START UP INSTRUCTIONS
 After installation is completed rotate the bypass handles to the bypass position (see bypass valve diagram
page ).
 Turn on water and check for leaks.
 Fully open a cold water faucet.
 Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris which may have occurred during installation.
 The system is now ready for filling with water and for testing.
1. With the bypass valve in the bypass position, manually pour enough water into the brine tank to reach
the top of the air check valve.
2. Press and hold the REGEN button until the motor starts. Release button. Wait until the display reads
“BACKWASH” and the remaining time is counting down. Unplug transformer to prevent valve from
moving to the next cycle.
3. Open the inlet handle of the bypass valve very slightly allowing water to fill the tank slowly in order to
expel air.
CAUTION: If water flows too rapidly there will be a loss of media.
4. When the water is flowing steadily to the drain without the presence of air, restore power and momentarily
press the REGEN button to advance the control to the “BRINE” position.
5. Fully open the inlet bypass valve handle (bypass is now in the diagnostic position).
Check to verify that water is being drawn from brine tank. There
should be a slow flow to the drain.
Allow two minutes for the media bed to settle.
6. Momentarily press REGEN again until the display reads “2 BACKWASH” and the “time remaining”
numbers are counting down. The “2” flashes.
7. Momentarily press REGEN again until the display reads “RINSE”. Unplug transformer. There should be a
rapid flow to the drain. Allow to run until steady, clear, and without air.
Restore power.
8. Set bypass valve handles to the normal operating position
9. Momentarily press REGEN again until the display reads “FILL”.
Allow the brine tank to fill automatically.
It will fill with the proper volume of water for the first regeneration after the unit will automatically return
to the service position. If not filling automatically, press REGEN to advance the valve to service.
10. While the brine tank is filling, load it with water softener salt.
