stage of the regeneration cycle – “BD” (Brine Draw / Air Draw). Once the valve has stopped
moving, press the EXTRA CYCLE button again to advance to the next stage of the regeneration
cycle – “RR” (Rapid Rinse).
Without delay, immediately begin to slowly open the
bypass to the service position, allowing water to flow
into the system. Water and air will begin to flow to
the drain line and will continue for 1 minute. At the
end of this time, the valve will re-position and the filter
will return to normal service mode. Inspect your drain
line plumbing connections and repair any leaks
immediately before proceeding. If the plumbing pipe
rattled or vibrated during this process causing excessive
noise, use additional fasteners to better secure the drain line.
Slowly open a cold filtered water tap nearby and let the water run for a few minutes until the system
is purged of all air that may have resulted from the installation. Repeat for other faucets in the
home starting at the highest elevation and working down to the lowest point until all air is purged.
The initial flow of water may be slightly discolored. This is normal and will go away quickly.
It is now safe to turn the electricity back on to your water heater.
Press the EXTRA CYCLE button and hold it down for about 5 seconds to initiate a complete
regeneration cycle.
DO NOT INITIATE A REGENERTION OF THIS SYSTEM FOR A
MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS AFTER ADDING WATER TO THE
TREATMENT TANK TO ALLOW ADEQUATE PRE-SOAKING –
BACKWASHING BEFORE THE MEDIA IS SATURATED WILL
CAUSE A LOSS OF MEDIA AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE
CONTROL VALVE.
The control valve will perform a standard regeneration automatically, including a 14 minute
backwash, 40 minute air draw, and 1 minute rapid rinse (your settings may differ due to
programming selected by our technicians for your specific water conditions). Once this process is
complete, your set-up and installation is done!
Congratulations! Your system is now ready to provide treated water to your home!
If you have a tank-style water heater, it will still contain untreated water for a few days, but your
cold water lines will begin dispensing treated water right away.
