6
steps.
Connect the control valve to the AC power source. Turn the bypass valve (both knobs) slightly more
into the service position to allow water to run into the unit.
You want water to initially fill the tank
slowly. Once the tank is full of water, you can open bypass valve fully. This prevents filter media
from being pushed up into the control head by the initial surge of water going in.
Water
may look
somewhat discoloured at first. This is normal. Once the water runs clear and free from air pockets,
turn the bypass valve fully into the "service position".
Your water may be discoloured for a day to two after initial installation or may have small air bubbles. This is normal.
Also, it will take a few days to get all the untreated water out of your hot water tank and you may choose to empty your
hot water tank at the time of installation and clean it before letting water in from the filter.
NOTE: Your unit is not yet ready for service until you complete manual backwash
