INSTALLATION STEPS

Reattach Top Cap

1. Reposition the top cap into

its original location.

Final System Check

1. Once installation is complete, allow proper time for glue to dry

according to manufacturer instructions.

2. Push down on the red

depressurization button on the top

cap to relieve the system of air.

Keep the button pushed down as

you slowly turn the water back on.

DO NOT release the button until

all air pressure is fully released

and water comes out of the red

depressurization button.

3. Release the red button and inspect the system for leaks. After

inspecting for leaks, allow water to run through the system for 10

minutes for the final flushing period.

2. Reattach top tank snap ring. Pull up

on the top cap to seat the O-rings.

Water Meter

The totalizer keeps track of the gallons

using a water meter. The water meter

is a turbine style meter with a magnetic

pickup that sends a pulse to the

electronics for every revolution of the

meter turbine. The meter turbine is

removable for inspection and cleaning.

Make sure water is bypassed or

turned off when removing the meter

for maintenance. The meter has a

three pin plug that connects to the

electronic board.

Power Monitoring & Battery Mode

The board monitors the 12V dc power

and the battery power. If there is a

power failure and no batteries are

installed, the current totalizer value

will be saved to non-volatile memory.

When power is resumed, the totalizer

count will resume from when it had

previously lost power.

The LEDs should shut off during

battery mode. If the totalizer is to the

yellow or red state or if the battery

voltage gets low, the LEDs will flash

on in the appropriate colors for

0.125 seconds every 4 seconds. If the

pushbutton is pressed in battery mode,

the LEDs will turn on for 4 seconds and

then return to battery mode.

Pushbutton

The pushbutton allows for the totalizer

to be reset.

To reset the totalizer, the user should

press and hold the button for 3

seconds. When the totalizer is reset

LEDs should flash green 3 times to

confirm it is reset.

OPERATION

LEDs

Normal colors for the LEDs are Green,

Yellow, and Red. Depending on the

Totalizer value.

• Green

= 0–90% of the totalizer max

• Yellow

= 90–100% of the totalizer max

• Red

>= 100% of the totalizer max

If there is flow, the LEDs should

alternately turn off in the following

pattern: 1-2-3-2 (repeat). The

frequency that they turn off is linearly

correspondent to the flow rate being

received from the water meter. For

every 1 revolution from the meter, the

LED pattern should be incriminated to

turn off the next LED. If there are no

pulse edges for 2 seconds, all the LEDs

will turn on solid.

If the battery is low, the middle LED (#2)

will turn White. The battery is checked

only once an hour to minimize the

battery drain from checking the voltage.

Power

This unit is to be powered using +12V

DC. The power input is a wire tail with

a 2.5mm, center positive barrel jack.

The totalizer has a battery backup.

The battery backup uses 3 AAA size

batteries. The battery holder is a

part of the PCB assembly and can be

accessed by removing the lid to the

filter. Battery life will vary based on

water flow when running on battery

mode and type of batteries used. With

high continuous flow, the batteries are

expected to last approximately 14 days.

With no flow, the batteries are expected

to last approximately 6 months.
