STEP 8:
Apply thread tape to DLFC Assembly. Remove drain line flow control (DLFC) retainer clip
(Figure 6, Page 6) and remove the DLFC assembly from the valve body, (Figure 6, Page 6).
Unscrew drain line elbow from DLFC. Apply thread tape to threads and re-attach the barbed
drain line elbow (not shown). Reinsert DLFC assembly into the valve body, making certain it is
FULLY inserted before replacing the retaining clip.
STEP 9:
Install drain line (included). Use polyethylene tubing provided (NO VINLY TUBING) to run
drain line from control valve to floor drain, laundry drain or sump pit capable of handling the
backwash rate of the filter (refer to specifications and flow rate on page 16) or discard the
barbed fitting and use ¾" NPT fitting to connect a rigid pipe drain line (recommended). If
backwash flow rate is greater than 7 gpm or drain line length exceeds 15', use ¾" rigid pipe for
drain line. There must be an air gap at the end of the drain line to prevent siphoning of waste
water. AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS AND DRAIN LINE LONGER THAN 15'.
MAKE SURE THE BYPASS VALVE IS IN THE "BYPASS" POSITION (Figure3, Page 5)
STEP 10:
NOTE: the INLET and OUTLET knobs turn clockwise to close the port to the softener and
counter-clockwise to open the port to the softener. Open the main supply valve or turn on
power to the pump on private well systems. Check for leaks and correct as needed
STEP 11:
Pressurize the filter. Gradually turn the INLET side knob of the bypass valve counter-
clockwise ONLY ½ way (45 degrees) to the "Service" position (Figure 2, Page 5) allowing unit
to pressurize slowly. Check for leaks and correct as needed
STEP 12:
Program control valve. Plug the transformer of the control valve into an uninterrupted
electrical outlet (not wired to a switch) and use the buttons on the front of the control valve to
adjust the initial settings:
