NOTE: THIS FILTER IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED FOR TREATING WATER THAT

IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY WITHOUT

ADEQUATE DISINFECTION WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.

Filter Positioning:

1. Place water filter in desired position, far enough from walls and other

obstructions to allow for servicing the unit.

2. Place the water filter within reasonable access to a grounded 115V/60

HZ circuit and a legal drain line connection.

Filter Tank Loading:

1. Remove yellow caplug from top of tank. DO NOT CUT white riser

tube. Tube was prefitted at the factory.

2. The distributor is permanently attached to the vortech----centering is

not necessary. The top of the distributor will be 5/8” above the top of

the tank (this was prefitted at the factory).

3. Cover the top opening of the distributor pipe before filling the tank

with media.

4. Pour the appropriate media provided with the unit into the top of the

tank.

pipe.

Clarifier Control Valve:

1. When facing the front of the MCA timer, the inlet connection is

located on the right and the outlet connection is on the left. The

control valve's inlet and outlet connections are either 1” copper, PVC,

male threaded elbow, or sharkbite equipped with o’ring seal and nut.

Turn the control valve upside down and ensure that the control valve

distributor o’ring is in place. Use silicone lubricant on the o'ring.

**DO NOT USE PETROLEUM!**

**USE ONLY SILICONE **

2. Place the control valve onto the distributor pipe and into the tank

opening.

3. Thread the control valve hand tight . Do not overtighten.

4. Locate the bypass valve assembly that is packaged with the

control valve. The bypass valve has two red handles that

indicate flow direction, two threaded connections for the tail

piece kit and two o’ring seal connections with nuts for the control

valve. Align the insert connection ends with o’ring seals and

nuts to the inlet and outlet connections of the control valve.

Hand tighten the nuts. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE NUT!

5. Locate the tail piece kit that is packaged with the control valve.

The standard tail piece kit is 1” copper with optional 1” PVC or ¾”

copper kits available as a special order. Each tail piece,

o’ring, split ring and nut is presassembled at the factory. Align a

tail piece assembly to the bypass valve threaded inlet and insert

until the nut can be tightened. Hand tighten the nut because

excessive tightening will damage the assembly. REPEAT THE

PROCEDURE FOR THE OUTLET CONNECTION.

Service and Drain Piping:

1. Pipe water filter into the service lines. The inlet and outlet

connections of the control valve are 1” copper, PVC, male threaded

elbow, or sharkbite and are located on the back of the valve body. As

you face the timer the inlet is on the right and the outlet is on the left.

Always follow local plumbing codes when installing our water

treatment equipment.

2. If sweat fittings are used, be sure soldering is done in such a manner

as not to allow heat to reach the control valve or bypass. (If

Schedule 80 PVC is used make sure to follow the proper primer and

solvent instructions.)

3. The drain line connection is ¾” npt or (optional ) 5/8 OD and is

located on the top left of the valve as you face the timer. It is

recommended you install a ¾” union on the drain line for servicing if

not using 5/8 OD. The drain line must be of adequate size to allow

for full regeneration flow.

•The control valve drain connection is 3/4" npt.

•Never decrease the drain piping size to below the drain connection size.

•Maximum drain line length is 30 feet with slope the enire length.

•Maximum drain line height is 6 feet above the control valve.

•The drain line must be piped to an open air gap (See Figure above)

•Always follow local plumbing codes.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THERE BE A DIRECT

CONNECTION WITH SANITARY SEWAGE FACILITIES.

TYPICAL PIPING LAYOUT FOR

Treated

Electrical Requirements:

Always follow all local electrical codes when installing our water

treatment equipment.

1. Provide an 115v/60Hz properly grounded dedicated electrical

Outlet. (It’s very important that the polarity be correct)

Avoid using outlets that are switch controlled.

2. Maximum amperage required is 5 amps.

3. Make sure the electrical service provides power 24 hours per day.

We recommend installing a surge protector to protect unit from

power surges, which are not covered by warranty.

Filling Filter with Water:

1. Connect the MCA control valve transformer into the electrical outlet

provided.

2. Press and hold the Up and Down arrows simultaneously for three

seconds until the drive motor starts. When the drive motor stops, the

display will read “C1” backwash position.

3. Open the inlet ball valve a ¼ turn of its full open position to allow

water to enter the water filter mineral tank slowly. The water is going

to enter the tank from the bottom of the distributor pipe and leave the

tank from the top. This will slowly purge all the air from the tank.

IF WATER ENTERS THE TANK TOO FAST, ALL THE RESIN WILL

BE FLUSHED TO DRAIN DURING START UP.

4. When only water is running to the drain, open the inlet and outlet ball

valves fully.

5. Once the drive motor stops, press the Up button to advance the

control valve to the fast rinse position. The display will read “C4”.

The fast rinse position will rinse the filter tank.

NOTE: THE TIMER WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADVANCE TO THE

SERVICE POSITION AND THE DISPLAY WILL READ TIME OF DAY.

Control Valve Timer Settings:

Note: The control valve is set at the factory. You only need to set the

time of day and regeneration time if required, which is preset at 1 am.

Time of Day Setting

1) Press and hold the CLOCK button. The screen will display “Set

Time” and the hour will be blinking.

2) Press the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust the hour —check for

correct am or pm mode.

3) Press the CLOCK button.

4) Press the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust the minutes.

5) Press the CLOCK button.

Time of Regeneration Setting (the factory default is 1 AM)

Simultaneously press the CLOCK and the UP arrow for 3 seconds:

The screen will display “Set Time Regen” and the hour will be blinking.

1) Use the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust hour.

2) Press the CLOCK button.

3) Press the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust the minutes.

4) Press the CLOCK button.

Regeneration Frequency Setting (the factory default is every 7 days)

The screen will display “Set Regen Day” and the days of

regeneration frequency will be blinking.

1) To change the number, use the UP or DOWN arrows.

2) Press the CLOCK button.

3) Set up is complete and the screen will now show the time.

Final Check:

1. Make sure the drain line connection meets all plumbing codes and

that the drain line size can handle the backwash flow rate of the filter.

2. Make sure the Inlet and Outlet on bypass valves are open.

3. Make sure the control valve timer is plugged into an dedicated

electrical outlet with power 24 hours per day.

4. Check all piping for leaks.
