The Bracket assembly must be mounted directly 

 

to the wall studs or the two pieces of 2x4 lumber 

 

installed earlier. The four 2½” wall-mounting 

 

anchoring bolts are for wood studs only. If the wall 

 

is made of concrete, use appropriate concrete 

 

bolts for this installation.

  

• 

Mark the first hole location on the stud or lumber. 

 

    Ensure that all spacing requirements are   

 

    satisfied.

 

• 

 Drill a hole suitable for the supplied 2½” 

 

    anchoring bolt.

 

•

  Leaving one end of the Bracket assembly on the 

   

    ground for support, lift the opposite end of the 

  

    Bracket up, align the top mounting hole on the 

 

    Bracket assembly with the pre-drilled hole on the   

 

    wall stud, and secure the Bracket assembly with 

 

    one 2½” anchoring bolt. Do not tighten this bolt 

 

    completely.

The System is shipped fully assembled, except for  

the System Base.  Attach the System Base to the Back-

pulse Tank, using the supplied 

3/8” bolts and washers.

1

The Backpulse Tank has been pre-pressurized to ap-

proximately 30-35 psi from the factory. Confirm the Backpulse 

Tank pressure. If the Backpulse Tank pressure is less than 30 

psi, add air using a pump. Recheck the pressure after 15 min-

utes to ensure that there are no leaks in the Backpulse Tank.

3

The pressure may require adjustment depending 

on the water system of the home. Refer to the Table below 

to ensure proper tank pressure.  Air can be added or 

released from the Air Bladder Valve as required.

NOTE: For 

 

UFC 207, UF 207, UFC 209, UF 209,  UFC 

211, and UF 211 models

, cut open the plastic bag before 

standing the System upright.

Stand the System upright carefully.

WARNING!

Handle the System with care. The outside surfaces of the 

System may be slippery with a food-grade preservative 

used in the manufacturing process.

WARNING!

If the Backpulse Tank has less than 20 psi of pressure, the 

integrity test will fail.

Only check the Backpulse Tank when the System is 

depressurized.
