Once the media has been adequately pre-soaked for 2 hours:
WITH THE BYPASS STILL IN THE BYPASS POSITION, touch the REGENERATION ICON. You
will be given a choice to regenerate “now” or “at regen time” - select “now.” You will hear the
valve motor change the position of the valve piston, “backwash” will be indicated on the
regeneration wheel on the touch screen display, and the backwash time will begin counting
down in the top right corner of the display. Once the motor has stopped moving (no more
noise), press the REGENERATION ICON again to advance to the rinse stage of the
regeneration cycle.
Without delay, immediately begin to slowly open the bypass to the service position, allowing
water to flow into the system. Water and air will begin to flow to the drain line and will
continue for 3 minutes. At the end of this time, the valve will re-position and the filter will
return to normal service mode.
INSPECT YOUR DRAIN LINE PLUMBING CONNECTIONS AND REPAIR ANY LEAKS
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE PROCEEDING. IF THE PLUMBING PIPE RATTLED OR VIBRATED
DURING THIS PROCESS CAUSING EXCESSIVE NOISE, USE ADDITIONAL FASTENERS TO
BETTER SECURE THE DRAIN LINE.
Touch the REGENERATION ICON. You will be given a choice to regenerate “now” or “at
regen time” - select “now” to engage a full backwash and rinse cycle. Allow the backwash
and rinse to run their full cycles.
When the system returns to service mode, slowly open a nearby cold water tap (after the
MicroTurb™ system) and let the water run for 5 to 10 minutes until the system is purged of all
air that may have resulted from the installation, and the water is running clear. Repeat for
other faucets in the building starting at the highest elevation and working down to the lowest
point until all air is purged. The initial flow of water may be slightly discolored. This is normal
and will go away quickly.
It is now safe to turn the electricity back on to your water heater.
Congratulations!
Your system is now ready to provide treated water to your home!
