Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures
The water filter is capable of treating a combination of undesirable constituents (such as iron, dirt, sediment,
and chlorine) in water. See
Specifications
for the capabilities of your appliance. Install, set up, and use the
appliance within the operating limits outlined in this manual. Failure to comply with these specifications may
decrease the effectiveness of the backwash and cause control valve malfunction. The water filter, like any other
appliance, requires correct installation and setting for optimum performance.
Each water treatment appliance includes water test strips, eight feet of drain line, and a drain fitting.
