Programming is completed.
If no button is pressed within 5 seconds, the controller will commence normal operation.
In normal operation (operating mode), the display will show the current time and a flashing
colon sign; the display will change alternately to show the amount of water filtered.
Start up & Commissioning
Upon completion of the above initial power up steps, the carbon filter needs to be put into
operation. Please follow the following procedures strictly to perform commissioning. (This
process is to be performed by the Pentair authorized distributor):
• Set the “Time of Day”, “Backwash Duration” and “Cleaning Cycle Interval” in accordance
with actual requirements. The control panel will return to operating mode with alternating
display of current time and amount of water filtered. Confirm that the bypass valve is
turned off and other external devices (connectors, valves, faucets) are connected securely
and are in proper operating condition. This should avoid any inconvenience during use.
SYSTEM STARTUP
The system will now need to be placed into operation. Please review MANUALLY INITIATING
A CLEANING CYCLE before attempting startup.
1. With the supply water for the system still turned off, position the bypass valve to the “not
in bypass” (normal operation) position.
2. Press and hold the “Backflush” button on the controller for three seconds. This will
initiate a manual cleaning cycle, and cycle the valve to the backwash position.
3. Filling the media tank with water:
A. With the system in backwash, open the water supply valve very slowly to approximately
the 1/4 open position. Water will begin to enter the media tank. Air will begin to be
purged to drain as the media tank fills with water.
WARNING: If opened too rapidly or too far, media may be lost out of the tank into the valve
or the plumbing. In the 1/4 open position, you should hear air slowly escaping from the
valve drain line.
B. When all of the air has been purged from the media tank (water begins to flow steadily
from the drain line), open the main supply valve all of the way. This will purge any
remaining air from the tank.
C. Allow water to run to drain until the water runs clear from the drain line. This purges
any debris from the media bed.
D. Turn off the water supply and let the system stand for about five minutes to allow any
trapped air to escape from the media tank. Turn on the water supply after five minutes.
Check for leaks.
The system is now fully operational.
