Detailed Steps to Starting Up Neutralizer Filter System

1 First, if days remaining is not already at 1, press and hold the Set/Change button.
2 Next press and hold the Set/Change button, until the valve begins the backwash cycle and
the display reads 1 [1‐ 10]. This is the first cycle that starts a backwash.
3 Start to put the valve into the service position by turning the inlet bypass knob counter‐
clockwise about a quarter inch, until you can hear water passing through the bypass into
the filter. Stop and wait until you see water coming out of the drain line. It will often be
mixed with air bubbles.
4 When you do not see bubbles anymore, keep opening the valve, a little bit at a time,
stopping for a minute or two each time to bleed air out of system.
5 After several minutes, you should have the valve fully open, and with no media coming out.
The water will be black, turning to gray, mostly clear water‐ the water does not get crystal
clear in the Backwash mode (only at the end of Rapid Rinse and during Service).
6 After the backwash cycle, the filter will go into a rest for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the
next cycle, the Rinse cycle will start.
7 NOTE: To skip to the next cycle or fast forward past Rest or other cycles, hold down
Set/Change button for 3 seconds.
8 Let the unit do the Rapid Rinse cycle and advance to the "Service" position.
9 Repeat Step 1 and start up another backwash, rest, rinse sequence. You may need to
backwash the filter 2 or 3 times to thoroughly clean up the filter media.
10 Next, open the outlet on the bypass valve and then open the nearest treated water faucet
to the unit and allow the water to run until it is clear. We advise using a bathtub, laundry
sink, or other fixture that does not have an aerator screen as any remaining residue may get
caught in the screen. Run the water in the home for 10 minutes or more to flush pipes.
Congratulations, you are done starting up your filter system!
