Directions for start-up (Empty Tank, system off):
1) Add FilterBalls to tank. They are soft and can be easily moved around when filling.
2) Re-attach Multiport Valve or tank lid making sure the stand-pipe is properly attached and set to rinse for 2 minutes, backwash for 2 minutes and then set to filter mode.
3) Backwash again when pressure increases by 5-7 PSI.
