STEP 9:
Cut main supply line as required to fit plumbing to inlet and outlet of bypass valve.
STEP 10:
Attach plumbing. DO NOT apply heat to any fitting connected to bypass valve or control valve,
as damage may result to internal parts or connecting adapters. MAKE CERTAIN WATER
ENTERS THROUGH INLET AND DISCHARGES THROUGH OUTLET (See figure 2).
STEP 11:
Use the provided polyethylene 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 14). There must be an air gap at the end of the
drain line to prevent siphoning of waste water. Length of drain line should be 15' or less.
AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS.
MAKE SURE THE BYPASS VALVE IS IN THE "BYPASS" POSITION (Figure 4, Page 5)
STEP 12:
and open the main supply valve or turn on power to the pump on private well systems.
STEP 13:
For the NBW Series rotate the Manual Regeneration Knob (see Fig. 5, page 7) to the
"Backwash" position.
For the NEBW Series plug transformer into an un-switched electrical outlet and attached the
power cord to the control valve. Then press and hold down the center "ADVANCE" button for 5
seconds and release after "GO TO BW" appears on the screen (see Figure 6, page 8). When
the valve stops in backwash position, unplug the transformer from the electrical outlet.
STEP 14:
Refer to Figure 4 on page 5 for appropriate bypass valve operation. Rotate bypass lever of
stainless steel bypass ¼ of the way to Service allowing unit to fill slowly. IMPORTANT:
Activated Carbon, Filter Ag and Birm must be soaked for at least 2 hours prior to
submitting it to full flow rate to prevent loss of media to drain.
When all air has been purged from the system and only water is running to the drain, fully open
bypass valve to the "Service" position and allow the NBW/NEBW to backwash for 10 minutes
or until the water runs clear (whichever is longer).
STEP 15:
Plug the softener into an un-switched electrical outlet and allow the unit to complete
regeneration automatically.
STEP 18:
Check for leaks and correct as necessary.
STEP 19:
Turn power or fuel supply back on to water heater.
STEP 20:
Set the regeneration frequency (refer to timer operation for instruction on page 5 for NBW
Series). The NEBW units determine frequency base on gallons used.
STEP 21:
Set the current time of day on the timer (note AM and PM) (refer to Figure 5, page 7 or Figure
6, page 8).
RECOMMENDED: Retain the red distributor cap and blue media funnel for future replenishment of filter media.
NOTE: If the filter is loaded with any self-sacrificing media like Calcite or Neutralizer, mark the media
level on the side of the tank by shining a bright light through the tank to see its level. Replenish the
media in the mineral tank when the level drops by more than three inches.
