7. START UP
7.1 Hydraulic start-up
Prior to initiate the start-up of the system make sure that all
previous steps regarding installation. Ensambling and pro-
gramming have been correctly effected and according to the
instructions of this manual and according to local regulations.
To start up follow the following steps:
Do not put salt inside the system till the end of the start-up pro-
cess. In order to avoid air pressure upon the softener and the
plumbing system, follow the instructions in order.
1.
Put the bypass valve in “bypass” position.
2.
Open two or more faucets (total aperture) of cold treated
water besides the softener, to get water from it.
3.
Open completely the inlet valve. Leave the water flow till
you get a continuos flow from the faucets, without air bubbles.
4.
Connect the timer to the power supply with the supplied
transfomer for this purpose.
5.
The timer will be placed in service position, if it is not like
this, revise the section 6.3 of Denver timer.
6.
Press “REGEN” key during three seconds to start a regene-
ration. After some seconds the system will be placed in Bac-
kwash position.
7.
Open inlet valve very slowly allowing the water to enter into
the softener. Water flow at this moment should be little becau-
se this way the water will come through the inferior part of the
vessel circulating till it will get to the drain.
8.
When waters comes through the drain with a continuos
flow open please open inlet valve completely. In this moment
the water will be totally inside the vessel and a higher flow will
not damage it. Some coloration (yellow or brown) could be
observed in drainage flow. That coloration is originated by resin
preservatives and it is normal.
9.
Please maintain this position (water flowing through the dra-
in) until coloration disappears.
10.
Close inlet valve for five minutes and all the air trapped with
the resin will float to the upper part of the vessel.
11.
Open inlet valve one more time for some minutes to ensu-
re that all the air inside the vessel has been removed.
12.
Cancel the current stage of the regeneration until refill sta-
ge. The brining tank will start refilling by itself. In this moment
the system will end the regeneration started in point 6.
13.
Start another regeneration. Wait until the system is placed in
backwashing position nbr.6 and cancel this stage by pressing
any key.
14.
The softener will start to suction water from the tank (bri-
ning position). Check that the softener suctions water from
the tank.
15.
Cancel the remaining stages of the regeneration.
16.
Put the by-pass in service position and check that the
treated water has been correctly softened (see Section 7.3).
17.
Fill the tank with salt.
18.
The system is ready to work. Start-up process is finished.
“WARNING”
Excesive weight hazard at least two people are
required to move and lift salt bags. Faillure to do so can result in
back or other body parts injury.
