Page 3: Pre-Installation Instructions
Successful Application Any filter media may have specific limitations and/or requirements for successful application. A water sample should be submitted to Franklin Water Treatment for analysis and recommendation by technical service. Time of Backwash Periodically the control valve will go through a backwash cycle. This cycle is factory preset to 12:00 A.M. flushing the accumulated sediment and/or precipitant to the drain. - Page 4 Pre-installation Instructions (cont.) Water Supply This filter will function properly when the water supply is furnished by a jet pump, submersible pump, variable speed (constant pressure) pump or community water supply. As with all other filter systems, however, it is imperative that the well pump provides enough flow rate for the filter to adequately backwash.

Page 5: General Installation
General Installation GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The water conditioner is not designed to support the weight of plumbing. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black “O” Rings. This will allow ease of installation and decrease chance of rolling from the bypass and tank connections. -

Bypass Valve The bypass valve is used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system's water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The 1" full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions including a diagnostic position that allows a service technician to have pressure to test a system while providing untreated bypass water to the building. -

Page 12: Maintenance
Maintenance 1) If your unit contains activated carbon, you should replace the carbon and gravel underbed at least every three years. Replacement may be required sooner if the taste and odor being removed begins to reappear in the treated water or you experience increasing pressure drop that is not resolved by increasing the frequency of backwashing. - Page 13 Maintenance (cont.) 11) Attach bypass valve to control valve body. 12) Reattach Drain Line to Control Valve (Figure 6, Page 6). 13) IMPORTANT! Activated Carbon, Filter Ag, Zeolite and Birm must be soaked for at least 2 hours prior to submitting it to full backwash flow rate to prevent loss of media to drain. 14) Gradually turn the INLET side knob of the bypass valve counter-clockwise not more than ½...
