Hydrotech 2510 Valve Automatic Water Filters: Activated Carbon, Turbidity (Multi-Media), Neutralizing - Manual (Page 5)

2. Attach the installation kit or bypass to the control valve. Make inlet and outlet water connections to meet applicable plumbing
codes. A 3/4” inlet line is recommended. When sweat fittings are used, solder the adapters for the inlet and outlet to the copper
pipe first. This procedure is necessary because the controls must not be subjected temperatures above 160
o F (71 o C). Then,
using teflon tape, screw the adapters for the inlet, outlet and drain into the valve.
CAUTION: Do not use pipe thread compound as it may attack the materials in the valve body.
3. On the drain, use the 1/2” hose barb supplied and a full 1/2” hose (not supplied) for the drain line and make the shortest run to a
suitable drain. The drain line must be secured in position at the end which discharges into the drain so it cannot be inadvertently
moved from the drain. An air gap may be required. Check your local plumbing code for minimum installation requirements.
4. Loosen the two screws on the timer cover to remove it from the timer.
5. Automatic water filters are supplied form the factory in the backwash position ready for start-up. Turn on the water supply to the
unit. Open the supply line slowly and allow the air to escape from the filter before turning the supply water on all the way. Allow
the unit to backwash until all the air and media fines are no longer showing at the drain. This may take up to 15 minutes so you
need to unplug the timer until you are ready to continue.
6. Plug the timer in; set the time and frequency of regeneration following instructions on pages 4 and 5, depending on the valve type
supplied. Allow the unit to complete the cycle on its own from this point.
7. Make sure the bypass valve is in the service position.
ALL STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODES GOVERNING INSTALLATIONS OF THESE DEVICES MUST BE OBSERVED.
