Wipe the exterior of your clear filter canister dry. Place SediPulse vertically against the middle cylinder. Thread the 1" strap through both side loops with the non-slip rubber backing facing the canister. Pull firmly around the canister to compress the soft optical seal, and press the Velcro closure firmly onto itself to lock (no buckle needed). Plug in USB-C power.
On your phone or laptop, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to SediPulse-Setup. The portal opens automatically (or visit http://192.168.4.1). Select your 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi and save password. SediPulse joins your network and the status LED turns steady Blue.
With a fresh, brand-new sediment filter installed and the sump filled with clear water, press and hold the button for 5–9 seconds until the Blue LED flashes rapidly 3 times (or tap Calibrate Clean Filter in the app). This locks the 0% clean baseline permanently into onboard memory.
