PLACING CONDITIONER INTO OPERATION (turning on the water)
35
Rev E
If the tank has a salt platform in the bottom of the tank, add water until
the water level is approximately 1 inch (25 mm) above the platform.
6. Engage the refill cycle to prime the line between the regenerant tank and
the valve (conditioner only).
A. Slowly open the main water supply valve again, to the fully open
position. Be sure not to open too rapidly as that would push the media
out of the media tank.
B. Advance the controller to the Refill (C8) position. From cycle C1
(Backwash), press and hold the SET button. This will display the
current cycle.
While pressing the SET button, press UP to advance to the next cycle.
Continue to advance through each cycle until you have reached cycle
C8 (Refill).
C. With the water supply completely open, when you arrive at cycle C8
(Refill), the controller will direct water down through the line to the
regenerant tank. Let the water flow through the line until all air bubbles
have been purged from the line.
D. Do not let the water flow down the line to the tank for more than one to
two minutes, or the tank may overfill.
E. Once the air is purged from the line, press the SET button and the UP
button simultaneously to advance to cycle C0 (Treated Water) position.
7. Draw water from the regenerant tank.
A. From the treated water position (cycle C0), advance the valve to the
draw regenerant position. Hold the REGEN button down for five
seconds.
The controller will begin a manual regen, and advance the control valve
to the cycle C1 (Backwash). Press the SET and UP button to advance
to cycle C2 (Draw).
B. With the controller in this position, check to see that the water in the
regenerant tank is being drawn out of the tank. The water level in the
tank should recede very slowly.
C. Observe the water being drawn from the regenerant tank for at least
three minutes. If the water level does not recede, or goes up, check all
NOTE:
We recommend that you do not put regenerant into the tank until
after the control valve has been put into operation. With no regenerant in
the tank, it is much easier to view water flow and motion in the tank.
NOTE:
As you advance through each cycle there will be a slight delay
before you can advance to the next cycle. The hourglass icon will light while
the camshaft is indexing. There may be a pause at cycle C4 (System
Pause). This cycle allows the water/air pressure to equalize on each side of
the valve discs before moving on. The hourglass will not be visible
indicating that the system is paused.
