CWS Plus Sediment Filter Installation & Startup Guide
Any time that you are in the Backwash or Rapid Rinse position, you may need to unplug the power- this
will hold the valve in its current position, so it doesn't 'time out' and go to the next position. When you
plug the valve back in, after a minute it will return to where it was when you unplugged it (i.e. 2:32
remaining in BW). Understand, it is not possible to jam media into the head while in Rapid Rinse, or
Service, just in the Backwash, when the flow direction is reversed.
What you are trying to accomplish, after you have pushed the media back in to the tank in the Rapid
Rinse position, is to get the Inlet valve all the way open in the Backwash position, without it jamming
media back in the head, and this is the part where you have to go slow, open up the Inlet valve a little
bit at a time and let it run for a few minutes- this is why you may have to unplug it- and then, once you
have done that, finally, do one more backwash, starting with the Inlet valve open, just as it will be when
it does it automatically at night. Once it does that successfully, you are done.
