Instructions / Assembly

8. Installing the Battery (FOR SY-2650 ONLY)
(A) Remove cover on top of system. Attach 9-volt battery (included) to connector, then place
battery in holder located to the left of the monitor panel as shown (Fig. 8A).
(B) Replace cover on top of system. Using a pen or pencil, press and release the blue reset button
on the front of the system (Fig. 8B). The electronic monitor should beep twice. If the monitor
has been reset properly, the two beeps will be followed by a sequence of two green, two
yellow, and two red lights. The monitor should be reset whenever a new set of filter cartridges
is installed.
9. Putting the System into Operation
(A) Slowly turn on cold water supply.
(B) Shut off cold water faucet opened before starting installation.
(C) Rotate base of drinking water faucet counter-clockwise to “ON” position. Allow water to run
for 5 minutes to flush air and carbon fines from filter cartridges. Turn off drinking water faucet.
Check system for leaks before leaving installation.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or
cooking purposes.
Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy. If you set a glass of water on a level surface, you
should be able to watch the cloudiness disappear from the bottom of the glass upwards. This
harmless cloudiness results from the release of trapped air within the cartridge and will
disappear within a few weeks after installation.
INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE.

Electronic Monitor Operations (For SY-2650 ONLY)
The SY-2650 system includes an electronic monitor that alerts you when it is time to change your
filter cartridges. Both filter cartridges should be changed at the same time to ensure that the
monitor works properly. The monitor measures actual water usage and is powered by a single
9-volt battery.
How the Electronic Monitor Works
The filter cartridges in the SY-2650 should be replaced every 500 gallons. The electronic monitor
uses a combination of lights and alarms to alert you at different stages during the life of the filter
cartridges. The lights are visible on the front panel of the filter system, to the left of the blue reset
button:
0-475 gallons No alarm. Green light flashes when water is turned on.
475-500 gallons Alarm BEEPS ONCE when water is turned on. Yellow light flashes when
water is on.
500+ gallons Alarm BEEPS TWICE when water is turned on. Red light flashes when water
is on.
Low or Dead battery No alarm. No lights. Replace battery.
NOTE: Gallons used while battery is dead will register on meter when battery is replaced
NOTE: To extend battery life, any sequence that includes any beeps will not be repeated if
water is turned on again in less than 15 minutes.
Reset Button
The blue reset button is located on the front panel of the system. This button should only be
pressed during initial installation or when new filter cartridges are installed. After pressing and
releasing the button, you will hear two beeps followed by a sequence of two green, two yellow,
and two red lights. This combination of beeps and lights indicates that the system has properly
reset the internal gallon counter.
Replacing the Battery
The battery should be replaced every time new filter cartridges are
installed or after 12 months of operation, whichever comes first.
Replacing Battery and Filters at the Same Time: Install new 9-volt
battery as described in Step Eight: Installing the Battery on p. 4.
Make sure to press blue reset button on front panel of system when
finished.
Replacing Battery Only: Remove the old battery and install the
new battery. DO NOT press the reset button on the front panel of the
system when finished.
