Penguin Water PWXH-150, Manual

Page: 31 / 41

System Start-Up
1. With the bypass handles in the bypass position, initiate an immediate regeneration.
This will advance the valve to the backwash position.
2. Once the valve has stopped moving and is in the backwash position, slowly open the
bypass handles about 1/8th turn. Water should slowly enter the tank.
NOTE: If there is a loud knocking sound, simply turn the bypass handle back a bit as
the system is filling too quickly.
3. During the backwash cycle, slowly open the bypass valve until there is water coming
out of the drain hose. Then open the bypass valve fully.
4. Allow the system to backwash and push all the air out through the drain.
5. The valve will automatically move to the Brine Draw cycle when the backwash cycle
is complete. Skip this cycle by pressing and holding the “Set/Change” button on the
control valve or by pressing “Go to Next Regen Step” on the Legacy View App.
6. This will move the valve to Rapid Rinse. Allow the unit to rinse for the entire cycle.
The water in the drain should be running clear by the end of the Rapid Rinse cycle.
7. The valve will then advance to the Refill cycle. Allow the system to refill for the entire
cycle. This will ensure there is no air in the brine line and that it is primed for the sys-
tem’s first regeneration.
8. Once the system has returned to the Service position after the Refill cycle, the sys-
tem is installed and ready for use. Just make sure to check the salt and don’t allow it
to run out.
