5600 & 2510 Valve Automatic Water Filters Activated Carbon Filter Turbidity (Multi-Media) Filter Neutralizing Filter Operation Manual Read all instructions carefully before operation. #57282 Rev.
Performance and Specifications Taste and Odor Filter (Carbon) Unpleasant tastes and odors caused by chlorine or organic substances, such as decayed vegetation and run off, are adsorbed by top quality activated carbon. The filter will automatically backwash to a predetermined schedule. This frees the bed of accumulated impurities and readies it for operation again.
Installation and Start-up Procedure Installation Instructions Electrical Panel CAUTION: If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the Noryl bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity.
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 160oF (71oC). Then, using teflon tape, screw the adapters for the inlet, outlet and drain into the valve. 3.

Operating Instructions Water Pressure Your water filter is designed to operate under normal water pressures from 20 psi to 125 psi. Regeneration & Automatic Bypass Water filters are factory set to regenerate at 1:00 a.m. during a period of little or no water use. The regeneration cycle lasts approximately 15 to 90 minutes depending on valve type, after which filtered water service is restored. While regeneration is taking place, “raw water” automatically bypasses the filter if required.
Maintenance Instructions Maintenance of your new water filter requires very little time or effort but it is essential. Regular maintenance will ensure many years of efficient and trouble-free operation. Care of All Water Filters To retain the attractive appearance of your new water filter, clean occasionally with a mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents. Never subject your filter to freezing or to water temperatures above 120oF.
