5. Pull out drain line flow control assembly from valve body. Unscrew drain line fitting elbow from drain line flow control.
Apply Teflon tape to threads. Reassemble to valve body, making certain drain line flow control assembly is fully
inserted into valve body. Attach 1/2 in diameter drain line to drain elbow.
6. Position drain hose over drain and secure firmly. To prevent back-siphoning of sewer water, provide an air gap of at
least 2 inches or 2 pipe diameters between the end of the drain hose and the drain. Do not raise drain hose more
than 10 ft. above floor.
7. Make sure the bypass valve is in the service position.
8. Plug the 24-volt transformer into a 120 VAC 60 Hz outlet. This valve has four positions: 1) Backwash 2) Brine/Rinse
(not used) 3) Rapid Rinse and 4) Brine Refill (not used). When the valve is in the Service position, the extra cycle
button (far left button as shown on Figure 5) must be pressed and held for 5 seconds before it activates. Press and
hold the extra cycle button for 5 seconds to advance the valve to the “1” Backwash position. Slowly turn on the
water supply and allow the unit to backwash until the air purges out of the tank and clears the system.
NOTE: During the initial backwashings, a small amount of fine brownish media may be observed in the drain water.
This is normal and beneficial for the efficient operation of your filter system.
9. Press the extra cycle button to advance the valve back into the service position indicated by the red dot in upper left
corner of the display.
10. To adjust the Mazzei injector: (Figure 4)
a. Make sure the liter meter is in a vertical position.
b. Adjust air suction by opening and closing the bypass
valve.
c. Setting is correct when the liter meter shows 1/2 L/M of
air entering the injector.
11. Make certain bypass is closed and inlet and outlet valves
are fully opened. Check for leaks.
12. Set the time of day and backwash frequency.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the media, the filter sometimes
takes several days after start-up to completely remove the
iron. Do not become alarmed if this occurs.
