Start Up Your Greensand Filter System

1. Greensand filter media has a lot of black fines or dust, and must be rinsed free by
backwashing and rinse, which may take several backwashes. During the first backwash,
you can unplug the 5900-BT control (system will stay in backwash mode) and allow an
extra 10 minutes of backwashing to clean out the fines, during the initial start-up.
2. MAKE SURE THE SOUCE WATER ENTERS THE INLET PIPING (IN OTHER WORDS, THAT THE
SYSTEM IS PIPED IN CORRECTLY, WITH THE WATER INLET TO THE INLET ON THE BYPASS
VALVE)
3. MAKE SURE THAT BOTH THE INLET AND OUTLET BYPASS VALVES ARE CLOSED INITIALLY
4. MAKE SURE TO CLOSE THE BALL VALVE OR GATE VALVE AFTER THE FILTER SO NO
WATER CAN ENTER THE HOME DURING THIS INITIAL BACKWASH. (If you did not install a
hose bib and gate or ball valve after the system as recommended, be sure to NOT use
any water in the home during the initial start-up.)
5. If you have any filters or softeners installed after the filter system, bypass them until all
media fines have been rinsed.
