Troubleshooting
CLEANING THE SEDIMENT FILTER
SCREEN
This procedure is not required if the Central Water
Filtration System is operating normally. It should be
performed only if a problem with low water pressure at
household faucets is encountered, as detailed in the
troubleshooting table on page 18.
1. Press and hold the CLEAN button for a few sec-
onds, until “RECHARGE NOW” begins to flash in
the display.
2. When water begins to flow from the valve drain
hose, place the bypass valve(s) in bypass position
(See Figure 11 on Page 12).
IMPORTANT: Be sure to do Steps 1 and 2, as instruct-
ed, to relieve water pressure in the tank.
3. Unplug the transformer from the wall electrical out-
let.
4. Remove the cover and hang it from the post on
front of rim (See Figure 9 on Page 10).
5. Pull the two clips at the inlet and outlet fittings.
Slide the adaptors, or bypass valve, from the
Central Water Filtration System valve.
6. Remove the clamp retainers (2) and clamp sections
(2) that hold the valve to the tank (See Figure 25).
Lift upward to remove the valve.
7. Remove the small o-ring (See Figure 26).
8. Remove the screen from the top distributor. Rinse
off the screen.
9. Use water to flush the tank top opening. Then,
replace the top distributor and o-ring. Be sure to
located o-ring seal correctly (See Figure 26).
10. Install the valve assembly and retaining clamps.
Double check to be sure clamps and retainers are
securely fastened in place.
11. Referring to the installation instructions, reconnect
the Central Water Filtration System to the plumb-
ing. Be sure the plumbing is held firmly in place in
the valve inlet and outlet.
12. Return the plumbing bypass valve(s) to normal
operating position (non-bypass).
13. Plug the transformer back into the wall electrical
outlet. The Central Water Filtration System will
complete the Clean Rinse cycle initiated in Step 1,
and will automatically return to normal operation.
