1) With one nearby softened faucet running in the COLD position, slowly open your bypass valve or 3-valve bypass
to about ¼ open to allow the air trapped in the softener to escape via your running faucet.
noTe: opening the
bypass too quickly or too open may damage your softener or plumbing
2) Allow the softener tank to slowly fill with water. After a few minutes, you will see a trickle of water coming from
the cold water faucet. Allow the water to run slowly in this manner for an additional 5 minutes. Next, with the
cold water faucet still running, gradually move your bypass valve to the fully open position.
noTe: You may see
some initial discoloration from the softened water – this is normal and should dissipate within the first
40-50 gallons of water used.
Turn off the running cold water faucet when the water runs clear

To test the integrity of your new system and all connections
,
it is strongly encouraged that you per-
form a short form regeneration to check for leaks before service.
Begin this process by adding approximately
5 gallons of water/the amount of water needed to cover the brine grid into the brine tank. Start the regeneration se-
quence by HOLDING the REGEN button for 5 seconds. Once the screen stops flashing BW, let BW - Backwash run
for about 1 minute to observe the water leave out the drain line and check for leaks. If you notice any leaks,
to review preparing the drain connection. Click the REGEN button ONCE to move on to BD - Brine Draw
4) Once the screen stops flashing BD, let BD - Brine Draw run for about 1 minute to observe the water level in the
brine tank being drawn lower. Also check the brine line and the float valve in the brine well for leaks. If the water
level doesn't lower or there is a leak,
to review preparing the brine tank connection.
Click the REGEN button ONCE to move on to RR - Rapid Rinse
5) Once the screen stops flashing RR, advance from RR - Rapid Rinse to BF - Brine Fill by clicking the REGEN button
ONCE more. Once the screen stops flashing BF, let BF - Brine Fill run for about 1 minute to observe the water
level in the brine tank rise. Also check the brine line and float valve in the brine well for leaks. If the water level
doesn't rise or there is a leak,
to review preparing the brine tank connection. Click the
REGEN button ONCE to finish
6) Now you may add 120-160 pounds of pellet, solar, or block salt to your brine tank.
always keep your brine tank
filled with salt to at least above the water level.
You do not need to perform a regeneration immediately after
installation as the new resin arrives at full softening capacity. Simply let your softener meter automatically trigger
regenerations by tracking the water consumption
