Page 2 The brain of your MicroTurb™ system is the Fleck 5810XTR2 control valve. It is manufactured by one of the world’s premier water treatment companies. The Fleck 5810 control valve is well respected for its reliability, serviceability, simple operation, and value.

Page 4: General Warnings
GENERAL WARNINGS Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the water filter. Do not install or store this filter system where it will be exposed to freezing temperatures. Do not tamper with controls. Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the system unless specifically instructed to in this manual and you have the understanding, tools, and skills necessary to carry out the procedure.
Page 5: Operating Conditions
Range 5.0*** to 9.0 * While the MicroTurb™ system is built to withstand pressures exceeding 90 PSI, if your water pressure is greater than 70 PSI, we recommend that you have a certified plumber install a pressure reducing valve ahead of the MicroTurb™ system.

Page 7: Step 1 – Pre-Installation Inspection
Step 1. – Pre-Installation Inspection Inspect all of the components that you received with your unit. You should have received the following: 1. Fleck 5810 XTR2 Control Valve 2. Media Tank 3. Upper Screen 4. Bypass Assembly w/ Bypass Valve and 1”...
Page 8 IF YOU HAVE OTHER WATER TREATMENT EQUIPMENT, YOU SHOULD DISCUSS THE ORDER OF YOUR TREATMENT EQUIPMENT WITH YOUR DEALER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. Select a location for installation of your water filter that is within close proximity to the main incoming water line of the home. The location should have a firm, level surface with enough space for the unit itself and sufficient space surrounding the unit to facilitate maintenance.
Page 9: Step 3 – Prepare Treatment Tank
Step 3. – Prepare Treatment Tank Two types of media are supplied with your MicroTurb™ system: gravel which forms the base layer (underbedding) in your treatment tank, and a specialized sediment/turbidity reduction media called NextSand. Place the tank in the location where it will sit when the installation is complete. Note that the black base of your tank is not permanently attached to the rest of the tank.
Page 10 of the tank. A rigid piece of thin wall tubing (conduit, copper pipe, etc.), approximately 1” longer than the tank height works well as a leveling tool if you need it. Ensure that the riser tube remains centered in the opening at the top of the tank. Once this is complete, add the NextSand media in the same manner.
Page 11: Step 4 – Turn Off The Water & Electric Water Heaters
DO NOT INITIATE A REGENERTION OF THIS SYSTEM FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS AFTER ADDING THE WATER TO ALLOW ADEQUATE PRE-SOAKING. BACKWASHING BEFORE THE MEDIA IS SATURATED MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF MEDIA AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL VALVE. Attach the upper screen to the underside of the control valve.
Page 12: Step 5 – Prepare And Install Inlet And Outlet Plumbing Connection
Turn off the household main water shutoff valve. Open several plumbing fixtures inside the home as well as the outside faucets to drain as much water out of the plumbing system as possible. Following completion of the entire installation, restore the water flow by turning on the household main water valve and allow all air to be purged from the plumbing system before turning the power back on to your water heater.
Page 13 TEFLON® TAPE IS THE ONLY SEALANT TO BE USED ON THE 1” NPT CONNECTOR YOKES AND DRAIN FITTINGS. The system’s control valve is connected to your incoming and outgoing water lines by way of a bypass assembly with 1”NPT threaded fittings. This assembly is composed of the bypass valve and two 1”NPT connector yokes.
Page 14: Step 6 – Drain Line Installation
LOCAL CODES. THE DRAIN LINE SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES. During the backwash cycle, your MicroTurb™ will send captured contaminants out the drain port. This port needs to be connected to a suitable household drain, ideally within 20 feet of your media tank.
Page 15 If in doubt, match the size of your drain line to the thread size of the DLFC on your control valve. MINIMUM Drain Line Diameter: Model 40F Water Temp 70F Water Temp MT-5810XTR2-8-44 3/4" 3/4" MT-5810XTR2-9-48 3/4" 1”...

drain line flow control and pull outward. You may wish to dry-fit the fitting first to make sure you line up the drain line properly with the drain port on the control valve if you are using rigid pipe. Re-insert the DLFC into the control valve and securely lock into place with the retaining clip when done.

In the top left corner of the screen, you will find the current day of the week and time. In the top right corner, there is an indicator that will tell you when the next “regeneration”...
Page 18 Settings: Select this icon to edit the time of day that the flush cycle will occur. Other programming functions can be accessed using this icon, however, it is strongly recommended that you do not change any settings without first discussing with your dealer. Regeneration: Select this icon to schedule a flush cycle to occur immediately or the next time that time of day equals the regeneration (flush) time.
Page 19: Step 8 – Initial Start-Up And Leak Testing
To cancel your changes and return to the home screen, press the “X” icon at any time. Your MicroTurb™ has been pre-programmed to backwash every 5 days or 2,000 gallons (whichever occurs first) and to perform the backwash process at 12:30am in the morning when it is very unlikely that water will be required in the building.
Page 20 When the system returns to service mode, slowly open a nearby cold water tap (after the MicroTurb™ system) and let the water run for 5 to 10 minutes until the system is purged of all air that may have resulted from the installation, and the water is running clear. Repeat for other faucets in the building starting at the highest elevation and working down to the lowest point until all air is purged.
Page 21: Backwash
BACKWASH The backwash process is automatically engaged and controlled by your Fleck 5810XTR2 valve. Your system was pre-programmed at the factory. In most cases, your system will be programmed to backwash every 5 days, or 2,000 gallons (whichever occurs first) at 12:30am. There are 2 steps to the backwash process: Step 1: Backwash: factory pre-set for 10 minutes Step 2: Rapid Rinse: factory pre-set for 3 minutes...

engages, always wait until the motor has stopped before skipping to the next cycle. You can hear the valve motor while it is repositioning the valve at the beginning of each cycle. Once the motor has stopped moving (no more noise), press the REGENERATION ICON again to advance to the rinse stage of the regeneration cycle.
Page 23: Changing Basic Settings
Similarly, touch the grey boxes associated with the month and day and use the arrows to adjust the month and day settings until they are correct. Set the hour, minutes, and PM/AM in the same manner. When you are satisfied that all of the settings are correct, press the CHECKMARK ICON in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Page 24: Diagnostics
To adjust the time of day that the flush cycles will occur, touch “regen. time” and two blue arrows will appear. Touch the arrow on the left to adjust to an earlier time, and the arrow on the right to adjust to a later time. When you are satisfied that all of the settings are correct, press the CHECKMARK ICON in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Page 25 The first screen displays the following diagnostic information: Flow Rate: This is the current flow rate of water through the system in gallons per minute. If water is not running, it will display 0.0 GPM. Peak Flow: This is the highest flow rate in gallons per minute recorded through the system since measurement was last reset.

MASTER SETTINGS MODE THE MASTER PROGRAMMING MODE IS DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. UNLESS DIRECTED BY A WATER TREATMENT PROFESSIONAL FAMILIAR WITH THE SYSTEM, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT MODIFY ANY OF THE MASTER PROGRAMMING MODE SETTINGS To enter the Master Settings Mode, select the SETTINGS ICON from the home screen, then select the SETTINGS ICON again.

Page 28: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
If power fails while the unit is in backwash, the control will save the current valve position before it shuts down. When power is restored, the control will resume the backwash cycle from the point where power failed. Note that if power fails during a backwash cycle, the valve will remain in its current position until power is restored.
