Water Purifi cation System Start-Up
1. Close shut-off valve ahead of the pre-fi lter.
2. Set the carbon fi lter (red handle) by-pass
valve to by-pass position.
3. Turn the black manual regeneration knob
(rotate clockwise one click from the service
position) on the carbon fi lter control head
to the backwash position. Make sure the
carbon fi lter is plugged into a 120V outlet.
Now slowly turn the red by-pass valve handle
located at the back of the carbon fi lter to the
service position to bleed air from tank. Do not
rapidly open this valve. Leave valve partially
open until the air has been bled from the tank.
Then fully open the valve.
4. Backwash the carbon fi lter for at least 15
minutes after air has been bled from the
tank and until the backwash is clear of black
carbon fi nes.
5. Return the carbon fi lter control head back
to the service position by rotating the black
manual backwash knob clockwise around to
the service position.
6. Set time of day on the control valve on the
carbon fi lter by depressing the red button and
aligning the 24 hour gear to the current time.
7. On the skipper wheel, pull every third tab
outward (i.e. #1, 4, 7 and 10). This will
backwash the carbon fi lter every three days.
8. Open the shut-off valve ahead of the pre-fi lter.
9. With RO system in the OFF position and
all plumbing and electrical connections
completed, rotate the input solenoid valve
lever to manually open the inlet solenoid
valve. The word “ON” should be visible.
10. Leave the valve open until air is purged from
the system, letting pressure build up to set
the low pressure switch.
11. Check feed water connections for any leaks.
