Manual Backwash Cycle

If you run out of treated water because of inadequate regeneration frequency, inadequate reserve capacity, power failure

or unusually high water usage, you can initiate a manual regeneration simply by pressing the extra cycle button. The

filter will now automatically complete a regeneration cycle and return to service. If possible, avoid water use during the

regeneration cycle.
Once you have set your filter and you experience frequent loss of water pressure, you may have to increase the

frequency of regeneration by resetting the gallons between regeneration.

Water Pressure

Your filter is designed to operated under normal water pressures from 20 psi (1.4 atm) to 125 psi (8.5 atm).

New Sounds

You may notice new sounds as your water filter operates. The regeneration cycle lasts approximately 20 minutes. During

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

Manual Bypass (Figure 5A)

In case of an 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 untreated.
To resume treated water service, open the bypass valve by rotating the

knobs counter-clockwise.

Stainless Steel Bypass (Figure 5B)

In normal operation the bypass lever is aligned with the inlet/outlet with the

pointer on SERVICE. To isolate the filter, rotate lever counter clockwise until

it stops and pointer indicates unit is in bypass.
You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the water supply

is bypassing the filter. However, the water you use will be unfiltered.
To resume filtered water service, open the bypass valve by reversing the

rotation of the lever.
