If System is equipped with a Bypass Valve, do not
open Bypass Valve except in emergencies. Opening
the Bypass Valve will permit potentially microbially
contaminated water to enter the household water dis-
tribution system. Drinking contaminated water may
cause serious illness and/or death. Do not drink the
water if the System has been operated in bypass mode.
If the System has been operated in bypass mode
and if the water is being drawn from a well or
surface water source, the System and the house-
hold water distribution system should be disin-
fected again once returned to filtration mode.
If the System is in bypass mode, the controller must
be unplugged. Failure to do so may cause System to
dry and become damaged, leading to personal injury,
and/or physical damage and will
void all warranties
.
A bypass is not required for proper operation of the Sys-
tem. However, some local plumbing codes may require
a bypass. If a bypass is to be installed, the procedure
described below is to be followed in order to provide
water in an emergency or during System malfunction.
Bypass Procedure
1.
Close Inlet and Outlet Valves. (If ball
valves are installed, turn the handles
perpendicular to the water pipe.)
2.
Open Bypass Valve (If ball valve is in
stalled, turn the handle in-line with the water
pipe).
3.
Unplug Controller.
To return to filtered water service:
1.
Close Bypass Valve. (If ball valve is
installed, turn the handle perpendicular to
the water pipe.)
2.
Open Inlet and Outlet Valves. (If ball
valves are installed, turn the handles
in-line with the water pipe.)
3.
Plug in the controller.
4.
Follow the
cleaning
section under
f. COMMiSSiOninG
in this manual to re-
commission the System.
WARNING!
Emergency Bypass
Safety
The System will be damaged if frozen. The
System must be winterized according to the
Winterization Procedure described in this manual.
The System must be winterized prior to temperatures
falling below 32
o
F(0
o
C). Failure to do so may cause
the System to dry, freeze, become damaged, and
will
void all warranties
. Operating a damaged System
may lead to personal injury, and/or physical damage.
WARNING!
Winterization
The MC-1 cleaner SHOULD NOT be combined with
any other chemical or cleaning solution, especially
hypochlorite or household bleach. Failure to do can
result in serious personal injury, illness, or death.
