Product Operation and Specifications

Important Information

• Read these instructions carefully and determine the location of all system components before beginning installation.
• Check all applicable plumbing, building, and electrical codes for installation compliance.
• Install the system on the main water supply.
• Systems that contain electronic components cannot be installed outside in uncovered areas.

WARNING:
If this or any other system is installed in a metal ( conductive) plumbing system, i.e. copper or galvanized metal, the plastic components of the system will interrupt the continuity of the plumbing system. As a result any errant electricity from improperly grounded appliances downstream or potential galvanic activity in the plumbing system can no longer ground through contiguous metal plumbing. Older homes may have been built in accordance with building codes from decades ago, some of which actually encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances through the plumbing system. Consequently, the installation of a bypass consisting of the same material as the existing plumbing, or a grounded “jumper wire” bridging the equipment and re- establishing the contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing system must be installed prior to your system use.

CAUTION:
When adding a filtration/softening system to homes/buildings supplied by well water, the system should be installed following the pressure tank. DO NOT USE this system for pneumatic or hydro-pneumatic applications. If you are using a booster pump, then install this system following the booster pump. If you have questions, please call customer service.

Installation

Chemical Injector Pump and Solution Tank Installation

Figure 3

Chemical Injector Pump Installation

!IMPORTANT! Install the Chemical Injector Pump into the water supply after the Pre-Filter and before any other filtration or softening system.

1. Determine the size and material of your incoming water supply line from the Pre-Filter System.
2. Mount the Chemical Injector Pump to the wall using the provided bracket. Line up the inflow and outflow connections with the current water line.
3. Plumb the Chemical Injector Pump into your water line. The arrow on the body of the Chemical Injector Pump shows the correct water flow direction. The water should enter and exit the pump following the direction of the arrow.

Solution Tank Installation

1. Remove the black cap from the opening on the Solution Tank.

2. Drill one 1/2″ hole into the top of the Solution Tank.

3. Insert the end of the Chemical Injector Pump Tubing with the pump foot valve connected, into the hole which was covered by the black cap on the top of the Solution Tank.

4. Feed and pull the other end of the tubing through the drilled opening on the top of the Solution Tank.

5. Determine the length of Chemical Injector Pump Tubing required for the foot valve to reach 1″ from the
   bottom of the Solution Tank and cut tubing.

6. Connect the Chemical Injector Pump Tubing to the suction valve on the Chemical Injector Pump by removing the suction hose nut, place nut over tubing, pushing tubing onto suction valve, and tightening nut.

7. Fill the Solution Tank with 17 gallons of bottled water and proper cups of bleach. (see chart below)

Retention Tank Installation

Figure 4

1. Install the Extension Tube to the 90 degree fitting on the bottom of the Retention tank.
2. Connect the Extension Tube to the Shut-Off Valve.
   Optional: Connect the Shut-Off Valve to an outgoing drain line.

Figure 5

1. Determine the size and material of your incoming water supply line and choose the appropriate fittings required to connect it to the head of the retention tank. CAUTION:
   Do not over-tighten any of the fittings during installation.

2. Install the fitting onto the INLET and OUTLET sides of the filter head.

3. Connect the incoming water supply to the INLET side of the retention tank.

4. Connect the outgoing water supply to the OUTLET side of the retention tank.

Complete the Installation

1. Turn on the main water supply.
2. Check for leaks.

Testing Chlorine Levels in Water

1. Put the Carbon tank in bypass. (If present)
2. Turn on the nearest cold water faucet to the system.
3. Listen and watch the pump to make sure it is pumping. The pump should pulse and not run continuously. If the water is off, the pump will stop.
4. Let the water run for 30 minutes. 5. After 30 minutes, use a chlorine test strip to test a sample of water from the cold water faucet.
   a. The optimum chlorine level reading is 2.6ppm on the test strip.
   b. If you do not have a reading of chlorine you will need to add 3 more cups of bleach to the solution tank and mix. Note the new total or bleach to 17 gallons water. Repeat steps 4 & 5 to achieve a new sample for testing. Double- check to make sure the Carbon Tank is in bypass.
   c. If your reading is close to 2.6ppm then you will unlock the dosage adjustment on the injector pump and rotate up two full turns. Re-lock the dosage adjustment and repeat steps 4 & 5 to achieve a new sample for testing.
   d. Once you have tested another sample if you still do not have a reading of chlorine add another 3 cups of bleach and mix. Note the new total of bleach to 17 gallons of water. Repeat steps 4 & 5 to achieve a new sample for testing.
   e. If your reading is close to 2.6ppm then you will unlock the dosage adjustment on the injector pump and rotate up two full turns. Re-lock the dosage adjustment and repeat steps 4 & 5 to achieve a new sample for testing.
   *If after testing again there is still no reading of chlorine we recommend calling in to speak with a Technical Support representative.

Troubleshooting

the head to tighten it. The tank head is pre-installed hand-tight, do not overtighten the head (just turn it snug).
The tank leans to one side or is not level.| If the tank is not level, lift the tank straight up 6 inches and tap it on the ground until the tank stands vertical. The bottom of the tank is round and the boot allows the tank to stand upright.
