- Control Valve Operation -
1. Advance control valve to BACKWASH (cycle 1) position and allow water to run to drain for 3 to 4 minutes.
Warning :
Close valve on bypass prior to selecting the backwash position. After backwash position has been
established, slightly open bypass to evacuate air from the media tank. Fully open valve when all air
is depleted. This procedure will prevent media from being uplifted into control valve.
2. Advance control valve to BRINE REFILL (cycle 4) position and allow the brine tank to fill just over the salt grid plate.
3. Advance control valve to BRINE & RINSE (cycle 2) and allow the control valve to draw water from the brine tank until it
stops. If no draw is observed, check tightness of brine line compression fittings.
4. Advance control valve to RAPID RINSE (cycle 3) position and let run to drain for 3 - 4 minutes.
5. Advance control valve to BRINE TANK REFILL (cycle 4) position and allow the control valve to automatically fill the
brine tank.
Note:
Control valve will advance to service position automatically.

- Filling The Brine Tank With Salt -
To expect a high level of performance and reliability, a salt manufactured specifically for water softeners must be used.
Salt of this grade is virtually free from dirt and other particulates that would eventually cause the softener to malfunction.
A pellet type salt is recommended, although any high quality water softener salt (such as solar salt) will suffice. If iron is
present in raw water, use of iron inhibiting salt is recommended. The salt level will decrease after each regeneration cycle.
Consequently, the salt compartment will need to be checked and replenished periodically.
1. Fill the brine tank or salt compartment with water softener salt as described above. This will be approximately 250
pounds of salt. (150 lbs. for cabinet models.)
Warning :
Do not fill salt above level of the brine well.
2. Replace brine tank lid.
