Installation Record

4 Installation & Operation Manual Copyright © Puretec Pty Ltd 2020
Before Installation
Professional Installation Required
• Installation requires shutting water o, cutting the water supply pipe and using a
welding torch to add piping and ttings. Specialised tools and skills are required.
Installation should only be performed by a qualied tradesperson.
Make Sure the Water Has Been Thoroughly Tested
• An analysis of the water should be made prior to the selection of the water
treatment equipment. Puretec dealers can usually perform this service and may
send a sample for analysis and recommendations. Enter analysis information on
page 4 for a permanent record.
Before Installation
Facts to Remember While Planning Your Installation:
• All installation procedures MUST conform to local plumbing codes.
• If lawn sprinkling, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for other
devices/activities are to be treated by the water system, a larger model MUST be
selected to accommodate the higher ow rate plus the back washing requirements.
Contact Puretec for assistance.
Installation Note: A water lter system/tap, like any product, has a limited lifespan
and if not replaced, will eventually fail. Failure can happen early due to unforeseen
circumstances. To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly
examined for leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. We strongly
recommend that a drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outtted with a leak
detector, be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage.
We also strongly recommend that the water supply be turned o, upstream to the water
lter system/tap, if no one is home for an extended period of time.
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE. FAULTY
OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY
COVERAGE.
Note: For point of entry installations an approved dual check backow prevention device
must be installed. When line pressure exceeds 860 kPa, a pressure limiting valve must be
installed.

5Copyright © Puretec Pty Ltd 2020 CFS / IRS / IRX / SFS Series User Guide
• The control valve, ttings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing
misalignment but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
• Do not use petroleum jelly, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere.
A silicon lubricant may be used on the black o-rings but it is not necessary.
• Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Thread seal tape is the preferred
sealant but is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
• All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for
the drain line should be a minimum of 1”.
• Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on lter system.
• Install grounding strap on metal pipes if required.
• Ensure the system is protected against high pressure and extreme temperatures.

Media Installation
The Media has been shipped separately to avoid damage in transit.
The length of the internal riser pipe is pre-set and does not need adjustment.
Install Water Treatment Equipment Correctly
1. Select the location of your water treatment system with care. Various conditions
which contribute to proper location are as follows:
2. Install as close as possible to a drain on a level surface.
3. Install in correct relationship to other water treatment equipment. Contact
Puretec for assistance.
4. Install the treatment system in the supply line BEFORE the water heater.
Temperatures above 110°F (43.3°C) will damage the system and void the
warranty.
5. DO NOT install the treatment system in a location where freezing temperatures
occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage and will also void the warranty.
6. DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur without installing an
arrestor
7. Allow sucient space around the installation for easy servicing. Provide a non-
switched 240V power source for the control valve.
Continued next page.
1. Position the system on a at surface close to a
drain or a properly trapped outlet, in a position
when the system can service all lines requiring
treated water. The system should be placed far
enough away from any water heaters to avoid
any hot water back ow into the system. A
weatherproof power point and surge protector is
recommended.
2. Plug or cover the top end of the riser pipe in the
tank making sure no media can enter the tube.
3. Ensure that the riser pipe is sitting in the cradle
at the base of the tank. Then using a wide
mouth funnel, place the media in the tank as per
the vessel media lling order chart (page 12).

Operation and Maintainance
Power Loss
Your Puretec electronic control valve maintains the time for up to 8 hours using the internal PCB
battery if power is interrupted. Nonvolatile memory stores the stats & programming & are not
aected by power outages. Aer 8 hours of backup use, replace the battery with a type 2032,
3-volt lithium coin cell battery. If the time ashes on & o aer a power loss the time of day
should be reset & the at battery replaced.
In the unlikely event of a power loss during backwash, when power is restored, a dry-reset should
be performed (refer to page 16 ), followed by a manual backwash/regeneration (refer to page 13)
if convenient.
Start-up
Now programming is completed (if required) you are ready to start the system.
1. Open the nearest tap downstream of the lter system (aer the lter system).
2. Allow water to ow through the system slowly, and allow all air to escape out of the closest
tap. Wait until the water is owing out of the tap and then increase the ow slowly up to full
ow. Allow to run for 5 - 10 minutes.
3. Close the opened tap and check for leaks.
4. Conduct a full manual regeneration.
5. Your system is ready for use.
Regeneration
E1 Valve (Regeneration Time: 20 mins)
This valve is factory set to regenerate every third day. The required frequency of regeneration is
dependant on the level of contaminates and the amount of water used.
To change the regeneration setting refer to the ‘programming’ section.

‘Dry’ Reset Procedure
From time to time, the valve
may display an error code
for various reasons. The first
troubleshooting step is to
perform a ‘dry’ reset.
Remove the faceplate, opening the tabs on either side of the
valve. This will expose the Power Circuit board with a number of
wires connected.
On the bottom right hand corner is a 4 pin adaptor labelled
‘12VAC PWR’, disconnect the adaptor and reconnect after 5
seconds. The valve will then whir twice, and should return to the
normal screen.
If the error message is still present, refer to the troubleshooting
guide
