Start up Procedure
Important
Run the start up cycle immediately after
completing installation, before using
any water in the home.
The filtration media in this Central Water Filtration System
contains a small number of harmless activated carbon
particles generated during shipping that are small enough
to exit the system with water flow. It is normal for these
particles to cause a temporary discolouration of the water
coming out of the system. To avoid discoloured water at
your home’s taps the system’s start up cycle should be
initiated to rinse the particles and any discoloured water
down the drain.
If the Central Water Filtration System is used without first
running the start up cycle, you will notice that the water
will temporarily have a grey colour until the particles have
exited the system.
To Initiate the start up cycle:
1. Make sure the drain hose is attached to the Central
Water Filtration System and the other end is secured
over a drain.
2. Make sure bypass valve is in the “service” (open or
filtered water) position and the home’s water supply is
turned on.
3. Press and hold the CLEAN button to initiate the start up
cycle. The button can be released when you hear the
valve changing position and “RECHARGE NOW”
flashes in the display.
During the start up cycle:
Throughout the start up cycle you will hear the valve
changing position and notice the flow of water to drain
starting and stopping. The start up cycle will take
approximately 20 minutes. Avoid using water during this
time. Do not set the time of day or press other buttons
during the start up cycle, as this will interrupt the start up
cycle. Do not unplug the transformer during the start up
cycle. If the start up cycle is interrupted, it should be
initiated again and allowed to run to completion.
After the start up cycle:
Once the start up procedure completes successfully, it
cannot be initiated a second time. The Central Water
Filtration System will automatically return to the normal
operation position. Once the start up cycle has run, a
tap in the home should be opened and water allowed to
run for 10 minutes at the system’s rated flow. If, after
running the start up cycle, the water still appears
discoloured, manually run Clean Rinse cycles (See Page 9)
until the water is clear.
If the time of day was not set before the start up cycle, set
it now (See Page 7).
Check the new plumbing connections and joints once
more for leaks.
