Control Valve Installation
1. Remove the temporary shipping cap. The 32mm
riser will come preinstalled in your tank. The appropriate
amount of resin is factory installed in the tank up to 48,000
grain sizes. 64,000 grain and larger systems may have been
partially loaded with resin and a media funnel and
additional instruction provided to add the full amount of
remaining resin. The actual resin in the tank may vary due
to shipping conditions but the proper level will range from
just above 1/2 to 2/3 full in the tank.
2. Install Valve Base O-ring around the neck of the valve.
3. Lubricate the center hub O-ring of the Genesis Upflow
valve.
4. Install the top basket with a twist and lock action to center
hub of the Genesis Upflow valve.
5. Do not use teflon tape or pipe sealant to attach control
valve to tank.
6. Place Genesis Upflow valve onto tank with the distributor pipe
inserted down the middle of the top basket. Rotate
clockwise to secure onto
the tank.
Do not overtighten! Overtightening may cause the valve
to crack and void the warranty.
