Installation

INSTALL VALVE DRAIN HOSE

SINGLE BYPASS VALVE

1.Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8" drain line (provided) to the Central Water Filtration System valve drain fitting. Use a hose clamp to hold the hose in place.

NOTE: If codes require a rigid drain line see “Valve

Drain requirements" section.

2. Run the drain hose or copper tubing to the floor drain. Secure drain hose. This will prevent the drain line from “whipping'' during Clean Rinse cycles. See “Air Gap Requirements" section.

TEST FOR LEAKS

1.Place the single bypass valve (or 3 valve bypass, if installed) in normal operation (non-"bypass") position. See "Plan The Installation" section.

2.Fully open the main water supply valve.

3.Check for leaks at all the plumbing connections you made.

IMPORTANT: Start up procedure must be run prior to using any filtered water. Follow the instructions below and on Page 13.

TION SYSTEM

1.Plug the Central Water Filtration System into an elec- trical outlet that is not controlled by a switch.

2.The display should begin flashing 12:00 PM and “PRESENT TIME.” Set the clock according to the “Set Time of Day” section on Page 14.
