Start Up Instructions - Pentair CARBON FILTRATION SYSTEM 1.0 Installation And Service Manual

QUICK START GUIDE: SYSTEM START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Notice
To avoid damage, do not backwash filter for a minimum of 24 hours!
8. Confirm the system is plumbed correctly: inlet on left, outlet on right.
If there is a softener installed after the carbon filter, place the softener system in bypass. Follow the
softener start up instructions after the filter is complete. Open a faucet without an aerator, such as a
bathtub or outdoor faucet, close all others. Turn on the water and allow the system to rinse for
a minimum of 10 to 15 minutes to get rid of all fines (you can't rinse too much).
9. Advance to backwash: Press SCROLL button 2 times. The display will start a 10 second count down.
At zero, the motor will start and advance valve to cycle 1 (backwash). Allow the air to purge (2 to 3
seconds) then immediately advance the valve to next cycle by pressing and holding briefly the
SCROLL button. Once the motor starts release the SCROLL button. The valve will advance to cycle 3
(fast rinse). Allow the system to complete the cycle. *Because carbon can take 24 hours to saturate, we
advance the valve quickly to avoid the carbon from lifting.
10 Flush the system and verify gallon counter. While the water is flowing, check the gallons remaining on
the home screen and verify that the number is decreasing. This will confirm that the system is counting
gallons. Run a faucet on the hot water side until it runs cold to drain hot water tank. Explain system
basics to the homeowner and answer any questions they may have.
Notice
The homeowner will likely notice an initial "cloudy" appearance to the water for a few days or so - this
cloudiness is actually tiny air bubbles being purged from the carbon. This is normal, harmless, and will
clear up within a few days.
