
Remove the lid on the salt tank. Insert the brine well into the appropriate slot at
the bottom of the salt tank (
Fig 6) . Slide the 3/8” tube through the hole on the side
of the salt tank and connect it to the brine float as shown in Fig 7 .

Remove locking clip on the brine outlet (Fig 8) and insert other end of the 3/8”
tube until it goes no further . Replace locking clip. The salt tank is flexible and can
be moved around the softener as long as it is connected to it through the 3/8”
brine tube.

Attaching the overflow tubing : If the safety overflow is not already attached to
the brine (salt) tank, drill a ¾” hole on the side of the brine tank
about ¾ of the way from the bottom (
Fig 9 ). Insert the over flow
fitting from the outside and tighten the nut from the inside to
lock it in place.

Attach the rest of the drain tubing to the overflow fitting and run
to the floor drain with an appropriate air gap, as shown in fig 5. If
you do not have any more drain tubing left, you will need to
purchase extra tubing at your local plumbing retailer.
WARNING :
DO NOT TEE THE OVERFLOW TUBING TO THE DRAIN TUBING

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.

Turn the main house shut-off valve on slightly and watch for
leaks. Make sure a faucet is on somewhere and that any 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 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 10) & connect the adapter
to the power supply.
NOTE: Your unit is not yet ready for service until you complete programming and
manual regeneration. See next page.
