INSTALLATION FITTING ASSEMBLIES
Installation fittings connect to the control valve or the
bypass valve using nuts that only require hand tightening.
Hand tight nut connections between control valve and
installation fittings, control valve and bypass valve, and
bypass valve and installation fittings allow for ease
serviceability. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts
on installation fittings. Hand tighten only.
Split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load
to be spread over the entire nut surface area reducing the
chance for leakage. The split ring design, incorporated
into the installation fittings allows approximately 2
degrees off axis alignment to the plumbing system. The
installation fittings are designed to accommodate minor
plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support
the weight of a system or the plumbing.
When assembling the installation fitting package,
connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then
attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering
or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or
o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements
should be set before installing the nut, split ring and
o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cements on any
part of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control
valve. Solvent cements and primers should be used in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Slip the nut onto the fitting first, then the split ring
second and the o-ring last. hand tighten the nut. If the
fitting is leaking, tightening the nut will not stop the
leak. Remove the nut, remove the fitting, and check for
damage or misalignment of the o-ring.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Teflon
tape must be used on the threads of the 1” connection
and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon
tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps
because of o-ring seals.
Do not use Vaseline, oils or other unacceptable lubricants
on o-rings. A silicon lubricant may be used on black
o-rings.
BYPASS VALVE
The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve
body using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand
tighten nut connections between control valve and
fittings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve
and installation fittings allow for easy serviceability. The
split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load
to be spread over the entire nut surface area reducing the
chance for leakage. The split ring design, incorporated
into the bypass, allows approximately 2 degrees off axis
alignment to the plumbing system. The bypass is designed
to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but is
not designed to support the weight of a system or the
plumbing.
Avoid getting primer and solvent cements on any part
of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control valve.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Teflon
tape is not necessary on the caps because of o-ring seals.
Do not use Vaseline, oil or other unacceptable lubricants
on o-rings. A silicon lubricant may be used on black
o-rings.
A. GENERAL
1. Shut off all water at main supply valve.
2. Shut off the fuel supply to water heater.
3. Open faucets (hot and cold) nearest pump or water
meter to relieve pressure and drain system.
4. Move filter into the installation position. Loosely
attach all fittings to measure for bypass valve
assembly (if used), or manual bypass valve.
5. Level the unit. (Do Not use metal shims.)
6. Cut the cold water supply line as required.
7. Install the bypass valve assembly if used.
B. PLANNING INSTALLATION
1. All installation procedures must conform to local
plumbing, electrical and sanitation codes and
ordinances.
2. It is recommended that outside faucets for lawn
service be on the hard water line, ahead of the filter,
to conserve filtered water.
3. If this isn’t practical, use the convenient integral
bypass valve assembly.
CAUTION: The inlet water temperature MUST NOT
exceed 120° F.
4. Do not locate filter where ambient temperature
drops below 40° F.
5. Allow space around the filter for ease of servicing.
6. The filter drain lines must never be solidly connected
to the sewer line. (Always provide an air gap at the
END of the drain line). Valve drain line must not be
elevated over 5’ from the top of the filter on well
systems, and not over 8’ on municipal water systems.
7. Move the filter into position and connect to bypass
assembly (if used). The integral manual bypass option
is a connection which eliminates the need for a
3-valve manifold. This makes installation easier and
provides a more convenient method of bypassing.
8. IMPORTANT: Be sure that the water inlet line is
connected to the “inlet” side of the bypass valve or
to the inlet fitting. (Bypass valve both inlet/outlet
fittings are marked.) If water lines are reverse, (inlet/
outlet) filter mineral may be forced from the water
filter into the household plumbing system. If this

occurs, household plumbing system must be flushed
clean.
C. CONNECT ALL FITTINGS
(refer to previous page)
CAUTION: Care must be used when working with copper
tubing. Do not allow the flame from torch to contact any
portion of the Valve assembly.
1. Attach 3/4” drain line to drain elbow with insert and
nut.
2. Do not elevate the drain line over 5’ above the top of
the valve (8’ on municipal systems) or to exceed 25’ in
length at either height.
CAUTION: An air gap must be provided upon sewer
entry. (Conform to local plumbing and sanitation
codes and ordinances).
1. Media was shipped boxed under media tank.
Carefully unscrew control valve. Be sure to “plug” the
top of the distributor tube using tape or some other
means. Do not allow filter media to enter inside of
distributor tube. (See Fig. 3)
2. Pour the separately boxed media into media tank.
3. Lubricate o-rings on control valve with silicone
lubricant. DO NOT USE PETROLEUM JELLY.
4. Lubricate bypass valve o-rings with silicone lubricant
and secure to the control valve using adapter
couplings, clips and screws.
5. Cut main supply line as required to fit plumbing to
the inlet and outlet of bypass valve. Make certain
water flow enters through the Inlet and discharges
through the Outlet of the bypass valve.
6. Attach drain line to drain line fitting. Position drain
line over drain and secure firmly. To prevent back
siphoning, be sure to have adequate air gap of at
least 2 inches.
7. Make certain bypass valve is in the “bypass” position.
Turn on power to well pump or open main supply
valve completely.
8. Plug control valve into a non-switched 115v power
source.
9. Manually stage filter to the backwash position (see
service manual).
10. Open inlet valve and allow the unit to fill SLOWLY.
This will allow air to escape from the media tank.
Once water continually flows to drain, open both
inlet and outlet valves fully.
11. Check for leaks and allow filter to backwash for at
least 10 minutes or until water flowing from drain
runs clear.
12. Allow unit to fully regenerate (see service manual).
13. Models CBW10D, CBW20D, CCF10D and CCF20D have
a dome hole/plug located in the upper dome of the
mineral tank. This is used to replenish mineral as
required. DO NOT remove dome hole plug without
first depressurizing the tank.

INSPECTION AND HANDLING YOUR FILTER
Be sure to inspect the equipment for shipping damage
and notify the transportation company if damage exists.
Handle the filter with care, as damage can result if
dropped or if the filter is set on a sharp object.
CONDUCT A THOROUGH WATER TEST
Your water should have a thorough analysis prior to the
selection of water conditioning equipment. Enter your
analysis below:
WATER ANALYSIS
IRON (fe) __________ ppm
Manganese (Mn) __________ ppm
pH __________
Tannins __________ ppm
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) __________ ppm
NOTE: Hydrogen Sulfide must be tested at the well site.
Failure to conduct an “on site” analysis will result in
inaccurate test results.
LOCATING EQUIPMENT CORRECTLY
The location of your filter should be selected carefully. A
variety of conditions will contribute to proper location as
follows:
1. Locate as close as possible to the source of water
supply.
2. Locate as close as possible to drain, i.e. laundry tub or
floor drain.

INSTALLING THE AIR INDUCTION ASSEMBLY
1. Shut off all water at the main supply. On a private
well system, turn off power to the pump and drain
pressure tank. Make sure pressure is relieved from
complete system by opening nearest faucet to drain
system. SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER.
2. Cut main supply line as required to fit air induction
assembly in plumbing between well pump and
pressure tank. Air induction assembly may be installed
in a vertical or horizontal position. Position air
induction assembly so that the flow adjusting screw
is accessible for adjustment by screwdriver. Install
unions to facilitate air induction assembly removal
and inspection. Be certain the Flow Arrow on air
induction assembly points toward the pressure tank
FACTS TO REMEMBER WHILE

4. Lubricate bypass valve o-rings with silicone lubricant
and secure to the control valve using adapter
couplings, clips and screws.
5. Cut main supply line as required to fit plumbing to
the inlet and outlet of bypass valve. Make certain
water flow enters through the Inlet and discharges
through the Outlet of bypass valve.
6. Attach drain line to drain line fitting. Position drain
line over drain and secure firmly. To prevent back

least 2 inches.
7. Make certain bypass valve is in the “bypass” position.
Turn on power to well pump or open main supply
valve completely.
8. Plug control valve into a non-switched 115V power
source.
9. Manually stage filter to the backwash position (see
service manual).
10. Open inlet valve and allow the unit to fill SLOWLY.
This will allow air to escape from the media tank.
Once water continually flows to drain, open both
inlet and outlet valves fully.
11. Check for leaks and allow filter to backwash for at
least 10 minutes, or until water flowing from drain
runs clear.
12. Allow unit to fully regenerate (see service manual).
13. Models CCF10D and CCF20D have a dome hole/plug
located in the upper dome of the mineral tank. This
is used to replenish mineral as required. DO NOT
remove dome hole plug without first depressurizing
the tank.
ADJUSTING THE AIR INDUCTION ASSEMBLY
1. Open nearest faucet until pump starts, then close
faucet.
2. Place finger lightly over SUCTION PORT (See figure 2).
A slight suction should be detected for approximately
ONE-THIRD of pumping cycle. (Do not confuse with
one-third of PRESSURE RANGE).
3. If suction duration is too short, increase by turning
FLOW ADJUSTING SCREW CLOCKWISE. To decrease
duration, turn COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until proper setting is
obtained.
NOTE: When the duration of the suction is too long, cold
water may have a “milky” appearance caused by excess
air in the system. Correct this condition by reducing the
duration of suction. This condition is commonly associated
with bladder type pressure tanks In extreme cases where
elimination of excess air prevents system from performing
satisfactorily, it may be necessary to install a standard airto-water type pressure tank with an air relief valve.

Backwash Mode
Typically a system is set to backwash at a time of low
water usage. An example of a time with low water usage
is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for
water when the system is backwashing, untreated water
will be used.
When the system begins to backwash, the display will
change to include information about the step of the
backwash process. The system runs through the steps
automatically and will reset itself to provide treated
water when the backwash has been completed.

WATER TREATMENT
Bypass Valve
The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control
valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order
to perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The
bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment
industry due to its versatility and state of the art design
features. The bypass valve incorporates four positions
including a diagnostic position that allows service
personal to work on a pressurized system while still
providing untreated bypass water to the facility or
residence. Its completely non-metallic, all plastic, design
allows for easy
access and serviceability without the need for tools.
Automatic Water Filters
The bypass body and rotors are glass filled Noryl and the
nuts and caps are glass filled polypropylene. All seals are
self-lubricating EPDM to help prevent valve seizing after
long periods of non-use. Internal o-rings can easily be
replaced
if service is required.
The bypass consists of two interchangeable plug valves
that are operated independently by red arrow shaped
handles. The handles identify the flow direction of the
water. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate
in four positions.
Figure 1
NORMAL OPERATION

Water Exits
Normal Operation:
The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated
