hose excessively. Tighten securely.

Step 6: Connect the purge valve to a drain using the flexible tubing provided. Cut

the end of tubing square and insert into the push-in fitting. The tubing can be run

down the right hand side of the unit within the recess provided – the plastic cover

may be removed to insert tube. The tubing should be secured to the wall or floor

to prevent it from moving during purging cycle. If the pressure tank (water

reservoir) is located downstream of the unit, the purge valve must be relocated. A

Purge Valve Relocation Kit R500003 (sold separately) is required to have the

water flow through the quartz. See Figure 1C

Step 7: Caution: Do not allow the inside of the unit to get wet. Before

opening the water supply, double check all connections and cover the top of the

unit with a rag or some plastic to prevent water entry. Ensure front panel is

closed. Close any faucets you opened in Step 1 and then slowly turn on the

water supply to check for leaks. If leaks exist, investigate the cause and repair.

Caution: Do not connect the unit to electrical power until the piping and unit are

free of water leaks. The optional solenoid valve can be placed into manual mode

to allow water to enter the unit. Switch back to automatic mode when done.

Step 8: Once the system is checked for leaks under full system pressure, install

pipe insulation on the outlet hose and piping to prevent condensation from falling

onto or into the unit.

Parallel Installation

When more than one unit is installed in parallel (flow split between units), the

units must be installed with manual shutoff valves both upstream and

downstream of each unit. This allows one unit to be serviced without interrupting

the flow to the other units. Another requirement is the installation of a check valve

downstream of the unit (after the unit). This will prevent the backflow of water to a

unit. See Figure 1F.

Plugging in the Upstream

Step 1: Ensure that the front panel of the unit is closed and the unit is securely

fastened to the wall. (Note: You should not open the front panel unless the unit

has been unplugged).

Caution: Do not operate unit dry. There must be water in the treatment

chamber to prevent damage to internal components.

Step 2: Plug the female end of the power cord into the power entry module

located on the left side of the front panel. The power cord must be removed

before front panel can be opened. See Figure 1B or 1C. Plug the male end of the

power cord into the Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor supplied. Plug the

Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor into a GFCI. Flip the switch on the Transient

Voltage Surge Suppressor to ON position.
