Step 1
a) Remove cardboard die-cut from media tank.
b) Remove valve assembly from cardboard die-cut and set aside.
c) Remove distributor tube from media tank and set aside.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritation from gravel and fi lter media during installation:
• Gravel and several types of fi lter media may be used in this product, depending upon the application. During installation, dust may cause irritation to skin,
eyes, and respiratory tract.
• Utilize a NIOSH-approved dust fi lter mask, protective gloves, and appropriate eye protection when handling and pouring gravel and fi lter media.
• To request an MSDS relating to this product, call 203-238-8965 or go to www.3M.com, select country, and use the search engine to search MSDS. For
emergencies, call 800-364-3577 or 651-737-6501 (24 hours).
d) Using a clean pail, pour the gravel from the media tank into the pail.
e) Next, ensure the distributor tube is covered with the centering tool provided. Reinstall the distributor tube into the dimple located at the base of the
media tank. Add the gravel back to the media tank, gently rock the media tank to ensure the gravel under-bed is evenly distributed.
f) Locate fi lter media and add the required amount up to the indicator line on the media tank, move the media tank to approximate fi nal installation
location. Using a clean pail or water hose, fi ll the media tank with water to the opening to expel any air pockets.
g) Using a clean rag, clean the opening of the media tank to ensure all dust or media particles are removed from the media tank opening. Locate and
install the control valve into the opening of the media tank and secure the valve assembly by rotating to the right or clockwise until valve head as-
sembly is seated to the tank hand tight.
h) Assemble and attach bypass valve to the control valve. See Figure 2 if needed. Arrows can be viewed on the bypass valve to confi rm the correct fl ow
path. At this time make certain the bypass valve is in the bypass position and leave in that position until instructed to place in the service position.
Refer to Figure 2 for proper operation.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines:
• Pay particular attention to correct orientation of control valve. Water fl ow should match arrow on control valve. The Inlet and Outlet of other water
treatment equipment products will vary depending on the control valve brand used.
Step 2
Shut off all water at main supply. On a private well system, turn off power to pump and
drain pressure tank. Make certain pressure is relieved from complete system by open-
ing nearest faucet to drain system. If an electric water heater is being used, ensure that
power to the unit is shut off. Close the inlet/outlet isolation valves on all water heaters
to prevent the drainage of the water heater.
Step 3
Determine location and cut the water line on the supply side of the pressure tank as
required to fi t the plumbing to the control valve connection fi ttings. You may want to in-
stall a separate three valve bypass prior to the control valve in case the supplied bypass
valve requires maintenance in order to provide undisturbed water use.
Step 4
Attach plumbing. Make certain water fl ow enters through inlet and discharges through
outlet.
CAUTION CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Do not use torches or other heat sources near plastic plumbing, as damage may occur.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur.
• On plastic fi ttings, use thread sealing tape only. Never use pipe sealant or pipe dope on plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur.
