Installation and Start-up
1 . Turn off the main water supply to the home and open an inside
faucet to relieve any pressure within the plumbing system, then
close faucet once pressure is released .
2 . Place the system in the desired location . Make sure that the
location is level and sturdy enough to support the weight of the
wetted system .
3 . Place the By-Pass Valve in the service position . See image below
for By-Pass positions .
4 . Connect the cold water supply to the inlet of the system
5 . Install a supply valve (user supplied) in the supply line and close
it .

let port to a drain .
7 . Turn the water back on to the house . Slowly open the supply
valve to the system . Allow the tank to fill with water . The initial
water will come out black due to the carbon fines in the media
bed .
8 . Close the supply valve when a steady stream of clear water
comes out of the outlet port, this could take :05 - :10 minutes .
9 . If the outlet is flowing into a bucket, water could splash on
nearby objects . If this threatens the safety, value, structure or
appearance of these objects, protect/remove them or use out-
let hose to drain option .

the home .
