Sediment media and prevent it from fouling or channeling.

After the backwash, the system will automatically go into the fast rinse stage. Both stages
will last for as long as you have programmed that cycle step. The control valve will return to

are complete.

Make sure to backwash and rinse the filter several times to clean up media, repeated
backwash/rinse cycles may be needed when filter is first put on line with new media, to
clean up media and rinse out fines and dust from the naturally mined sediment media.
Congratulations, you are done setting up your valve!
