Normal Start Up Using the Auto Run Button

If the system contains preservative or cleaning chemicals follow the directions for New System Startup or Membrane damage will occur!

•Press Auto Run button once and the system will prime and run for 1 hour. The display reads “AUTO RUN MODE” then “STARTING” with a 30 second priming countdown timer. Af- ter the prime, the display reads “AUTO RUN MODE” with a countdown timer. An hour of run time is added, up to 12 hours, with each successive momentary press of the Auto Run button. An hour can be added at any time. The display shows the default readout unless there is an alarm condition. Successive presses of the Alarm/Display button will scroll through the displays starting with “GPH PRODUCT.” Upon auto shut down by the timer or by the optional tank full float switches, the system will automatically fresh water flush and re-flush every 5 days.

•Pressing the Stop button stops the sequence at any time with no flushes.

•For optimum performance, Auto run the system as long as possible at one time. Never let the system sit with salt water in it. Never allow continuous air leaks in the intake.

Normal Shut Down

•If the system was started using the Auto Run button, the system will shut off on its own when the selected run time is over and will auto flush every 5 days.

• Pressing the Stop button at any time will shut off the system with no auto flush function.

•The optional tank float switches will shut off the system from any mode. If the system was started by the Auto Run button the system will flush and then re-flush every 5 days. If the system was started by the Start/Stop button it will do a 1 time flush. The display will read “TANK/S FULL.” Once one of the tank float switches opens, the alarm and “TANK/S FULL” display will cease on its own. Note that if “TANK/S FULL” is displayed, the sys- tem cannot be restarted.
