10. Proceed to the Programming instructions. After program
ming, the system should be disinfected.
To Disinfect the System:
1. Add 1.2 fluid ounce of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution
(household bleach; Clorox, Bo Peep, etc.) for each cubic
foot of resin to the brine well of the brine tank. ( the 4” tube
with a cap on it inside of the brine tank)
2. Press “REGEN” for 3 seconds to start a normal regenera-
tion. Allow the system to complete the regeneration.
Make sure that the electrical outlet used
is an uninterrupted outlet (such as outlet
that is operated by a switch).
All electrical connections must be connected
according to local codes.
Note:
When pushing the “REGEN” button to
advance cycles, let the control reach the
next cycle before pushing the “REGEN”
button again.
Note:
The materials of construction of the modern water
conditioner will not promote bacterial growth, nor
will these materials contaminate a water supply.
However, the normal conditions that exist during
shipment, storage and installation make it advis-
able to disinfect a conditioner after installation,
before the conditioner is used to treat potable
water. In addition, during normal use, a conditioner
may become fouled with organic matter, or in some
cases, with bacteria from the water supply. There-
fore every conditioner should be disinfected after
installation, some will require periodic disinfection
during their normal life.
