floor, note space necessary to complete the installation. Inside or Outside? See details.
Step 4:
Caution:
Since handling and moving the unit may loosen the valve head - make sure to Check and Hand
Tighten Valve Head on the Tank. Hand Tighten the Valve Head in a Clockwise Direction. Make sure tank
cover or plastic dome, if applicable does not interfere or cut into the connection.
Step 5:
Identify Water Main Supply and plumb inlet (supply) and outlet (filtered) into the unit following the directional
arrows molded onto the valve body. Plumb the unit with the bypass and the male yoke included, or for larger
brass valved units, a bypass must be plumbed. Do not cross-connect or plumb backwards. See detailed
installation schematics and the helpful information in this manual.
Step 6:
Connect a backwash drain line (minimum 1/2” or 3/4” ) based on application and provide an air gap.
Step 7:
Partially Open Inlet Valve Only. Fill Tank Slowly. Once tank is filled, completely open inlet valve.
Keep outlet valve closed. (Larger brass valved units, keep plumbed bypass valve closed).
Step 8:
Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Be sure the outlet is dedicated and unswitched.
An outlet that cannot be turned “on” or “off.”
Step 9:
Set the time of day on the valve display. The valve will read or flash between the time of day and the
remaining days before the next automatic backwash.
Step 10:
Backwash and Flush the system properly and completetly until the drain water runs clear.
Step 11:
Open Outlet Valve slowly (Larger valved units, keep plumbed bypass valve closed).
Check all plumbing connections
Step 12:
Run hot/cold water throughout the home (at every tap) to flush pipes and water heaters to prepare unit for
usage. You are done.
A typical installation no more difficult then a water heater. Just simply follow the proper set-up, installation
and start-up and if you have any questions call our offices and we would be glad to help in any way.
