Troubleshooting

CLEANING THE SEDIMENT FILTER SCREEN

This procedure is not required if the Central Water Filtration System is operating normally. It should be performed only if a problem with low water pressure at household faucets is encountered, as detailed in the troubleshooting table on page 18.

1.Press and hold the CLEAN button for a few sec- onds, until “RECHARGE NOW” begins to flash in the display.

2.When water begins to flow from the valve drain hose, place the bypass valve(s) in bypass position (See Figure 11 on Page 12).

IMPORTANT: Be sure to do Steps 1 and 2, as instruct- ed, to relieve water pressure in the tank.

3.	Unplug the transformer from the wall electrical out-
	let.
4.	Remove the cover and hang it from the post on
	front of rim (See Figure 9 on Page 10).
5.	Pull the two clips at the inlet and outlet fittings.
	Slide the adaptors, or bypass valve, from the
	Central Water Filtration System valve.
6.	Remove the clamp retainers (2) and clamp sections
	(2) that hold the valve to the tank (See Figure 25).
	Lift upward to remove the valve.
7.	Remove the small o-ring (See Figure 26).
8.	Remove the screen from the top distributor. Rinse
	off the screen.
9.	Use water to flush the tank top opening. Then,
	replace the top distributor and o-ring. Be sure to
	located o-ring seal correctly (See Figure 26).

10.	Install the valve assembly and retaining clamps.
	Double check to be sure clamps and retainers are
	securely fastened in place.
11. Referring to the installation instructions, reconnect
	the Central Water Filtration System to the plumb-
	ing. Be sure the plumbing is held firmly in place in
	the valve inlet and outlet.
12.	Return the plumbing bypass valve(s) to normal
	operating position (non-bypass).
13.	Plug the transformer back into the wall electrical
	outlet. The Central Water Filtration System will
	complete the Clean Rinse cycle initiated in Step 1,
	and will automatically return to normal operation.
