The salt tank is pre-connected to the control head. Lift the cabinet lid and add about 5 gallons of water in the salt
tank. This is not a critical level but just helps with the process for the first regeneration. Then add 2 bags (20 Kg
bags) of salt to start with.
DO NOT ADD MORE THAN 2 BAGS OF SALT
to prevent salt bridging.
Turn main house shut-off valve on slightly and watch for leaks. Ensure a faucet is on somewhere and that its aerator
is removed to avoid clogging from loosened scale in the pipes. If you have no leaks, proceed to the next steps.
Turn on the water supply
Using the Allen key (included),
turn the bypass inlet slightly
(refer to
fig 2
) to allow water to run into the unit. The
water should initially fill the tank slowly. Once the tank is full of water, you can open valve fully. This prevents resin
from being pushed up into the control head by the initial surge of water going in.
Make sure there are no leaks in your plumbing before proceeding.
At the nearest cold treated water tap remove the faucet screen and open the faucet.
Using the Allen key (included), open the outlet side of the bypass valve and let water
run a few minutes or until the system is free of any air or foreign material resulting
from the plumbing work. Close the water tap when water runs clean, and then proceed
to start up instructions.
Connect the control valve to the power adapter (
fig 7
) & connect the adapter to the
power supply.
NOTE: Your unit is not yet ready for service until you complete manual
regeneration (see pages 7-11)

START UP & PROGRAMMING
The control valve is controlled with simple, user-friendly electronics
displayed on an LCD screen.
When power is first supplied, the valve electronics may take up to two
minutes to initialize. During this time the screen will show “INTIALIZING
WAIT PLEASE”. Do not touch any buttons at this time. When the valve
reaches the service position, it will display the following information in
sequence:
1.
Date & Time
2.
Capacity (
gal of water that can be used between
regenerations
)
3.
Volume Remaining (
gal of water left before regeneration
begins
)
4.
Regeneration Time (
Time of day when regeneration starts
)
5.
Last Regeneration Date (
Last date when system regenerated
)
6.
Current Flow Rate (GPM) (
flow rate of water being currently
used
)
7.
Peak Flow Rate (GPM) (
Max recorded flow rate of the water
)
The control valve has a display screen and 4 buttons
MENU BUTTON
The function of this key
is to enter the level one
