BEFORE YOU START
We recommend th t you re d the entire instructions before commencing the ctu l inst ll tion.
While we strongly recommend th t w ter tre tment technici n or licensed plumber perform
ll inst ll tion work, mech nic lly-inclined homeowner c n inst ll this system. In ll c ses, it
is critic l th t the inst ll tion be done in ccord nce with these instructions nd ll pplic ble
plumbing nd electric l codes. Be sure to obt in ll required permits. If these instructions nd
the pplic ble codes re in conflict, the relev nt plumbing/electric l code should be followed.
Equipment f ilure, person l injury, nd/or property d m ge c n result if this equipment is not
inst lled properly or if it used incorrectly.
Before you st rt, you need to know wh t system configur tion you re using nd confirm th t
you h ve received ll of the necess ry p rts.
These instructions re intended for inst ll tion of single Ultr Plus+ UP-12
Ultr filtr tion system WITH Wellm te WM-9 B ck Flush Pressure T nk, AND one
of our option l Quick Inst ll tion Kits (UP-INST-BF or UP-INST-BF/FF). If you re
not using one our Quick Inst ll tion Kits AND the WellM te WM-9 B ck Flush
Pressure T nk, this is NOT the correct inst ll tion m nu l for your inst ll tion.
Cont ct your de ler to obt in the correct m nu l.
B ck Flush
Where a single system is used n its wn, a Back Flush Pressure Tank with a minimum capacity f
ab ut 30 gall ns is required (minimum drawd wn f 10 gall ns) s that the system can
aut matically backwash the membrane n a daily basis using treated water. This keeps the
membrane clean and prevents cl gging. The Wellm te WM-9 pressure tank is required when y u
use ne f ur pti nal Quick Installati n Kits. The pressure tank als pr vides service water
during the Back Flush pr cess. The Back Flush pr cess is c ntr lled by a s len id valve and will
require ab ut 10 gall ns f water. It is imp rtant t ensure that this v lume f water plus any
service fl w that can happen simultane usly are within the drawd wn capacity f the selected
pressure tank. In m st cases, the Back Flush is scheduled t ccur in the middle f the night when
service demands sh uld be zer . Where multiple systems are plumbed in parallel t achieve
higher fl w rates, the supply f treated water f r the back flush cycle can be pr vided by the ther
unit(s) s a Back Flush Pressure Tank is n t required.

6
Forw rd Flush
We rec mmend that a F rward Flush be c nducted n at least a weekly basis especially f r
applicati ns inv lving high levels f turbidity. This can be d ne manually by pening a ball valve
f r a few minutes (included with ur UP-INST-BF quick installati n kit), r y u can add the pti nal
aut matic F rward Flush Kit (UP-FF) that will perf rm this flush f r y u n a daily basis after the
Back Flush.
Quick Inst ll tion Kits
We are pleased t ffer pti nal quick installati n kits that enable installers t quickly c nnect the
system t the Back Flush Pressure Tank, etc. These kits use brand-name quick-c nnect style
fittings and PEX-tubing f r a tidy, pr fessi nal-l king installati n in a fracti n f the time. These
kits are designed specifically f r use with the Wellmate WM-9 Back Flush Pressure Tank. D n t
use the quick installati n kits if y u are using an alternative pressure tank r if y u are installing
multiple systems in parallel c nfigurati n. If you re not using one our Quick Inst ll tion Kits
AND WellM te WM-9 B ck Flush Pressure T nk, this is not the correct inst ll tion m nu l for
your inst ll tion!
The UP-INST-BF Quick Inst ll tion Kit is used if y ur system will be f rward flushed manually (y u
did n t purchase the pti nal F rward Flush Kit).
The UP-INST-BF/FF Quick Inst ll tion Kit is used if y ur system will be equipped with the pti nal
F rward Flush Kit UP-FF.

The Quick Installati n Kits use vari us brand-name quick c nnect fittings f r easy assembly. There
are 2 styles used:
John Guest Br nd Quick Connect Elbows nd Tees
T c nnect a tube/pipe t a J hn Guest fitting, unl ck the fitting by turning the c llet c unter-
cl ckwise until the fitting l sens. A small gap will pen between the c llet and the back f the
fitting. Push the tube firmly int the fitting as far as it will g . Turn the c llet cl ckwise until tight
t secure the fitting. Pull ut n the tube t ensure a g d c nnecti n has been made. The pipe
can be rem ved fr m the fitting by l sening the c llet again and depressing the c llar evenly
while pulling utward n the tube.
Helpful Tip! When the c llet is l sened and the fitting is “unl cked,” the fitting can be r tated as
necessary t c rrectly align the parts and fittings t achieve a perfect installati n.
Asco Quick Connect Solenoid Connections
These fittings are used n the s len id valves. T c nnect a tube/pipe t these fittings, l sen the
c nnect r by turning cl ckwise until the fitting l sens. D n t rem ve it c mpletely fr m the
s len id valve. Push the tube firmly int the fitting as far as it will g . Tighten the c nnect r by
turning it cl ckwise until snug. Pull ut n the tube t ensure a g d c nnecti n has been made.
These fittings can be disassembled by unscrewing the c nnect r c mpletely fr m the s len id
valve and disassembling the fitting piece by piece.

SELECT AN INSTALLATION LOCATION
We rec mmend interi r installati n nly. The system cann t be all wed t freeze r severe
system damage c uld ccur. The system sh uld n t be installed in direct sunlight as l ng-term
exp sure t UV light c uld damage c mp nents f the system.
This UltraPlus+ System is designed t be installed n either a gravity fed water system r after a
pressure tank. In m st cases, the system sh uld be l cated AFTER the pressure tank,
sediment/turbidity pre-filtrati n, ir n filters, water s fteners, and tannin filters but BEFORE a UV
sterilizer r chl rinat r and the h t water heater. Please discuss with y ur dealer as there are
excepti ns.
If you pl n to inst ll the Ultr Plus+ system prior to cistern or pressure t nk, n ltern te
inst ll tion configur tion, control v lve progr mming ch nges, nd/or ddition l equipment
m y be required to protect your pump nd ensure th t the utom tic cle ning flushes work
properly. Discuss with your de ler before proceeding.
Select a l cati n f r installati n f y ur system that is within cl se pr ximity t the main inc ming
water lines f the building. The l cati n sh uld have a firm, level surface with sufficient space f r
the treatment unit with c ntr l valve m unted and the back flush pressure tank. Ensure that
there will be en ugh space surr unding the unit t facilitate maintenance.
Y u will als need access t at least ne standard, n n-switched, gr unded 120 v lt (60 Hz)
electrical utlet. The Fleck 5810XTR2 c ntr l valve c mes with a 10 f t l ng p wer c rd. The
back flush s len id valve and f rward flush s len id valve (if s equipped) require a standard
electrical utlet f r p wer as well. An extensi n c rd may be used t reach a suitable electrical
utlet. If this pti n is used, ensure that the extensi n c rd is UL/CSA certified and f an
appr priate wire gauge f r the applicati n.
Y u will als require a nearby fl r drain r standpipe t discharge the drain water fr m the back
flush and f rward flush cycles. A drain standpipe f r a washing machine, fl r drain, r sump
pump are excellent drain pti ns. We rec mmend that the drain line be c nnected t a minimum
1 1/2" drain standpipe r fl r drain l cated ideally bel w the t p f the c ntr l valve f y ur
system. If p ssible, the drain sh uld be n farther than 20 feet fr m the filter system.
Note: Never connect the dr in line directly into dr in pipe. Allow n ir g p between the dr in
tubing nd w ste line to prevent the possibility of b ck-siphoning. We do not recommend use of
check v lve s it m y become clogged with cont min nts ejected from the system during
b ck/forw rd flush. A minimum ir g p of 2x the di meter of the dr in line should be provided.
Be sure to dhere to the plumbing code pplic ble in your re .

3. C nnect the L wer Tank Assembly (10) t the B tt m Tank Adapter (4) such that it
pr trudes ut the n tch in the base f the Membrane Vessel (3), by screwing it n
cl ckwise (hand tight). Again, excessive f rce is n t required t achieve a g d seal. D
NOT use pipe d pe r Tefl n tape n the threads.
4. The Fleck 5810XTR2 C ntr l Valve (1) can n w be attached t the t p f the Membrane
Vessel (3). Apply a very small am unt (very thin c at) f f d-grade silic ne lubricant t
the large -ring n the underside f the base f the C ntr l Valve (1). D NOT use
petr leum based lubricants. Screw the C ntr l Valve (1) nt the t p f the Membrane
Vessel (3) in a cl ckwise directi n – make sure that the riser tube inside the tank inserts
int the center h le in the c ntr l valve as y u screw d wn the valve. C ntinue turning
until y u start t feel resistance. Then grasp the base f the c ntr l valve and turn 1/4 t
1/2 turn further until snug. The fr nt f the c ntr l valve sh uld face the “UltraPlus”

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Check all J hn Guest fittings t make sure the c llet has been tightened and the fitting has been
secured. Check all Asc s len id valve fittings as well.
Turn ff the h useh ld main water shut ff valve. Open several plumbing fixtures inside the h me
as well as the utside faucets t drain as much water ut f the plumbing system as p ssible.
If y u have a c nventi nal electric water heater r an n-demand (tankless) electric water heater,
we highly rec mmend that y u turn ff the electricity t the heater while installing any water
treatment equipment. F ll wing c mpleti n f the entire installati n, rest re the water fl w by
turning n the h useh ld main water valve and all w all air t be purged fr m the plumbing
system bef re turning the p wer back n t y ur water heater. Failure t f ll w this pr cedure
c uld result in seri us, permanent damage t the heating elements in y ur water heater.
Plumb the inlet, utlet and drain c nnecti ns using suitable plumbing pipe/tubing and fittings.
Use nly Tefl n tape as a sealant n any threads. D NOT use liquid pipe d pe. Be sure t f ll w
all l cal plumbing c des.

16
VERY IMPORTANT:
If y u use c pper piping and will be s ldering the j ints, DO NOT
apply heat near y ur C ntr l Valve, S len id Valves, r any Assemblies r
seri us internal damage t these parts c uld ccur. Always s lder j ints
with these c mp nents detached.
The drain line sh uld be n less than 3/4" pipe diameter. A drain standpipe f r a washing
machine, fl r drain, r sump pump are excellent drain pti ns. We rec mmend that the drain
line be c nnected t a minimum 1 1/2" drain standpipe r fl r drain l cated ideally bel w the
t p f the c ntr l valve f y ur system. If p ssible, the drain sh uld be n farther than 20 feet
fr m the filter system.
While p lyethylene tubing r c pper pipe is suitable f r the drain line, we rec mmend PEX r rigid
PVC r CPVC pipe. If y u are using flexible tubing, be sure that there are n “kinks” r “crimps” in
the tubing after installati n that c uld cause a fl w restricti n. If used, verhead drain lines are
n t t exceed a height f 5 feet ab ve the c ntr l valve and sh uld be n m re than 50 feet in
length. Sh uld an verhead drain line be utilized, it is rec mmended that the drain line be
increased in size (diameter), and that it n t be fastened flush t the b tt m f a fl r j ist, t
minimize n ise transfer during the flush cycles.
Ensure that the drain line is secured al ng its r ute t the drain. The drain line will be under
pressure when the flush cycles are w rking, theref re make sure the drain line is well secured s it
cann t m ve ar und when pressurized. If n t adequately secured, the drain line c uld vibrate
during a flush cycle and cause excessive n ise. If this is experienced, use additi nal fasteners t
better secure the drain line. The drain line sh uld n t be exp sed t freezing temperatures.
Note: Never connect the dr in line directly into dr in pipe. Allow n ir g p between the dr in
tubing nd w ste line to prevent the possibility of b ck-siphoning. We do not recommend use of
check v lve s it m y become clogged with cont min nts ejected from the system during
b ck/forw rd flush. A minimum ir g p of 2x the di meter of the dr in line should be provided.
Be sure to dhere to the plumbing code pplic ble in your re .
Place the bypass valve in the “bypass” p siti n by turning the 2 blue handles n the Bypass
Assembly (2) s they are perpendicular t the directi n f water fl w.
SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTIONS
Y ur system will have either ne r 2 s len id valves depending n whether y u are using the
pti nal F rward Flush Kit.
N te: the Back Flush and F rward Flush s len ids l k identical but have different internal
functi ns, s they cann t be interchanged!

flush s len id and the ne in the back is f r the f rward flush s len id. The wire(s) fr m
the s len id c ntr l b x(es) will be secured t the c ntr l valve with a cable gland and nut.
These parts are shipped attached t the wire fr m the s len id wiring kit c ntr l b x.
3. F r each s len id, insert the wire upwards thr ugh the C ntr l Valve (1) head base plate,
all wing the threaded end f the cable gland t insert thr ugh the h le. Use the gland nut
t secure the cable gland as sh wn bel w.
4. L sen the cable gland(s) s that y u can extend the wire(s) f rward t the b tt m left
c rner f the t uch screen c ntr l panel and circuit b ard. N te the l cati n f the

5. The t uch screen c ntr l panel and circuit b ard can be rem ved t facilitate access t the
back f the circuit b ard f r the final wiring by depressing the 2 tabs at the t p f the panel
and pulling it f rward and upward. C nnect the wires fr m the s len id c ntr l b x(es) t
the terminal bl ck n the back f the circuit b ard as n ted bel w and re-c nnect the
t uch screen c ntr l panel and circuit b ard by snapping it back int p siti n. Ensure
there is a little play in the wires and that n ne f the wires are pinched, etc. Tighten the
cable glands t s lidly secure the cables.
6. C nnect the s len id wire(s) fr m the c ntr l b x(es) t the s len id valves. Place the
rubber gasket (in parts bag) between the s len id valve c il (green) and the plug n the
end f the wire fr m the c ntr l b x. Secure the c nnecti n with the screw pr vided.
START UP THE SYSTEM
The Fleck 5810XTR2 C ntr l Valve (1) c mes with a 10
f t l ng electrical c rd. Plug the c ntr l valve p wer
c rd int the C ntr l Valve (1). The electrical p rt n the
C ntr l Valve (1) is l cated n the right side f the valve
(when y u are facing the c ntr l panel), just behind
the tab used t rem ve the valve c ver. It is a bit
tricky t find… see the diagram t the right:
Plug in the p wer c rd(s) fr m the S len id Wiring Kit
c ntr l b x(es), and the C ntr l Valve (1) int standard,
gr unded 120 v lt (60 Hz) electrical utlets. Be certain
that the utlets are uninterrupted and n t c ntr lled by a

20
switch. An extensi n c rd may be used t reach a suitable electrical utlet. Ensure that the
extensi n c rd is UL/CSA certified and f an appr priate wire gauge f r the applicati n.
Once plugged in, the t uch screen display n the C ntr l Valve (1) will illuminate. The C ntr l
Valve (1) may need t reset its pist n t the h me p siti n when it is p wered up. If it d es, the
m t r will run f r a few sec nds. This is n rmal.
The C ntr l Valve (1) has been pre-pr grammed f r y u, h wever, y u will need t set the time f
day and select the time f day that y u prefer f r the flush cycle t be d ne. We n rmally
rec mmend that the self-cleaning flush cycle be d ne in the middle f the night when it is unlikely
that ther water fl ws will be ccurring. The default time is 2:00 am.
The t uch screen is shipped with a pr tective plastic film n it that can be peeled ff.
The f ll wing is the primary “H me Screen” r Main Menu:
Items displayed in blue r grey can be t uched t edit r btain m re inf rmati n. Items
displayed in black are f r inf rmati n purp ses nly and cann t be selected.
In the t p left c rner f the screen, y u will find the current day f the week and time.
In the t p right c rner, there is an indicat r that will tell y u when the next “regenerati n” r flush
cycle is scheduled t ccur.
In the middle if the screen is the regenerati n cycle wheel which indicates the current valve cycle
(indicated in green), and ther applicable cycles (in black).
