Start Up Procedure

IMPORTANT:

The filtration media in this Central Water Filtration System contains a small number of particles generated during manufacturing and shipping that are small enough to exit the system with water flow. It is normal for these particles to cause a temporary discoloration of the water coming out of the system. To avoid dis- colored water at your home’s faucets the system’s start up cycle should be initiated to rinse the particles and any discolored water down the drain.

If the Central Water Filtration System is used without first running the start up cycle, you will notice that the water will temporarily have a gray color until the parti- cles have exited the system.

To Initiate the start up cycle:

1.Make sure the drain hose is attached to the Central Water Filtration System and the other end is secured over a drain (see “Install Valve Drain Hose”).

2.Make sure bypass valve is in the “service” (open or filtered water) position and the home’s water supply is turned on.

3.Press and hold the CLEAN button to initiate the start up cycle. The button can be released when you hear the valve changing position and “RECHARGE NOW” flashes in the display.

During the start up cycle:

Throughout the start up cycle you will hear the valve changing position and notice the flow of water to drain starting and stopping. The start up cycle will take approximately 20 minutes. Avoid using water during this time. Do not set the time of day or press other buttons during the start up cycle, as this will interrupt it. Do not unplug the transformer during the start up cycle. If the start up cycle is interrupted, it should be initiated again and allowed to run to completion.

After the start up cycle:

Once the start up procedure completes successfully, it cannot be initiated a second time. The Central Water Filtration System will automatically return to the normal operation position and be ready for use. If, after run- ning the start up cycle, the water still appears discol- ored, manually run Clean Rinse cycles (See Page 15) until the water is clear.

If the time of day was not set before the start up cycle, set it now (See Page 14).

Check the new plumbing connections and joints once more for leaks.
