Step 8
The drain line connection can utilize either a 3/4” NPT or a 5/8” COMPRESSION connection. To utilize
the 5/8” connection use the provided nut and insert sleeve with a 5/8” OD rigid or semi-rigid material.
Slide the nut over the tubing or piping fi rst, and then insert the sleeve into the piping or tubing until
fl ush. Finally insert piping or tubing in the drain elbow and thread the nut onto the elbow and hand
tighten only. To utilize the 3/4” NPT feature for a drain line connection, remove the 5/8” nut from the
elbow and provide your own connection device and piping for a drain line. Ensure the retaining clip is
securely in place before moving on. The discharge end of the drain line requires an air gap to prevent
a cross connection between grey water (sewage) and potable water (domestic). Refer to Figure 6 to
help with the installation.
a. 5/8” ID lengths up to 15 feet and heights lower or slightly higher than the control valve.
b. 3/4” ID length up to 25 feet in length and up to 4 feet above the control valve.
c. For distances higher or longer than previously stated, relocate the fi lter closer to the desired dis-
charge point or consult factory for advice. Avoid overhead drain lines as it may prevent desirable
performance.
Step 9
Connect the transformer to a suitable power supply that is non-switched to plug the transformer into that meets the local electrical code. The required
power source is 110V 60Hz.
Step 10
Set the time clock for the correct time of day and set the frequency for regeneration appropriately. See “HOW TO SET TIME OF DAY” on page 3-7 for set-
ting the time of day correctly.
Step 11
Determine proper backwashing frequency (See Section 4: Backwashing Instructions, page 4-1). To change the number of days between regenerations
see “HOW TO CHANGE DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATION” on page 3-8.
Step 12
Turn on the power supply to the well pump or open the valve in the water line to pressurize the water system. Check for leaks, correct as required. Locate
the regeneration button on the control valve and initiate a manual regeneration (see “HOW TO MANUALLY INITIATE IMMEDIATE REGENERATION”, shown
on page 3-7), ensure the bypass valve is in the bypass position. Once the control valve stops in the fi rst position, unplug control valve so the valve will
not stage to another position to ensure proper start up and media classifi cation. Open the INLET side of bypass 1/4 turn to allow water to run slowly to
the waste drain until no air is heard in the drain line. Then slowly open the inlet side of bypass fully and let run until the waste water is clear, it should
take about 10 minutes. Then open the OUTLET side of the bypass into the fully open position. During the initial backwash cycle it is normal for a small
amount of “fi nes” to appear at the drain for proper preparation of media bed. It will subside within a few regeneration cycles and should not alarm you.
Step 13
Plug the control valve into the 110V/60Hz power source once again and ensure the time clock is properly set for time and frequency of regeneration. The
control valve will stage by itself and back to the service position.
Installation is complete and system is ready for use.
