INSTALL VALVE DRAIN HOSE

1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8"
drain line (provided) to the Central Water Filtration
System valve drain fitting (See Figure 4). Use a
hose clamp to hold the hose in place.
NOTE: If codes require a rigid drain line see "Valve
Drain requirements" section.
2. Run the drain hose or copper tubing to the floor
drain. Secure drain hose. This will prevent the
drain line from "whipping'' during Clean Rinse
cycles. See "Air Gap Requirements" section.

TEST FOR LEAKS

1. Make sure the single bypass valve (or 3 valve
bypass, if installed) is in the bypass position, with
the handle pushed in (See Figure 2).
2. Fully open the main water supply valve.
3. Briefly open a faucet in the house to refill the plumb-
ing with water.
4. Slowly move the bypass valve(s) to the normal
operation position, pausing several times to allow
the unit to pressurize slowly (See Figure 2).
5. Check for leaks at all the plumbing connections you
made.
IMPORTANT: Start up procedure must be run prior to
using any filtered water. Follow the
instructions below and on Page 7.
TURN ON THE CENTRAL WATER FILTRA-
TION SYSTEM
During installation, the Central Water Filtration System
wiring may be moved or jostled from place. Check to
be sure all leadwire connectors are secure on the back
of the electronic board and be sure all wiring is away
from the valve gear and motor area, which rotates dur-
ing Clean Rinse cycles.
1. Plug the Central Water Filtration System's power
supply into an electrical outlet that is not controlled
by a switch.
2. In the display, the words "PRESENT TIME" appear
and 12:00 PM begins to flash. Set the clock accord-
ing to the "Set Time of Day" section on Page 7.
3. Run the start up procedure, as detailed on Page 7.
