(Range of transmitter is about 70’).  If transmitter will activate system from short distance, but not from further away,
receiver may need to be relocated for better reception.  Strapping receiver to front of drain trap facing outward will
optimize reception.

Installing Batteries to the Transmitter

Open transmitter with a small flat head screwdriver by inserting screwdriver into slot to release catch.  Load

battery with negative side of battery toward spring.  Carefully replace cover.  When button is depressed, red indica-

You have purchased a Metlund Hot Water Demand
System that is equipped with the PF accessory pack-
age. The 1/2” male thread adapters have already been
pre-sweat to your Metlund System.

Enclosed with your system, are two T’s designed to sim-
plify your installation to 1/2” copper hot and cold supplies.*

1. Turn off the house water supply.

2. Open the hot and cold faucets at the fixture chosen for installation.This will relieve the water

pressure from the hot and cold water pipes.

3. Remove the shut-off valves that supply hot  and cold water to the sink from the 1/2” copper

pipe.  For ease of installation, leave the compression ring and nut from the angle stop on the
hot and cold water supplies.

4. Remove the compression ring and nut from the enclosed compression fitting on the PF-T’s,

and slide onto the other end. Attach the existing nut and ring to the end of the threaded T
and  firmly tighten.

5. Install the remaining compression ring and nut to the shut-off valve,slide onto the 1/2” side of

the PF-T and firmly tighten.

6. Now you are ready to attach flex lines from the 1/2” male thread of the PF-T’s to your Metlund

To install the Demand Button, follow these steps:
A.  Drill a 5/8" hole into the desired location.
B.  Insert the 5 foot gray wire from the controller through the back side of the hole and

connect it to the push button switch.  Then, firmly insert the push button back into the
hole.  Additional push button switches can be spliced into the same wires.  It is
important to use a button comparable in quality to the button provided.

Once installed, turn water supply on and plug in the system.  (Pump will automatically turn
itself on when it is initially plugged in without pushing the demand button).  The Metlund
System will continue to operate until the sensor signals that hot water has arrived, then it will
automatically shut off.  To test the system again, wait until pipes cool down.  You may then test
the system by pushing the demand button, or to pre-test your system after plugging the unit
into 110v outlet, place a hot rag over thermosensor located to the right of the ump housing.
The unit will shut off immediately.  Remove rag from sensor and test remote switches.
To operate the Metlund System from another location in the home, place remote button in
desired location.  Push remote button (red activation light will light up when pushed), wait a
few seconds for system to cycle.  You may now turn on hot water.   NOTE:  The Metlund
