Automatic Raw Water Bypass During Regeneration 

The regeneration cycle can last 30 minutes after which filtered water service will be re-

stored. During regeneration, un-filtered water is automatically bypassed for use in the 
household. Hot water should be used as little as possible during this time to prevent un-

filtered water from filling the water heater. This is why automatic regeneration is set for 
sometime during the night and manual regenerations should be performed when little or no 

water will be used in the household. 

 
Normal regeneration time is 12:00 AM. 

New Sounds 

You may notice new sounds as your filter operates. The regeneration cycle lasts up to 30 

minutes. During this time, you may hear water running intermittently to the drain. 

Manual Bypass 

In the case of emergency you can isolate your water filter from the water supply using the 

bypass valve located at the back of the control. In normal operation the bypass is open with 
the on/off knobs in line with the inlet and outlet pipes. 

 
To isolate the filter, simply rotate the knobs clockwise (as indicated by the word BYPASS 

and arrow) until they lock. You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the 

water supply is bypassing the filter. However, the water you use will be hard. To resume  
water service, open bypass valve by rotating the knobs counterclockwise.
