Overflow Connection.
The overflow connection is the white ½” hose spigot on the rear or side of
the cabinet. A clip is not required for this connection. The overflow must be
run downhill through an outside wall without kinks or restrictions. It is
recommended the overflow hose be visible when it exits the outside wall.
Electrical Connection.
Connect the transformer provided to a continuous electrical supply with the
power off. Plug the flying lead from the transformer into the electrical
connection on the controller (see programming instructions). Ensure the
flying lead cannot get caught on the camshaft or any moving parts on the
Softener valve.
Preparing the Softener to go into service.
Now that all the connections have been completed put approximately 5 litres of
water into the brine tank. You may also at this point put a quantity of salt into
the tank. Do not allow the salt level in the brine tank to exceed the height of the
overflow. The amount of salt used will depend on the type and model of
Softener you have, you should never let the brine tank become completely
empty of salt and it is advisable to check the salt levels on a regular basis until
a usage pattern has been established, normally the salt level should be above
the water line.
Putting the Softener into service.
You should now complete any programming instructions that may apply to
your particular Softener. During the commissioning process and initial
regeneration you can confirm that the unit has no leaks from the installed
valves and that waste water runs freely. This regeneration will also assist in
cleaning any potential air locks that may be present within the system.
The regeneration will also reset any internal meter or timer devises that
dictate the frequency of the regeneration cycle.
