Troubleshooting guide

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS:

• After installation is complete, rotate bypass handles to bypass mode (see Fig.2 on page 4).

• Turn on water and check for leaks.

• Fully open a cold water faucet — preferably a laundry sink or bathtub without an aerator.

• Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris which may have occurred during installation.

System regeneration sequence is in the following order. Some sequence differences may be noticed

depending upon local conditions. (If it is desired to change this sequence, please refer to the Dealer Manual

or contact the manufacturer.)

The system is now ready for filling with water and for testing.

1. Place the bypass valve into the bypass mode (Fig. 2 on page 4).

2. Press and hold the

REGEN button until the motor starts. Release button. Put the valve into “BACKWASH”

position. Unplug the transformer so that the valve will not cycle to the next position. Open the inlet handle

of the bypass valve very slightly allowing water to fill the tank slowly in order to expel air.

CAUTION: If water flows too rapidly, there will be a loss of media to the

drain. Some medias such as carbon and Filter Z should not be

backwashed immediately for extended periods of time. These

medias need to “soak” in the water for a 24-hour period prior

to full backwash conditions.

3. When the water is flowing steadily to the drain without the presence of air, slowly open the inlet valve.

Restore power and momentarily press the

REGEN button to advance the control to the “RINSE” position.

4. With the bypass still in the diagnostic mode (Fig. 3 on page 4), there should be a rapid flow to the

drain. Unplug the transformer to keep the valve in the “RINSE” position. Allow water to run until steady,

clear and without air.

Note: Carbon filters, Filter Z filters and Impression Air Systems may require a longer rinse period to rinse

the media of excess particles. Some “color throw” can be expected. Run water until clear.

5. Restore power, press

REGEN button in sequence until display returns to “TIME.” Place bypass valve in the

normal operating mode (Fig. 1 on page 4) by opening the outlet bypass handle.

6. Go to laundry tub or bathtub faucet, preferable a faucet without an aerator, and turn on cold water. Let the

water run. Note the color of water coming from faucet. If discolored, let water run until clear. If severely

discolored, place unit into rinse position (step 4) and run water to the system’s drain until clear.

Note: At no time should there by large particles of media noticed at faucet or laundry tub. If this is seen,

immediately shut off water and bypass system, as this could be an indication of a distributor failure.

Contact manufacturer or distributor for assistance.

7. For IMS and IMB filters, place unit into regeneration again and allow to complete cycle. Upon

completion, unit will have an air charge and will delivery treated water.
