9. PRESSURE TESTING FOR LEAKS
To prevent excessive air pressure in the EcoWater
Central Water Filtration System and plumbing
system, do the following steps EXACTLY in order:
a
. Fully open two or more
filtered
cold water faucets
nearby the EcoWater Systems filter.
b
. Place the bypass valve(s) in
bypass
position (See
Figures 32 & 33 on Page 22).
c
. Fully open the main water supply valve. Watch
until the flow from the opened faucets becomes
steady, with no spurting or air bubbles.
d
.
EXACTLY
as follows, place bypass valve(s) into
service
:
(1) SINGLE BYPASS VALVE:
Slowly
move the
valve stem toward
service
position, pausing sever-
al times to allow the unit to pressurize slowly.
(2) 3-VALVE BYPASS: Fully close the
bypass
valve
and open the
outlet
valve.
Slowly
open the
inlet
valve, pausing several times to allow the unit to
pressurize slowly.
e
. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet
for one minute, or until all air is expelled, then close.
f
. Close all cold water faucets and check your plumb-
ing work for leaks.
IMPORTANT:
Start up procedure must be run prior to
using any filtered water. Follow the instructions at
right and on Page 11.
10. CONNECT TRANSFORMER
a
. During installation, the Central Water Filtration
System wiring may be moved or jostled from place.
Check to be sure all leadwire connectors are secure
on the back of the electronic control board (See
Figure 31 on Page 21) and be sure all wiring is away
from the valve gear and motor area, which rotates
during Clean Rinse cycles.
b
. Plug the transformer into a continuously “live,”
grounded, 120V, 60Hz house electrical outlet, in a dry
location and approved by local codes.
The unit
works on 24V only. Do not connect without the
transformer.
11. SET PRESENT TIME ON THE ELEC-
TRONIC CONTROLLER
In the display, the words “PRESENT TIME” appear
and 12:00 PM begins to flash. Set the clock accord-
ing to the “Set Time of Day” section on Page 12.
12. RUN START UP PROCEDURE
Run the Start Up Procedure, as detailed on Page 11,
to purge the system of fine carbon particles.
13. RESTART THE WATER HEATER
Once the Start Up Procedure has been completed,
turn on the electric or fuel supply to the water heater,
and light the pilot, if applies.
NOTE:
The water heater is filled with unfiltered water
and, as hot water is used, it refills with filtered water.
In a few days, the hot water will be fully filtered. To
have fully filtered hot water immediately, wait until the
start up procedure (Step 12) is complete, then drain
the water heater until water runs cold.
