4. Setup and Installation
The Runxin automatic filter valve is designed for top-mounted installation on compatible filter tanks. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
4.1 Pre-installation Checklist
- Verify that the filter tank is compatible with a 2.5"-8NPSM base and a 1.05"OD central pipe.
- Ensure the inlet and outlet plumbing are 1"F (female thread) and align with the "Right in, Left out" flow direction.
- Confirm that the power supply meets the requirements: Input AC100~240V/50~60HZ, Output DC12V/1.5A.
- Inspect all components for any damage before installation.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Filter Tank: Ensure the filter tank is clean and ready for valve installation. Insert the central pipe into the tank.
- Mount the Valve: Carefully screw the valve onto the top of the filter tank, ensuring the central pipe aligns correctly with the valve's internal mechanism. Tighten securely to prevent leaks.
- Connect Plumbing: Connect the water inlet pipe to the designated "IN" port (right side) and the water outlet pipe to the "OUT" port (left side). Connect the drain line to the drain port. Use appropriate thread sealant for all connections.
- Connect Power: Plug the DC12V/1.5A power adapter into the valve and then into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Initial System Check: Slowly open the main water supply to the filter system and check for any leaks.

5.5 Operational Status Indicators (F68Q1 / F116Q1 / F67Q1)
The display will show a number corresponding to the current operational stage:
- 1 - 表示运行 (Indicates Running): The valve is in normal service mode, filtering water.
- 2 - 表示反洗 (Indicates Backwash): The valve is performing a backwash cycle to clean the filter media.
- 3 - 表示吸盐 (Indicates Brine Suction): (Applicable to F68Q1/F116Q1) The valve is drawing brine solution for regeneration.
- 4 - 表示正洗 (Indicates Fast Rinse): The valve is performing a fast rinse to flush out residual brine and prepare for service.
- 5 - 表示补水 (Indicates Refill): (Applicable to F68Q1/F116Q1) The valve is refilling the brine tank with water.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your Runxin automatic filter valve.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the valve and connections for any signs of leaks, cracks, or wear.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the control panel clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Power Supply: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and free from damage.
- Filter Media: Follow the maintenance schedule for your specific filter media (e.g., activated carbon, sand filter) as recommended by the filter manufacturer. The automatic valve will manage the regeneration cycles, but the media itself may require periodic replacement or deep cleaning.
- Salt Level (if applicable): For models that perform brine suction (e.g., F68Q1/F116Q1), regularly check and replenish the salt level in the brine tank.
7. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your automatic filter valve. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
