Plug your CWS Plus control valve into an outlet. After being plugged in, the screen may display
“WAITING PLEASE” while it finds the service position. By default, the control valve will be set to
work like a Water Softener, but that’s not correct for this application. So, next you will need to
program the system to work as a Carbon Filter. There are a few settings that must be changed
before the system can be put into service.

PROGRAMMING:
a.
First, press the menu button labeled
once. If it says “SCREEN LOCKED,” you may
have to press and hold the upper left button labeled
about 3 seconds until a beep
sounds to unlock the display screen.
b.
NOTE: Use the up and down arrows to cycle through the various program settings. To
change any setting, press ‘
’. When the display flashes, the value may be changed.
Press either the up or down arrow to change the value. Press ‘
’ once more to accept
the value, and the display should stop flashing to indicate that the setting has been
saved.
c.
Step 1: REGIONAL US GAL (this stands for US gallons format, if it is different, change it
to US GAL). When it is set, press the down button to proceed to the next step.
d.
Step 2: The display should be set to: “CALENDAR CLOCK”. By default, the system is
most likely set to “METER IMMEDIATE” or “METER DELAYED.” We recommend
CALENDAR CLOCK for the operation of your Carbon Filter, to backwash a set number of
days. Change the setting, then press the down arrow to proceed to the next step.
e.
Step 3: TIME- set the time of day. Press the down button to proceed.
f.
Step 4: REG. TIME - Set to 2:00 AM
generally or sometime when no water is being used, and no
other filter or softener is likely to be in a regeneration cycle.
Then press the down button.
g.
Step 5: REG. DAYS - This tells the carbon filter how often to regenerate in days. It can be
set for any setting from 1 to 10, with 7 being the recommended common setting. If you
are having some problems with bleed-through of chlorine (or whatever else it is that is
being filtered out) after the carbon filter has been online for a few days, you may want
to change it to 2 or 3 days.
h.
Step 6: BACKWASH - Stands for Backwash length in minutes. It should be set to 10 MIN
which means 10 minutes of backwash. If your water is extremely high in iron you can
change this setting to 12 or 14 minutes to allow some extra backwash time, but 10
minutes is a good setting. Press the down button one time.
