10.Connect the inlet/outlet adapters to the plumbing. Solder or glue adapters to pipe as applicable.
NOTE: Do not solder adapters while in the by-pass valve.
NOTE: Care should be taken during the installation process to assure that solder flux does not come in contact with the media tanks, the control module, and related components.
11.After all plumbing is completed and before connecting any equipment, flush both inlet and outlet lines by opening the raw water inlet valve and allowing water to rinse out and debris in the line.
12.Close the raw water line when complete.
