Sediment Filtration
swtwater.com Automatic Flush Valve
The Automatic Flush Valve (AFV) is designed for use with SWT's Inline Centrifugal Sediment Filters when manual flushing is inconvenient, impractical, or undesirable. The AFV makes sediment filter maintenance easy and automatic. Simply attach the AFV to the centrifugal filter's purge valve, program a cycle time, and the filter will automatically flush at the selected time interval. Made in USA.

Installation
 
This unit may be mounted horizontally or vertically. Vertical installation is recommended for optimum performance. All necessary connections and tubing are provided in the AFV Hose Kit (P/N UR-AFV-HOSE KIT). If purchasing from another source, please make sure that 1/2 inch braid reinforced flexible PVC tubing with a 215 psi rating is used.

2. Secure flexible tubing to barb fittings at hose end with clamps.
 
WARNING: Do not apply electrical power to the unit unless the unit is fully assembled and mounted. Always disconnect power source before working on this unit. The valve is under pressure. Discharge of fluids will occur during any cycling of the valve when unit is installed.
 
Operation
Plug the cord set into a proper power source. The automatic flush valve will cycle and the timing sequence will begin. To change the timing sequence, simply change the code setting (0-9) 1 minute to 14 days, and the timer will reset. The purge button may be used to cycle the unit at any time. Flush time is 7 seconds and cannot be adjusted.
 
Maintenance
Periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure long, dependable service from the automatic flush valve. Check power cord for breaks in the outer jacket or damage to the plug. The valve should be checked for leakage at the downstream side and all connections from the valve to the filter.
