Instructions
Flush lines of old water
by running water from each faucet. Remember that the hot water heater will be filled with old water.
Clean Disloged Sediment:
Aerators on faucets, faucet heads, toilets, etc. may have to be cleaned of scale and sediment that
dislodges from old pipes.
NOTE: On old pipes that have accumulated sediment ONLY -
Run water for a couple of minutes during the first 15 days, after it has
been sitting in the pipes overnight or if water has sat in the pipes for a prolonged period.
1.
Set the temperature at the medium setting to achieve 140 degrees. Older water heaters may have to be turned to high to
achieve this temperature due to scale buildup in the unit.
2. One month after your LifeSource system installation
, drain the hot water heater until the drained water runs clear. In addition your
hot water heater should be drained once a year per manufacturer’s instructions. Older water heaters may descale with LifeSource
water and should be drained one month or so (as scale dislodges).
3.
Recirculating pumps should be unplugged if the main water line is shut off in order to avoid burning out the motor. They should
also be unplugged when draining the hot water heater.
4.
Hot water heaters can easily be drained by attaching a hose to the faucet at the bottom of the unit. Open the faucet and allow
the water to run until it is fairly cool.
Consult your manufacturer instruction manual for draining tankless water heaters.

Water Doesn’t Taste Right
Check Bypass: See if the bypass on BOTH TANKS are in the service position.
[
See Figure 10 & 11]
Check Electrical: Make sure power plug on the
WATER FILTER
is plugged into electrical
110v outlet and clock is running. If the clock is not running, it may need a new motor
or transformer (if using a 24-volt head). Always start with the transformer.
Rinse Line Runs Continuously:
If water continually flows out the rinse line, one will get a cross-
-mixture of tap water and filtered water, as the piston hasn’t fully returned to service position.
This is usually caused by tiny pebbles lodging in the piston or in the seals and spacers if the
piston assembly. Manually turn the dial several times through the self-cleaning cycles.
Often this will dislodge the offending obstruction.
Air Is Visiable In Water After System Is Installed: If the water appears cloudy
when you fill a glass of
water, this usually indicated that air has gotten into the water lines during installation. Open all
faucets in the building and run water for a couple of minutes to flush out the air.
System Rinse Line Runs Continuously:
If water continually flows out the rinse line on the
WATER FILTER
,
one will get a cross-mixture of tap water and filtered water, as the piston hasn’t fully returned to
service position. This is usually caused by tiny pebbles lodging in the piston or in the seals and
spacers of the piston assembly. Manually turn the dial on the
WATER FILTER
several times through
the self-cleaning cycles. Often this will dislodge the offending obstruction.
