drain line flow control and pull outward. You may wish to dry-fit the fitting first to make sure
you line up the drain line properly with the drain port on the control valve if you are using
rigid pipe.
Re-insert the DLFC into the control valve and securely lock into place with the retaining clip
when done.
Ensure that the drain line is thoroughly secured along its route to the drain. The drain line
will be under pressure when the backwash cycle is working. If not adequately secured, the
drain line could vibrate during backwash causing excessive noise. If this is experienced, use
additional fixtures to better secure the drain line.
Step 7 – Control Valve Set-up
During cold weather, the installer should warm the control valve to room temperature before
operating. Note: All electrical connections must be done according to local codes.
Plug the control valve into a standard, grounded 120 volt (60 Hz) electrical outlet. Be certain
that the outlet is uninterrupted and not controlled by a switch. An extension cord may be
used to reach a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure that the extension cord is UL/CSA certified
and of an appropriate wire gauge for the application. Plug the other end of the power cord
into the electrical port on the control valve.
Note: The electrical port on the control valve is
located on the right side of the valve (when you are
facing the control panel), just behind the tab used
to remove the valve cover. It is a bit tricky to find.
Once plugged in, the touch screen on the control
valve will illuminate. The control valve may need
to reset to the home position when it is powered
up. If it does, the motor will run for a few seconds.
Optional: The touch screen is shipped with a protective plastic film that can be peeled off.
