Whole House Filter Installation Overview
General:
When installing a water softener and a filter together, always install the filter first. Be sure to test the
water since you will need this information to properly program the control valve.
Installation procedures
1.
Locate the main water line, and install the unit before the water heater
and near a 110 volt power source (for automatic models).
2.
Determine where the drain is to be located and install the drain using ¾” or
1” PVC or ½” drain line tubing. If ½” tubing is used do not extend the
length past 15 feet, which may restrict the flow. (Automatic models only.)
No drain needed with non-electric models.
3.
Close inlet and outlet on the valve.
4.
Valves have been programmed. Check settings for your application.
5.
Put the valve into a manual regeneration to make sure the cycles are
functioning correctly. (Press arrow

together and hold for 3
to 5 seconds to go into an immediate manual regeneration.
6.
This will start you up in
backwash.
7.
Open the inlet slowly. Once water runs to drain, open the inlet fully.
8.
Continue backwash until the drain water runs clear.
(This may take some time.)
