Installation
To allow for filter servicing, swimming pool filling or lawn sprinkling, a manual Bypass Valve has been installed at the
factory. The Bypass allows raw water to be manually routed around the filter.
1. Position filter at desired location for installation. If a water softener is to be installed, the filter should be positioned first
and then the softener. (See Installation Diagrams.)
2. The filter material is shipped separately from the mineral tank. The tank must be loaded with material after tank has
been placed at the desired location.
A. Remove the control valve by unscrewing from the tank. (Do not fill through dome hole, if installed.)
B. Use cap provided to place over top of distributor tube to prevent material from entering tube while filling.
C. Place media funnel (part # U-1006) in hole on top of tank.
D. Pour several gallons of water in the tank. (Fill tank about 1/3 full.)
E. Pour in the required filter media. No gravel is required. The required quantity of media is listed in the filter
specifications.
Note: If rebedding an existing unit and the system utilizes a standard tube & basket style distributor, a
"D" gravel underbedding will be required.
F. After filling the tank with material, use a garden hose or several buckets to fill the tank with water.
This will permit the filtering media to become soaked while preparing the installation and will prevent the control
valve from being plugged with floating material on initial backwash.
G. Remove funnel and clean filter media from tank threads.
H. Remove cap from distributor tube.
I. Replace control valve on mineral tank. Do not use Teflon tape or paste on valve threads, as the valve to
tank o-ring seals this joint.
Caution: Be extremely careful to position distributor tube into control valve distributor tube pilot hole.
3. Turn OFF main water supply and OPEN nearest faucet to relieve pressure.
4. Cut main line and install appropriate elbows and extensions.
Caution: Raised arrows located on the sides of control valve body and bypass valve indicate proper direction of water
flow. Install inlet and outlet piping in direction of arrows. It is recommended that a vacuum breaker be
installed on the inlet plumbing.
