PREPARATION OF THE INSTALLATION SITE

• Installation area must meet all relevant building code. Water and power supply, and ambient conditions must meet Specification requirements of this manual.

• Observe all local plumbing and electrical code when connecting system to utilities.

• Install check valve when connecting the filter to water mains. Install second check valve after the system to prevent back flow.

• Particles such as sand, scale or rust can damage the control valve. Install a point-of-entry sediment filter.

• Equip the system with sampling taps and pressure gauges as shown on drawings. It will help in case any maintenance or troubleshooting is necessary.

• Install a vacuum relief valve as shown if there is a booster pump downstream of Ecosoft filter.
  The FRP tanks may implode if subjected to negative pressure.

• If your system does not include bypass valve assembly, run a bypass pipeline along the entire system. This may be necessary for diagnostics and maintenance.

PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLING AN FU CABINET SYSTEM

If your cabinet was delivered pre-loaded with media, place the cabinet in the installation spot, fill salt compartment with salt pellets, and then only carry out steps 5 – 8 of the procedure, skipping steps 1 – 4. If the resin was shipped in bag, then carry out all of the following steps.

1. Disconnect the flexible tube from brine inlet of the control valve. Unmount the valve by screwing it counterclockwise.

2. Put a plug or cap on the top end of the riser pipe to prevent getting any media inside the pipe.
   Pour the media in the tank using the funnel. When loading the tank, keep riser pipe vertical. If the pipe tilts, restore it to straight vertical direction. When finished, rinse the thread of tank opening with water to remove any beads of media stuck in the groove.

3. Mate the top distributor with the top end of riser pipe, then screw control valve in the tank opening. Connect the free end of brine tube back to the brine inlet of the control valve.

4. Place the cabinet in the installation spot. Open top lid and fill the salt compartment with softener salt pellets at least half full.

5. Connect drain pipe to the male threaded drain outlet of the control valve. Run the drain pipe to floor drain or gravity drain pipe socket. Secure the drain pipe end above the receiving fixture with at least 1″ air gap.

6. . Mount the pipe thread elbow adapters to the control valve’s In and Out ports and tighten the coupling nuts. Do not put any mechanical load on fittings or use them to support pipes.
   Connect the system to water supply and downstream pipework without turning on the water supply. Do not confuse In and Out ports. They are embossed with direction arrows.

7. Remove the front panel by pulling the locking tabs on the left and right side. Run the power cord through the cord guide in the control valve’s backplate and connect it to 12 VAC socket on the circuit board. Plug the power supply in the mains to power up the system.

8. Start manual regeneration of the system. Scroll regeneration to backwash if it isn’t the 1st step of the sequence. When the control valve starts the backwash, turn on mains water supply slightly at first. Air will be displaced from the system via drain line while the pressure tank is being filled with water. When the tank is full, water will start flowing down the drain line. At this point, fully open mains water supply.

Let the system complete regeneration, then perform one more manual regeneration.

Optional equipment

Softening systems can be additionally equipped with a Clack or Multiblock bypass valve.
The Clack bypass valve is attached directly to the inlet and purified water pipes and has 4 operating modes, listed below:

• NORMAL OPERTION
  

• BYPASS OPERTION
  

• DIAGNOSTIC MODE
  

• SHUT OFF MODE
  

The multiblock performs a bypass function, is equipped with a sampler and has 2 modes of operation:

Place the fitting of the overflow hose (1) at least 20 mm below the height of the safety overflow of the domestic water softening system. Fix vertically with the bracket (H). Connect the flush water hose with a downward slope to the fitting (2) and insert to a depth of approx. 90 mm.
Connect the overflow hose from the brine tank to the fitting (1) and fix with a hose clamp.
The flush water hose and the overflow hose mustnt be connected and mustnt have narrowing in the cross section.
