INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
*Kinetico Model 4040sOD
Due to the upflow service pattern of this model and the amount of time necessary to fully wet the carbon, it is
recommended that the backwash steps, after the initial purging, be skipped (Steps F through J). They should be
replaced with additional low flow (2 – 3 gpm) service gallons at the downstream tap. This should be done by
controlling the flow rate with the downstream tap and having the inlet supply valve fully open. If at any time a
lock-up, or no flow, situation occurs during this process, it is recommended that the unit be completely
depressurized and then slowly repressurized.
15. VERY IMPORTANT: Where a brine drum overflow could cause damage, install a ½" I.D. overflow line on the
barbed overflow fitting on the drum, and connect it to a drain. Make sure the drain is not higher than the barbed
fitting. FOLLOW PLUMBING CODES. If a floor drain is not available, install a brine valve safety float on the
brine valve.
16. Before leaving the installation site, check plumbing for leaks.

a. Remove the module and the remote base from both media tanks.
b. Place caps over the top of the distributor tubes to prevent media from falling inside the tubes.

amounts).
