7. FLUSH PIPES, CIRCULATE DISINFEC-
TANT, EXPEL AIR FROM FILTER, AND
TEST YOUR INSTALLATION FOR LEAKS
CAUTION:
To avoid water or air pressure damage to
filter inner parts, be sure to do the following
steps exactly as listed:
a
. Fully open two cold, filtered water faucets nearby
the filter.
b
. Place bypass valve(s) into “bypass” position. On a
single valve, slide the stem inward to BYPASS (See
Fig. 4 on page 6). On a 3 valve system, close the
inlet and outlet valves, and open the bypass valve
(See Fig. 3 on page 6).
c
. Fully open the house main water pipe shutoff valve.
Observe a steady flow from both opened faucets.
d
. Place bypass valve(s) into “service”, EXACTLY as
follows. KEEP FILTERED WATER FAUCETS OPEN.
=
Single Bypass Valve:
SLOWLY, pull the valve
stem outward to ”service” position, pausing sev-
eral times to allow the filter to pressurize slowly.
=
3 Valve Bypass:
Fully close the bypass valve
and open the outlet valve. SLOWLY, open the
inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the fil-
ter to pressurize slowly. The sanitizing bleach
also circulates through the filter.
e
. After about three minutes, open a HOT water faucet
for one minute, or until all air is expelled, then close.
f
. Close both cold water faucets.
g
. Check your plumbing work for leaks and, if any are
found, fix right away. Be sure to observe previous
caution notes.
h
. Turn on the gas or electric supply to the water
heater. Light the pilot, if applicable.
8. CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL POWER
The filter works on low voltage electric power. The
included power supply changes standard 120V AC
house power to 24V DC. Plug the power supply into a
120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet. Be sure the outlet is
always “live” so it can not be switched off by mistake.
9. PROGRAM THE TIMER
See pages 10 & 11 for instructions to program the timer.
10. CLEANING / SANITIZING PROCEDURE
a
. About 20 minutes after completing step 6, use the
RECHARGE NOW feature, on the timer, to start an
immediate recharge. Any remaining sanitizing
bleach is drawn through the filter and discharged to
the drain. The backwash and following fast rinse is
over in about 40 minutes.
b
. After the recharge has completed, fully open a cold
water faucet downstream from the filter and allow
50 gallons of water to pass through the filter. This
should take 20 minutes. Close the faucet.
c
. Cleaning/sanitizing process is complete.
