Press the REGENERATION ICON. You will be given a choice to regenerate “now” or “at regen
time” - select “now.” You will hear the valve motor change the position of the valve piston,
“backwash” will be indicated on the regeneration wheel on the touch screen display, and the
backwash time will begin counting down in the top right corner of the display. Allow the
backwash to complete its whole cycle.
The valve piston will then re-position and the valve will begin the BRINE DRAW/SLOW RINSE
cycle indicated by the “draw” on the touch screen display. Check the brine tubing
connections at the control valve and brine valve for leaks. Tighten fittings if necessary.
Inspect the water level in the brine tank and observe whether the water level is declining,
indicating that the control valve is drawing brine as it should. If the system is not drawing
water from the brine tank, check all connections for air leaks and check the brine tubing for
kinks that may be blocking brine flow. If this does not resolve the problem, call your dealer
for support. Allow the BRINE DRAW/SLOW RINSE cycle to run for at least 15 minutes (45
minutes remaining).
Once you have confirmed that you have a proper brine draw and you have waited at least 15
minutes, press the REGENERATION ICON to advance to the RINSE cycle. Allow this cycle to
run for its full duration.
When the RINSE cycle is complete, the control valve will enter the REFILL cycle. During this
cycle, the control valve sends a very specific amount of water to the brine tank to make brine
solution for the next regeneration. This volume of water plays a very important role in the salt
efficiency of your system. Check to make sure that the water level in your brine tank is now
slowly rising. If not, contact your dealer for assistance. When this cycle is complete, your
control valve will return to normal service mode.
INSPECT ALL OF YOUR PLUMBING CONNECTIONS AND REPAIR ANY LEAKS
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE PROCEEDING. IF THE DRAIN PIPE RATTLED OR VIBRATED
DURING THE REGENERATION PROCESS CAUSING EXCESSIVE NOISE, USE ADDITIONAL
FASTENERS TO BETTER SECURE THE DRAIN LINE.
You can now add salt to your brine tank. The salt is not included with your softener but can
be purchased from most major department stores, grocery stores, home stores, and
hardware stores as needed. See “Salt” below.
