Installation Instructions

START-UP RINSING PROCEDURE

(BYPASS VALVE IS OPTIONAL)

1 OPEN WATER SUPPLY

With the plumbing, drain line and overflow connections completed, slowly open the water supply, allowing the lines to pressurize.

NOTE: The optional bypass should still be in bypass mode as shown.

2 ADVANCE THE CONTROL VALVE

With the transformer unplugged, manually advance the control valve by depressing the drive gear and rotating the main system gear to the purge position (see Step 4).

3 PURGE THE SYSTEM

Slowly open the inlet valve (only) on the bypass valve to the half-opened position, allowing the system to pressurize. It is normal to hear air blowing to the drain during this procedure.

Once the air clears and water begins to run to

the drain, open the inlet valve (only) to the full open position and allow the water to run to the drain in purge for a minimum of 20 minutes.

4 RUN THE WATER

After the 20-minute purge cycle, manually advance the main gear to the backwash cycle and allow to run for a minimum of 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes during the backwash cycle, open both the inlet and outlet valves on the bypass to the fully opened position.

NOTE: When advancing the main gear manually while under water pressure, it is normal for the gear to encounter resistance as the valve chambers depressurize. If resistance occurs, pause five seconds to allow the valve to depressurize

before advancing to the next step.

Advance the gear in the counterclockwise direction only. Damage will occur if advanced in the opposite direction.

5 FILL BRINE TANK

After the ten-minute backwash cycle, manually advance the control valve to the brine refill position for ten minutes, allowing water to flow into the brine storage tank.

Once water begins to flow into the tank, fill the brine tank with a minimum of 80 lbs. of salt pellets.
