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.
