When you call, please be prepared to provide the model, date code and serial number,
found on the rating decal, typically located inside the faceplate cover, near the back.
IMPORTANT:
Run the start up cycle immediately after
completing installation, before using any
water in the home.
The filtration media in this Whole Home Water
Filtration System contains a small number of harmless
activated carbon particles generated during shipping
that are small enough to exit the system with water
flow. It is normal for these particles to cause a tempo-
rary discoloration of the water coming out of the sys-
tem. To avoid discolored water at your home’s faucets
the system’s start up cycle should be initiated to rinse
the particles and any discolored water down the drain.
If the Whole Home Water Filtration System is used
without first running the start up cycle, you will notice
that the water will temporarily have a gray color until
the particles have exited the system.
To Initiate the start up cycle:
1. Make sure the drain hose is attached to the Whole
Home Water Filtration System and the other end is
secured over a drain (see “Install Valve Drain Hose”
on Page 10).
2. Make sure bypass valve is in the “service” (open or
filtered water) position and the home’s water supply
is turned on.
3. Press and hold the CLEAN button to initiate the
start up cycle. The button can be released when
you hear the valve changing position and
“RECHARGE NOW” flashes in the display.
During the start up cycle:
Throughout the start up cycle you will hear the valve
changing position and notice the flow of water to drain
starting and stopping. The start up cycle will take
approximately 20 minutes. Avoid using water during
this time. Do not set the time of day or press other
buttons during the start up cycle, as this will interrupt
the start up cycle. Do not unplug the transformer dur-
ing the start up cycle. If the start up cycle is interrupt-
ed, it should be initiated again and allowed to run to
completion.
After the start up cycle:
Once the start up procedure completes successfully, it
cannot be initiated a second time. The Whole Home
Water Filtration System will automatically return to the
normal operation position. Once the start up cycle has
run, a faucet in the home should be opened and water
allowed to run for 10 minutes at the system’s rated
flow. If, after running the start up cycle, the water still
appears discolored, manually run Clean Rinse cycles
(See Page 12) until the water is clear.
If the time of day was not set before the start up cycle,
set it now (See Page 12).
Check the new plumbing connections and joints once
more for leaks.
