STEP 10:
For NST Series rotate the Manual Regeneration knob (see Fig. 5, page) clockwise to the
“Backwash” position.
For the NEST Series plug transformer into an un-switched electrical outlet and attach the
power cord into the control valve. Then press and hold down the center “ADVANCE” button for
5 seconds and release after “GO TO BW” appears on the screen (see Fig. 6, page 9). Wait
until the valve reaches the backwash position before going to STEP 11.
STEP 11:
Refer to Figure 4 (page 5) for appropriate bypass valve operation. Rotate bypass lever of
stainless steel bypass ¼ of the way to Service allowing unit to fill slowly. Filling the mineral
tank in this position will force any trapped air to the drain. Fully open bypass valve to the
“Service” position.
STEP 12:
Add enough water to the brine tank to a level approximately 1” above the salt grid.
STEP 13:
Rotate the Manual
Regeneration knob to the “Brine+Rinse” position. Continue slowly turning
the knob until resistance is felt and you hear 3 clicks. Verify that the water level in the brine
tank is dropping. Allow water level to drop below the salt grid before continuing. If the water
level does not drop, refer to page 17 for Troubleshooting.
For the NEST
Series press the center “ADVANCE” button and the control valve will go to the
brine draw position. Verify that the water level in the brine tank is dropping. Allow water level
to drop below the salt grid before continuing. If the water level does not drop, refer to section 8
of Troubleshooting.
STEP 14:
Fill the brine tank with water softener salt.
STEP 15:
Plug the softener into an un-switched electrical outlet, if not done previously.
STEP 16:
Rotate the Manual Regeneration knob to the “Rapid Rinse” position and allow the regeneration
to complete automatically.
The NEST
Series should be advanced by the center “ADVANCE” button to the fast rinse
position and allow the regeneration to complete automatically.
STEP 17:
Check for leaks and correct as necessary.
STEP 18:
Turn power or fuel supply back on to water heater.
STEP 19:
Set the current time of day on the timer (note AM and PM) (refer to Fig. 5 or Fig. 6, depending
on the model number).
STEP 20:
Set the regeneration frequency (refer to Fig. 5 or Fig. 6, depending on the model number).
The NEST Series units determine frequency based on gallons used.
