6. - SOFTENER START-UP

 

 

Once the hydraulic circuit has been realised, connected to a power source and the microprocessor has been programmed, 
the system can be started up. Follow the steps as described below: 

 

6.1. -  How to start up the softener.

 

 

 

Bleed the air bottle

 

 

-

 

- Make sure that the softener’s inlet and outlet valves are closed and the bypass is open to assure that there is 

water in the system. 

 

-

 

Hold  the 

MANUAL  REGENRATION 

button  for  5  seconds;  after  so  a  manual  regeneration  will  begin.  The 

controller will send an order so that the piston moves to the CYCLE 1 position, 

BACKWASH.

 

 

 
 

Keep in mind that the motor takes a while to move onto the next cycle, and it is indicated that is moving with 

the  flashing  message  "GO  TO  +  NEXT  CYCLE  NAME".  Until  that  message  disappears  from  the  screen,  you 

cannot advance to the next cycle 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

-

 

  Once the piston is allocated in the backwash position, open the inlet valve very slowly a ¼ of the way allowing 

water to enter the system. 

 

-

 

Allow all of the air to be released from the resins bottle. Once all of the air has been bled (Water starts flowing 

slowly through the drain), slowly open the supply valve fully. 

 

-

 

Let the water drain away until it turns completely clear. 

 

 

WARNING: If the valve is opened too much or too quickly resin can be lost.  In this position 
you must hear how the air escapes slowly through the drain line. 

 

 

Start up

 

 

-

 

Next, PRESS & RELEASE the 

MANUAL REGENERATION 

button to manually advance the regeneration cycles. 

Repeat this operation until you reach CYCLE 4, 

REFILL 

in order to bleed the brine line of air.  Let  the  water 

flow and bleeds all of the air bubbles from the  suction line. Once bled: 

 

-

 

Let the system fill the brine tank itself. Afterwards, advance the cycle to 

SERVICE.

 

 

 

-

 

Next,  you  must  check  that  the  system  is  sucking.  In  the 

SERVICE 

position,  press  the 

MANUAL 

REGENERATION 

button  for  5  seconds  to  start  another  regeneration  and  advance  the  cycles  to  CYCLE  2, 

BRINE

,  just as we’ve described before. Visually verify the system is sucking water from the salt tank and is 

able to remove the water from the brine tank completely. The suction must be constant and the water level in 

the tank must go down. For a further good subsequent performance, it is critical to check this. If you take air in 

the  suction  line,  cancel  the  regeneration  by  advancing  the  cycles  to  SERVICE,  review  and  tighten  the 

components of the suction line and then perform the check.
