P/N 1010827 Rev. D 04/06
CAUTION
Ingesting the protective solution may cause irrita-
tion of the gastrointestinal tract, colic, diarrhea, or
other similar symptoms
1. Plug the power cord into the appropriate electrical
outlet. The unit will power up and the LED display
will display the following for about two seconds
each:
• 8.8
• F8 followed by its time settings in seconds
• Fi and its time setting in minutes or hours.
The F8 and Fi sequence repeats for 30 seconds
after which the unit automatically returns to the
Flush Interval Mode (Fi). The time setting for Fi will
be displayed and the decimal point will flash in one
second intervals.
2. Open the tap or faucet closest downstream to the
filter system.
3. Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water
to enter the system.
4. Press and hold the Start button. After 6-7 sec-
onds, the drain valve will open and FL will appear
on the display.
5. Continue holding the Start button down for at least
30 seconds to keep the drain open. This flushes
air out of the center of the hollow fibers of the car-
tridge filter. The drain will remain open as long as
the Start button is pressed. Check to make sure
that the drain water is directed into the drain with-
out splashing.
6. Release the Start button. This closes the drain
valve. Water should continue to flow through the
system and out of the open tap. Allow water to
flow out of the tap for at least 15 minutes at maxi-
mum flow rate.
7. Close the tap and let the system stand without
water flow for 15 minutes to allow any trapped air
to come out of the hollow fibers. Check for leaks
at all fittings.
8. After 15 minutes without water flow, open the
tap for 5 minutes to allow any trapped air to be
flushed out.
9. Close the tap. Flushing is complete.
INSTALLATION (continued)
SANITIZING THE SYSTEM AND LINES
The plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible
contamination that may have occurred during the instal-
lation process. Chlorine bleach can be used to sanitize
the plumbing. The amount of bleach used depends
on the size of the system installed and the amount of
plumbing downstream of the filter system. Generally,
one ounce (30 ml) of bleach will be sufficient to sanitize
the system.
1. Make sure that the system has been flushed of
air and debris as described in the Flushing and
Starting up the System section of this manual.
2. Open the tap closest downstream to the filtration
system and close the inlet water valve and allow
the system to depressurize.
3. Place a bucket under the strainer at the inlet
connection to the system. Open the strainer by
unscrewing the cap. Water will flow out of the
strainer as the system drains.
4. When the water flow from the strainer stops, pour
the liquid bleach into the strainer. Be careful not
to spill bleach onto clothing or skin. Re-attach the
cap on the strainer.
5. Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water
to flow out of the tap until the smell of bleach is
present.
6. Close the tap and let the system stand without
water flow for at least 15 minutes to allow the
bleach to sanitize the pipes.
7. After 15 minutes without water flow, open the tap
and flush until the presence of bleach is gone. All
other taps should be opened to flush any bleach
from the plumbing.
8. Close the tap. The sanitization is complete.
Program the timer following the procedure outlined in
the Operation section of this manual.
