OVERVIEW
The VZN system operates in two modes:
y Normal Operation Mode
y Flush Mode
During Normal Operation Mode, water
enters the Inlet and ows through the Ultra
Filter before exiting the Permeate Outlet as
usable product water.
During Flush Mode, the Drain Valve opens
and water entering the Inlet ushes and
cleans the Ultra Filter membrane by removing any debris collecting on the membrane
wall.
The Drain Valve is only powered during
Flush Mode.
NOTE: Do NOT unplug the power cord or
turn o the system during Flush
Mode. If there is a power outage or the system is unplugged,
water will continue to be ltered
but the system will NOT ush.
This could cause the Ultra Filter
to plug prematurely and may
reduce the life of the lter.
The ush is automated by the controller
to last 10 seconds and take place in one
hour intervals. This interval can be changed
(see Changing the Interval Setting in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
CAUTION
Changing the ush interval may cause
the Ultra Filter to plug prematurely and
may reduce the life of the lter. Consult
the factory for more information.
Manual Flushing
A manual ush can be activated at any
time by pressing the FLUSH button on the
Universal Pulse Controller.
When the FLUSH button is pressed, the
Flush LED on the controller ashes and the
Drain Valve opens for 10 seconds. After
ushing is complete, the Drain Valve will
close, the Flush LED will stop ashing, and
the unit automatically returns to Normal
Operation Mode.
NOTE: A Manual Flush will not aect the
interval ush setting.

OPERATION
Overview
The VZN system operates in two modes:
y Normal Operation Mode
y Flush Mode
During Normal Operation Mode, water
enters the Inlet and ows through the Ultra
Filter before exiting the Permeate Outlet as
usable product water.
During Flush Mode, the Drain Valve opens
and water entering the Inlet ushes and
cleans the Ultra Filter membrane by removing any debris collecting on the membrane
wall.
The Drain Valve is only powered during
Flush Mode.
NOTE: Do NOT unplug the power cord or
turn o the system during Flush
Mode. If there is a power outage or the system is unplugged,
water will continue to be ltered
but the system will NOT ush.
This could cause the Ultra Filter
to plug prematurely and may
reduce the life of the lter.
The ush is automated by the Universal
Pulse Controller to last 10 seconds and take
place in one-hour intervals. This interval
can be changed (see Changing the Interval
Setting in the Maintenance section of this
manual).
CAUTION
Changing the ush interval may cause
the Ultra Filter to plug prematurely and
may reduce the life of the lter. Consult
the factory for more information.
Manual Flushing
A manual ush can be activated at any
time by pressing the FLUSH button on the
Universal Pulse Controller.
When the FLUSH button is pressed, the

cartridge. The cartridge serial number is engraved on one end of the
outer tube (for example: 05K 12013).
11. Install the End Cap O-ring on the End
Cap and insert the Large End Cap
into the end of the new cartridge.
12. Position the new cartridge and End
Cap at the housing and gently insert
into the housing.
13. Press the End Cap into position until
it is fully seated and the Snap Ring
groove is visible.
14. Install the Snap Ring by guiding the
non-lugged end into the groove
rst, pushing outward and working

15. Reattach the tubing that was re-
moved in Steps 3 and 4. Be sure the
tubing is pushed past the O-ring.
NOTE: Make sure the tting is complete-
ly inserted onto the tubing past
the O-ring. A loose connection
results in leaking at the point of
connection.
16. Rinse the new Ultra Filter Cartridge
before placing the system back into
operation. Follow the Rinsing the
Ultra Filter Cartridge, Sanitizing the
System and Lines, and Rinsing the
Carbon Element procedures in the

6. Inspect the O-ring on the Carbon
Element Housing (Figure 9). Replace
the O-ring if it is cracked, twisted, or
missing.
7. Lubricate the O-ring with an approved food grade
lubricant and install into the Carbon
Element Housing.
8. Install the new Carbon Elements into
the Carbon Element Housing.
NOTE: Make sure the Gasket remains in
place in the recessed grooves on
both ends of the Carbon Element.
9. Screw the Carbon Element Housing
(containing the Carbon Element) into
place on the Carbon Element Head.
The Housing will come to a hard stop
at the end of the thread. Use a Filter
Wrench if necessary.
NOTE: Do NOT overtighten the Carbon
Element Housing.
10. Direct water from the Rinse Ball Valve
to a drain.

Resetting the Timer Program
During the normal operation, the system
will ush according to the set interval. It is
possible the system will ush at a time of
high water use. If this poses a problem, the
controller can be reset. Unplug the power
supply, wait for 5 seconds, and then plug
the power supply in. When power is restored to the controller, it will automatically
enter Flush Mode. The controller will then
begin timing from the point when power
is restored based on the interval setting
selected.
Check Permeate Tank
Air Pre-Charge
It is recommended the permeate tank air
charge be checked every six months.
Tools and supplies required:
y Air Pressure Gauge, 5-40 psi
range (0.3-2.7 bar) with tire valve
(Schrader Valve) connection
y Source of compressed air (manual
bicycle tire pump or air compressor)
1. Depressurize the system by closing
the Inlet and Outlet Valves and opening the Rinse Valve. Make sure the
Permeate Tank is fully drained.
2. Unscrew the protective cap from the
air valve on the tank.
3. Use the pressure gauge to check the
tank pre-charge for pressure.
NOTE: If any water comes out the air
valve, the tank bladder has ruptured and the tank needs to be
replaced.
4. The permeate tank should have a
pressure of 10 psi.
• To add pressure to the permeate
tank, use a manual bicycle tire
pump or other source of compressed air.
• To release pressure from the permeate tank, press the center pin
on the air inlet valve.
5. Once the permeate tank is at 10 psi,
replace the
protective cap on the air valve.
