Start-Up Instructions
The water softener should be installed with the inlet, outlet, and drain connections made in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations, and to meet applicable plumbing codes.
NOTE: The valve control may need to reset to the home position when it is powered up. If it does, the motor will
run and the display will read “UD SYNC” to show that it is synchronizing the upper drive. When this is complete,
the motor will stop and the display will show the time of day.
Press the extra cycle button and hold it for five seconds to trigger a manual regeneration and advance the 1.
valve to the first regeneration position. Pressing the extra cycle button while the unit is in a regeneration cycle
will cause the valve to advance to the next position.
Position the valve to backwash. Ensure the drain line flow remains steady for 10 minutes or until the water 2.
runs clear (see above).
Position the valve to the brine / slow rinse position. Ensure the unit is drawing water from the brine tank (this 3.
step may need to be repeated).
Position the valve to the rapid rinse position. Check the drain line flow, and run for 5 minutes or until the water 4.
runs clear.
Position the valve to the start of the brine tank fill cycle. Ensure water goes into the brine tank at the desired 5.
rate. The brine valve drive cam will hold the valve in this position to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration.
Replace control box cover. 6.
Put salt in the brine tank. 7.
NOTE: Do not use granulated or rock salt.
