1. Place the system where you want to install it, making
sure it is on a clean, level and firm base.
2. Add Minerals: Remove control valve from the mineral
tank by turning counterclockwise. Plug open end (top) of
distributor tube to prevent any mineral from entering. Add
mineral to top chamber of the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL .
There must be at least 10” of space between the top of
the tank and the mineral. Remove the plug from the top
of the distributor tube. If mineral used is carbon, water
can be manually added to the tank to begin the soaking
process. Carbon should be soaked for a 24-hour period
to prevent the carbon from floating and being lost to drain
during backwash. Replace control valve.
3. Do all necessary plumbing (inlet to inlet, outlet to outlet,
and drain line to drain). The control valve, fittings and/or
bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing
misalignments but are not designed to support the weight
of a system or the plumbing.
4. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet
and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system
first and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat
from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut,
split ring or o-ring. Solder joint should be cool and solvent
cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring
and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on
any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control
valve.
5. A jumper ground wire should be installed between
the inlet and outlet pipe whenever the metallic
continuity of a water distribution piping system is
interrupted. Install grounding strap on metal pipes.
6. The drain connection may be made using either 5/8”
polytube (see page 6) or a 3/4” female adapter. The
polytube insert is shipped attached to the drain line
elbow’s locking clip. Press the insert into the drain line
tubing (tubing not provided). Loosen the nut of the drain
line elbow. Press the 5/8” polytube with insert into the
drain line elbow until it seats on the back of the fitting.
Tighten the nut. If soldering, joints near the drain must be
done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting.
Leave at least 6” between the drain line control fitting and
solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on
the drain line control fitting. Failure to do this could cause
interior damage to the drain line flow control fitting. Never
insert a drain line into a drain, sewer line, or trap. Always
allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater
to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned
into the system.
7. The brine refill flow control assembly is installed in an
easy to access refill elbow located on top of the control
valve. The refill flow control assembly is attached to the
control valve with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the
elbow to rotate 270 degrees so the outlet can be oriented
towards the brine tank.
8. Connect the brine line polytubing found with the brine
tank to the brine connection on the control valve. The
control valve has a standard refill elbow to which a 3/8”
flexible tube can be connected, see page 6. One polytube
insert is shipped on the brine line elbow’s locking clip.
Remove this white polytube insert and replace the locking
clip. The second polytube insert is taped to the top of
the brine well cap in the brine tank. Press the polytube
inserts into each end of the provided brine tubing, press
the polytube with insert into the nut on the brine fitting.
Tighten nut securely to create a pressure tight connection.
The nut, gripper and retainer sleeve is a three-piece
assembly that can come apart from the elbow body.
Parts must be reassembled exactly as shown to function
properly. If the nut is completely removed from the body,
slip the nut, plastic gripper and retainer sleeve on to the
tube then tighten on to the fitting. Make sure the floor
is clean beneath the brine tank and that it is level and
smooth. Install brine tubing to the brine tank using the
above instructions.
9. A 1/2” (inside diameter, not provided) gravity drain line
should be connected to the overflow fitting on the side of
the brine tank. This overflow is in case of a malfunction in
the brine shut off. If the unit is installed where water may
flow in the event of an overflow and cause water damage,
connect a length of flexible tubing and run to a drain below
the level of the overflow. (Do not connect the tubing to
the drain line on the control valve. Do not run tubing
above overflow height at any point.)
(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes)
