Start-Up – Bypass Installed
Programming is already pre-set, now that installation is completed you are ready to start the
system (if required).
(If no bypass is installed, refer to Page 12)
1. Ensure the flush valve and TankSafe suction line valve are closed (see Page 6 for
identification). Place the bypass valve into bypass operation (Page 11). Turn the water on
slowly and run the water to the nearest tap downstream (after the filter system). This will flush
out the pipework, however will not enter the UF System. Check for any leaks in the plumbing.
2. Press and hold the UP and DOWN arrows simultaneously and release when the valve goes
into backwash, ‘C1’ will be flashing on the display to indicate when the unit is in backwash.
3. Press the DOWN arrow to advance the valve to the TankSafe draw cycle (valve will display
‘C2’). Press the DOWN arrow a second time to advance the valve to the rinse cycle (valve
will display ‘C4’). Slowly open the inlet of the bypass valve halfway into the diagnostic mode
(Page 9), this will allow water to enter the UF vessel and purge the air to the drain.
4. Once the UF vessel is full, water will start flowing out the drain. Now open the inlet valve
completely into the diagnostic mode (Page 11) and allow water to drain for 20 minutes. This
will allow for a complete flush of the system, and any preservatives used in the manufacturing
process.
5. The valve will return to the normal service position after 20 minutes.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 with the bypass in diagnostic mode (Page 11), this will dispel any excess
air from the system. Proceed to the next step when all the air has been purged by pressing the
DOWN arrow a third time to advance the valve to the refill cycle (valve will display ‘C5’) and
then press the DOWN arrow a final time to end the backwash (valve will display ‘C0’) Note: it
is not necessary to flush the system for 20 minutes as per step 3.
7. Once the valve is in the normal service position, open the outlet of the bypass into the
normal operation (page 11).
8. Open the nearest tap downstream of the filter system (after the filter system). Flush the
system until the water is clear.
9. Close the opened tap and check for leaks.
10. Your system is ready for use.
