BACKFLUSH CONTROLLER INSTALLATION:
• Refer to the controller’s handbook for installation instructions.
• Make sure that the voltage of both the solenoid unit and controller are correct.
• Set the backfl ush controller switch to “RUN”.
• Check that the PD hydraulic switch HIGH and LOW pressure lines are correctly connected to the appropriate
ports. The high pressure sensing port is found on the last backfl ush valve. The low pressure sensing port is found
on the downstream outlet manifold.
• Set the starting backfl ush point on the PD switch to: 5 psi differential when fl ushing at 30 psi
7 psi differential when fl ushing at 40 psi or greater
• Set the controller to a fl ush time of 20 seconds and a dwell time of 10 seconds. These settings may require
adjustment to conform to local water conditions. Typically, a 2 to 4 hour interval between backfl ushes is
recommended.
