STEP 10:
Plug the softener into an unswitched electrical outlet and slowly rotate the Manual
Regeneration Knob (see Fig. 5, page 7) clockwise just until one click is heard. This is the
“BACKWASH” position.
STEP 11:
Unplug the softener from the electrical outlet to keep it in the backwash position.
Refer to Figure 4 (page 5) for appropriate bypass valve operation. Rotate bypass lever of
stainless steel bypass ¼ of the way to
“Service” allowing unit to fill slowly. You should hear
water trickling into the mineral tank. Filling the mineral tank in this position will force any
trapped air to the drain.
When all air has been purged from the system and only water is
running to the drain, slowly open the bypass valve fully to the service position.
STEP 12:
Add enough water to the brine tank to a level approximately 1” above the salt grid.
STEP 13:
Plug the softener back into the electrical outlet.
Slowly rotate the Manual Regeneration knob clockwise until just one click is heard. This
is the Brine Draw position. Verify that the water level in the brine tank is dropping. Allow
water level to drop below the salt grid before continuing. If the water level does not drop,
refer to page 15 for Troubleshooting. Otherwise, advance the control valve to the service
position (see Fig. 5, page 7) by continuing to rotate the knob clockwise until the Service
Position Indicator is in line with the Time of Day Arrow.
STEP 14:
Check for leaks and correct as necessary.
STEP 15:
Turn on power or fuel supply back on to water heater.
STEP 16:
Set the current time of day on the timer (note AM and PM) (refer to Fig. 5).
STEP 17:
Set the regeneration frequency (refer to Fig. 5).
STEP 18:
Fill the brine tank with salt.
