Do not add salt to the brine tank yet. Do not plug the transformer into the receptacle yet. Make sure inlet and outlet valves are to their 

closed positions. If using optional bypass, place in bypass position. Turn on main water supply. Open a cold water faucet. This will clear 

the line of any debris (solder, pipe dope, etc.) that may be in the line. Let water run at faucet for a couple minutes, or until clear. Turn 

off faucet. Manually add 1 ½  gallons of water to the brine tank. Now plug the transformer into a 120 volt receptacle (be certain the 

receptacle is uninterrupted). Within 5 seconds the control display and buttons will illuminate and the time of day screen will appear.

position.

If using optional bypass 

SLOWLY

 turn bypass valve to 

DIAGNOSTIC

 position (

See figure 3 on page 4

) or slowly open inlet valve to 

allow water to slowly enter the Conditioner.

When water is flowing steadily to drain without the presence of air, momentarily press 

REGEN

 

again. Display will read 

RINSE

. Open 

the outlet valve of the conditioner, or if using optional bypass place to 

NORMAL OPERATION  MODE

 (

see figure 1 on 

page  4

). Allow control to finish the 

RINSE 

cycle. Allow the control to automatically advance to the 

SOFTENING

 position. 

Now load the brine tank with salt. Solar Salt is recommended. The brine tank salt level should be checked every couple of 

weeks to determine salt usage. Keeping the brine tank salt level at least 1/2 full is recommended.

SANITIZING:

 Use 2 oz. of 5 ¼% unscented household chlorine bleach for each cubic foot of resin. Pour bleach directly into the 4” 

diameter white brine well located inside the brine tank. Press and hold the 

REGEN

 for 5 - 6 seconds until the motor starts running. Allow 

system to complete the regeneration automatically. Check for other local and state codes which may also specify sanitation methods.

Note: The first step of the regeneration process is to fill the brine tank with the proper amount of water. The brine tank will 

only have a very slight amount of water in it after the regeneration cycles are completed.

GENERAL OPERATION

User Displays

When the system is in normal service mode, one of up to five 

available User Displays will be shown. Pressing 

NEXT

 will 

alternate between the following displays:

 

• Current time of day

 

• Treated water flow rate

 

• Service contact name and phone number (if entered)

 

• Remaining Capacity of treated water available

 

• Remaining days to regeneration (if Day Override is

    

programmed)

Pressing the 

 button while in the Capacity Remaining or 

Days Remaining displays will decrease the capacity remaining 

in ten gallon increments or the days remaining in one day 

increments. 

To clear the Service Call reminder

, press the 

 and 

  

buttons simultaneously while the number and banner text 

screen is displayed.

If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at 

the preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will 

alternate with the header on the display. 

Utilizing the control valve’s built-in water meter, a water drop 

flashes on the display when water is being treated (i.e. water is 

flowing through the system).

Drop will flash while water 

is being treated.
