CONNECT BACK FLUSH TANK AND OUTLET ASSEMBLIES
1.
Attach the Pressure Tank Assembly (13) to the Wellmate WM-9 Back Flush Pressure Tank
(5) by pushing the adapter into the fitting at the bottom of the tank and securing it with
the blue Back Flush Pressure Tank Connection Clip (6).
2.
Connect the Pressure Tank Tube (16) to the John Guest Elbow on the Pressure Tank
Assembly (13). Hold the Pressure Tank Assembly (13) in your hand when you push the
tube in so that you do not apply pressure on the assembly that may break it.
3.
Connect the bottom of the John Guest tee on the Outlet Assembly (14) to the top of the
Pressure Tank Tube (16). The elbow and 1” NPT threaded fitting should be on top. This is
the final outlet of the system that will be connected to your main outgoing treated water
line. This elbow at the top of the system can be arranged in any orientation that is
convenient by loosening the collet, turning the fitting and then tightening the collet again.
4.
Connect the Outlet Assembly (14) to the outlet side of the Bypass Assembly (2) on the back
of the Control Valve (1) using the threaded adapter.
5.
Ad
just the position of the Back Flush Pressure tank (3) if necessary such that the Pressure
Tank Tube (16) is perfectly vertical and the tee on the Outlet Assembly (14) is directly
above the elbow on the Pressure Tank Assembly (13).
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Check all John Guest fittings to make sure the collet has been tightened and the fitting has been
secured. Check all Asco solenoid valve fittings as well.
Turn off the household main water shutoff valve. Open several plumbing fixtures inside the home
as well as the outside faucets to drain as much water out of the plumbing system as possible.
If you have a conventional electric water heater or an on-demand (tankless) electric water heater,
we highly recommend that you turn off the electricity to the heater while installing any water
treatment equipment. Following completion of the entire installation, restore the water flow by
turning on the household main water valve and allow all air to be purged from the plumbing
system before turning the power back on to your water heater.
Failure to follow this procedure
could result in serious, permanent damage to the heating elements in your water heater.
Plumb the inlet, outlet and drain connections using suitable plumbing pipe/tubing and fittings.
Use only Teflon tape as a sealant on any threads. Do NOT use liquid pipe dope. Be sure to follow
all local plumbing codes.
