4. PREPARATION OF THE INSTALLATION SITE
5. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OF FU/FK CABINETS
•
Installaon area must meet all relevant building code. Water and power supply, and ambient
condions must meet Specicaon requirements of this manual.
•
Observe all local plumbing and electrical code when connecng system to ulies.
•
Install check valve when connecng the lter to water mains. Install second check valve aer the
system to prevent back ow.
•
Parcles such as sand, scale or rust can damage the control valve. Install a point-of-entry
sediment lter.
•
Equip the system with sampling taps and pressure gauges as shown on drawings. It will help in
case any maintenance or troubleshoong is necessary.
•
Install a vacuum relief valve as shown if there is a booster pump downstream of Ecoso lters.
The FRP tanks may implode if subjected to negave pressure.
•
If your system does not include bypass valve assembly, run a bypass pipeline along the enre
system. This may be necessary for diagnoscs and maintenance.
If your cabinet was delivered pre-loaded with media, place the cabinet in the installaon spot, ll
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 exible 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 geng any media inside the pipe.
Pour the media in the tank using the funnel. When loading the tank, keep riser pipe vercal. If the
pipe lts, restore it to straight vercal direcon. When nished, 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 installaon spot. Open top lid and ll the salt compartment with soener
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
oor drain or gravity drain pipe socket. Secure the drain pipe end above the receiving xture with
at least 1″ air gap.
