2-3
Step 14
Set TIME OF DAY (refer to appropriate HOW TO SET TIME CLOCK REGENERATION CONTROL, Section 3). When shifting to daylight
saving time (and back), you may wish to adjust TIME OF DAY accordingly.
IMPORTANT NOTE
TIME OF REGENERATION is pre-set for 2:00 a.m. because at this time water consumption is generally minimal (a built-in hard water
bypass does, however, permit water to be drawn during regeneration). Should the application require
regular
use of water during
the 2:00 to 3:00 a.m. regeneration period, or if other water treatment equipment is also set for 2:00 a.m. regeneration, the TIME OF
REGENERATION will need changing. To change, adjust time of day on 24-HOUR GEAR ahead or behind actual time of day. For
example, if 1:00 a.m. regeneration is desired and actual time of day is 10:00 a.m.,
advance
24-HOUR GEAR one hour to 11:00 a.m.;
or, should 3:00 a.m. regeneration be desired, set gear
back
one hour to 9:00 a.m.
Step 15
Before loading salt, using a pail or garden hose, add enough water to brine tank to cover the air check in the brine well by approx. one
(1) inch. Then add initial salt fi ll to brine tank, and one cup full of unscented laundry bleach to brine well.
Step 16
RESTORE FUEL SUPPLY OR POWER TO WATER HEATER. Put softener through complete regeneration to sanitize the system before
use (Refer to HOW TO SET TIME CLOCK REGENERATION CONTROL for instructions on manual regeneration).
Installation is now complete, and the water softener is now ready for service!
