INSTALLATION SUMMARY - 12 STEPS
Step 1:
Locate the following: Main Water Supply Line, Drain Access, Electrical Outlet and Clearances.
Step 2:
Check the incoming Water Pressure. Install a pressure regulator (PRV) if the water pressure ex-
ceeds or can surge above 75 PSI.
Step 3:
Place the tank where you want to install the unit, making sure the tank is level and on a firm base,
noting the clearances necessary to complete the installation. Can go anywhere, see details.
Step 4:
Since handling and moving the unit may loosen the valve head - make sure to Check and Tighten
Valve Head on the Tank. Hand Tighten the Valve Head in a Clockwise Direction. Make sure tank
cover, if applicable does not interfere or cut into the connection.
Step 5:
Identify Water Main Supply and plumb inlet (supply) and outlet (filtered) into the unit following the
directional arrows molded onto the valve body. Plumb the unit with the bypass and the male yoke
included, or for larger valved units, a bypass must be plumbed. Do not cross-connect or plumb
backwards. See detailed installation schematics and the helpful information in this manual.
Step 6:
Connect a backwash drain line (1/2" or 3/4") based on application and an air gap.
Step 7:
Partially Open Inlet Valve Only. Fill Tank Slowly. Once tank is filled, completely open inlet valve.
Keep outlet valve closed. (Larger valved units, keep plumbed bypass valve closed).
Step 8:
Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Be sure the outlet is dedicated and unswitched.
An outlet that cannot be turned "on" or "off."
Step 9:
Set the time of day on the valve display.
Step 10:
Backwash and Flush the system properly until the drain water runs clear.
Step 11:
Open Outlet Valve slowly (Larger valved units, keep plumbed bypass valve closed).
Step 12:
Run hot/cold water throughout the home (at every tap) to flush pipes and water heaters to
prepare unit for usage. You are done.
