7 FILTER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE BARRIE ● ONTARIO ● CANADA 705.733.8900 WWW.EXCALIBURWATER.COM BYPASS VALVE NORMAL OPERATION The inlet and outlet handles of bypass valve should be pointing towards the direction of flow. Inlet is labelled on tank head as downflow inlet. Water flows downwards through the filter bed. BYPASS OPERATION The inlet and outlet handles point towards the center of bypass valve. The system is isolated from the water pressure in the plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the house in this position. SHUT OFF MODE The inlet handle point towards the center of bypass valve and the outlet handle points in the direction of flow, the water is stopped going to the plumbing system. If water is available on the outlet side of the Filter, it is an indication of water bypass around the system.

8 FILTER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE BARRIE ● ONTARIO ● CANADA 705.733.8900 WWW.EXCALIBURWATER.COM START UP INSTRUCTIONS • Keep the bypass valve in bypass operation by moving both handles pointing towards the center of bypass valve. • Open the main water supply valve, now the untreated water is being supplied to house. Open the faucet downstream of the filter. The initial water can be dirty because of installation debris. Now inspect the plumbing for leaks. • Shut off the main water supply valve and turn the bypass valve handles to service position. • Fully open the faucet downstream of the filter. Slowly open the main water supply valve to just ¼ way open. The water pressure is released into the tank. The air should come out of the faucet. • Once all the air has been removed from the tank, again turn the bypass valve handles to bypass position to soak the media for 60 minutes. Now fully close the faucet and fully open the main water supply valve. • After the soaking period of 60 minutes, turn the other bypass valve handles into the direction of service operation. To flush the media, open the single bath tub faucet or 3 sink faucets together to reach flow rate of 5 GPM for 5 minutes. • Shut the bath faucet off and open one sink faucet ¼ way open to approximately reach 0.5 GPM for 60 minutes in order to slow rinse the system. • Now, the system is ready to use normally.
