Systems With A Regenerant Tank
1. Manually pour enough water into the regenerant tank to reach the top of the air check valve.
2. Press and hold the REGEN button for three seconds until the drive motor starts. Press the REGEN button to advance the unit to
the backwash cycle. Wait until the motor stops and the backwash time begins to count down.
3. Open the inlet water supply valve very slowly allowing water to fi ll the tank in order to expel air. CAUTION: If water fl ows too
rapidly, there will be a loss of media out of the drain.
4. When the water is fl owing steadily to the drain without the presence of air, press the REGEN button to advance the control to
brine position. Wait until the motor stops and the brine time begins to count down.
5. Fully open the water supply inlet valve. Check that water is being drawn from the regenerant tank & there should be a slow fl ow
to the drain. Allow three minutes for the media bed to settle.
6. Press the REGEN button to advance the unit to the rinse position. Allow water to run to drain for 2 - 3 minutes, or until the drain
runs clear.
