Installation Instructions - First Sales OXY2-10 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

STEP 1: If media is already loaded in filter tank proceed to Step 4. Otherwise, place red pipe cap (if
provided) or a piece of tape over the end of the distributor tube to prevent media from entering
the distributor tube during media filling. Make sure the distributor tube is centered and not
suspended off the bottom of the tank by gravel (pre-loaded).
STEP 2: Use the fill funnel provided and add the provided media to the filter tank. Do not overfill the
tank. At least 14" of freeboard (empty space) is required at the top of the media tank to allow
for proper bed expansion during backwash.
STEP 3: Clean any media out of the tank threads and remove pipe cap or tape from distributor tube.
STEP 4: If the control valve is already installed on the filter tank; unscrew the control valve. Using a
garden hose or bucket and media funnel; fill the mineral tank with water to allow the media
time to saturate.
STEP 5: Make sure control valve pilot tube and tank thread o-rings are lubricated with silicone lubricant
and screw the control valve onto the filter tank.
STEP 6: Shut off water at main supply. Relieve pressure by opening nearest faucet. On private well
systems, turn off power to pump and drain pressure tank. SHUT OFF POWER OR FUEL
SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER.
STEP 7: Cut main supply line as required to fit plumbing to inlet and outlet of bypass valve. DO NOT
PLUMB INLET AND OUTLET BACKWARDS. Piping should support control valve in an
upright position. Do not apply heat to any fitting attached to the bypass or control valve.
STEP 8: Use the provided drain line tubing (NO VINYL TUBING) to run drain line from control valve
discharge fitting to floor drain or sump pit capable of handling the backwash rate of the filter
(refer to specifications and flow rate on page 12). DISCHARGE END OF THE DRAIN LINE
MUST BE FIRMLY SECURED! Failure to properly secure the drain line will result in the drain
line "whipping" and possibly flooding the area causing water damage. There must be an air
gap at the end of the drain line to prevent siphoning of waste water and meet plumbing code.
Total length of drain line should be 15' or less. AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS.
