Assembly and Installation Instructions

1. By hand, unscrew the entire 5700-E control valve from the top of the tank if it was shipped
screwed on. Place distributor tube in tank if not already inside. If not already done, make sure
the blue cap is on top of distributor tube, or wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or
duct tape. You do not want gravel or Calcite to go down the distributor tube.
2. Add the filter gravel that came with your order. You want the gravel to cover the bottom
distributor screen before adding the Calcite media.
3. Next add Calcite media. The tank will be about 2/3rds full of media. Do not fill more than 2/3rds
full, even if there is some left over. You can save that for when it is time to refill the tank with
more Calcite.
4. Remove cap or tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube
when removing cap or tape.
5. If possible at this point, fill the tank completely with water. This will allow the Neutralizer media
to settle and eliminate the need of "purging" the air out of the tank later.
6. Attach plastic top screen to the under-side of the 5700-E control valve. It is a funnel-shaped
plastic screen that snaps on to the control valve and prevents resin from being backwashed out
to drain during the regeneration cycles.
7. Add a small amount of silicone grease or vegetable cooking oil to the tank threads and screw on
5700-E control valve carefully. Do not use pipe-joint compound, Teflon tape, or Vaseline or
other petroleum greases to lubricate tank threads.
