STARTUP - 360
The system will now need to be placed into operation. Please
review "INITIATING A CLEANING CYCLE" on page 7 before
attempting startup.
1. With the supply water for the system still turned off,
position the bypass valve to the “not in bypass” (normal
operation) position.
2. Turn the control knob counter-clockwise until the indicator
arrow on the valve body is lined up with "1" on the control
knob to start a cleaning cycle. The system will be in
backwash.
3. Filling the media tank with water:
A. With the system in backwash, open the water supply
valve very slowly to approximately the 1/4 open position.
Water will begin to enter the media tank. Air will begin
to be purged to drain as the media tank fills with water.
WARNING:
If opened too rapidly or too far, media may
be lost out of the tank into the valve or the
plumbing. In the 1/4 open position, you should
hear air slowly escaping from the valve drain
line.
B. When all of the air has been purged from the media
tank (water begins to flow steadily from the drain line),
open the main supply valve all of the way. This will purge
the final air from the tank.
C. Allow water to run to drain until the water runs clear
from the drain line. This purges any debris from the
media bed.
D. Turn off the water supply and let the system stand for
above five minutes to allow any trapped air to escape
from the media tank. Turn on the water supply after five
minutes.
4. Return the system to normal operation by turning the
control knob counter-clockwise until the indicator arrow is
lined up with "0" on the control knob.
The system is now fully operational.
