Installation Instructions
CAUTION:
If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker
box to the water meter or underground copper
pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these
lines are cut during installation of the Noryl
bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved
grounding strap must be used between the two
lines that have been cut in order to maintain
continuity. The length of the grounding strap will
depend upon the number of units being installed
and/or the amount of copper pipe being replaced
with poly. See Figure 1.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used
and is later interrupted by poly pipe or the Noryl
bypass valve, as in Figure 1 or by physical
separation as in Figure 2, to maintain proper
metallic pipe bonding, an approved ground clamp
c/w not less than #6 copper conductor must be
used for continuity.
Check your local electrical code for the correct
clamp and cable size.
NOTE:
This timer’s programs will be out of sync if
you turn the knob too far or do not allow the drive
motor to stop completely before continuing to the
next step. If this happens while doing any
procedure, rotate the knob clockwise until the
white dot lines up with the time of day arrow and
the unit will return to the service position. You can
then start again.
1.
Place filter on a flat surface in desired location, near a drain and 115 volt AC outlet. Subjecting your filter to freezing or to
water temperatures above 120°F (49°C) will void the warranty. Remove the valve from the carton. Be sure the distributor
tube is in place. Carefully position the valve over it and turn securely on to the fiberglass tank.
Note:
All multi media and some larger units are supplied with the media separate. Please refer to page 5 Installations &
Replacement of Filter Media Pak.
2. Attach the installation kit or bypass to the control valve. Make inlet and outlet water connections to meet applicable
plumbing codes. A 3/4” inlet line is recommended. When sweat fittings are used, solder the adapters for the inlet and outlet
to the copper pipe first. This procedure is necessary because the controls
must not
be subjected to temperatures above
160°F (71°C). Then, using teflon tape, screw the adapters for the inlet, outlet and drain into the valve. CAUTION: do not
use pipe thread compound as it may attack the materials in the valve body.
3. On the drain, use 1/2” hose barb supplied and full 1/2” hose (not supplied) for the drain line and make the shortest run to a
suitable drain. The drain line must be secured in position at the end which discharges into the drain so it cannot be
inadvertently moved from the drain.
4. Loosen the two screws on the timer cover to remove it from the timer.
5. Automatic water filters are supplied from the factory in the backwash position, ready for start up. Turn on the water supply
to the unit. Open the supply line slowly and allow the air to escape from the filter before turning the supply water on all the
way. Allow the unit to backwash until all the air and media fines are no longer showing at the drain. This may take up to 15
minutes so you need to unplug the timer until you are ready to continue.
6. Plug the timer in, set the time and frequency of regeneration following instruction on page 4. Allow the unit to complete the
cycle on its own from this point.
7. Make sure the bypass valve is in the service position.
