1) With one nearby softened faucet running in the COLD position, slowly open your bypass valve or 3-valve bypass
to about ¼ open to allow the air trapped in the softener to escape via your running faucet.
nOTe: Opening the
bypass too quickly or too open may damage your softener or plumbing
2) Allow the softener tank to slowly fill with water. After a few minutes, you will see a trickle of water coming from
the cold water faucet. Allow the water to run slowly in this manner for an additional 5 minutes. Next, with the
cold water faucet still running, gradually move your bypass valve to the fully open position.
nOTe: You may see
some initial discoloration from the softened water – this is normal and should dissipate within the first
40-50 gallons of water used.
Turn off the running cold water faucet when the water runs clear

Your new softener with Autotrol 255/760 Valve is now properly installed and programmed!
Please maintain your system by keeping the softener plugged-in and always keep your brine
tank filled with salt to at least above the water level. We appreciate your business, and hope
that you enjoy years of trouble-free softened water!

To test the integrity of your new system and all connections
,
it is strongly encouraged that you
perform a short form regeneration to check for leaks before service.
Begin this process by adding ap-
proximately 5 gallons of water/the amount of water needed to cover the brine grid into the brine tank. Start the
regeneration sequence by HOLDING the REGEN button for 5 seconds. Once the hourglass symbol disappears,
let C1 - Backwash run for about 1 minute to observe the water leave out the drain line and check for leaks. If you
notice any leaks,
to review preparing the drain connection. Simultaneously click the SET and
UP buttons ONCE to move on to C2 - Regeneration Draw/Slow Rinse
4) Once the hourglass symbol disappears, let C2 - Regeneration Draw run for about 1 minute to observe the
water level in the brine tank being drawn lower. Also check the brine line and connections for leaks. If the
water level doesn't lower or there is a leak,
to review preparing the brine tank con-
nection. Simultaneously click the SET and UP buttons until you reach C8 - Regenerant Refill
5) Once the hourglass symbol disappears, let C8 - Regenerant Refill run for about 1 minute to observe the water
level in the brine tank rise. Also check the brine line and connections for leaks. If the water level doesn't rise or
there is a leak,
to review preparing the brine tank connection. Simultaneously click
the SET and UP buttons ONCE to finish
6) Now you may add 120-160 pounds of pellet, solar, or block salt to your brine tank.
Always keep your brine tank
filled with salt to at least above the water level.
You do not need to perform a regeneration immediately after
installation as the new resin arrives at full softening capacity. Simply let your softener meter automatically trigger
regenerations by tracking the water consumption
