TION OF THE “SYSTEM START-UP AND OPERATION PROCEDURES”. PLEASE REVIEW THIS WARNING
AND DIRECTIONS
Note:
The interconnection between the inlet, outlet, drain and tank lines can cause air in the unit at the control valve.
Air in lines, and at this valve, will not allow system to function properly.

customer service for a replacement fitting.
Step 2
For all 3- Stage Systems: Connect the orange/red tubing from the installed Inlet/Supply Connection to the location on the unit
