Look at the picture in Figure 13 showing your kind of by- pass valve(s).

1.Fully open two cold, filtered water faucets nearby the filter.

2.Place bypass valve(s) in "bypass" position. On a single valve, slide the stem into BYPASS. On a three valve system, close the inlet and outlet valves and open the by- pass valve.

3.Fully open the house main water pipe shut off valve. Observe steady water flow from both open faucets.

4.Place bypass valve(s) in "Service", EXACTLY as fol- lows. KEEP FILTERED WATER FAUCETS OPEN.

a.SINGLE BYPASS VALVE: SLOWLY slide the valve

stem towards "Service", pausing several times to allow the filter to pressurize slowly.

b.THREE VALVE BYPASS: Fully close the bypass valve and open the outlet valve. SLOWLY open the inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the filter to pressurize slowly.

5.AFTER ABOUT THREE MINUTES, OPEN A HOT WATER FAUCET FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE, OR UN-
