6.4. Start Up
1.
Half fill the brine tank with water.
2. Add salt until in total the brine tank is ¾ full.
3.
For systems with a by-pass feature, place in by-pass position (Fig 1.)
4. Turn on the main water supply.
5. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and allow to run for a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material
that may have resulted from the installation.
6.
Once clean, close the water tap. Place the by-pass in service position and let water flow into the pressure vessel.
When water flow stops, slowly open a cold water tap nearby and allow to run until the air is purged from the unit.
7. Plug the valve to a power source.
8. Switch on the electrical power.
9. Once plugged the valve may do a cycle on its own in order to go to service position.
10.
Start a regeneration by pressing the [R] button on the controller to go through a first complete cycle in order to
initialise the system. This operation can last up to an hour.
