Start-Up Procedure
1. Set Time of Day
The user can also set the time of day. Time of day should only need to be set after
power outages lasting more than 8 hours, if the battery has been depleted and a pow-
er outage occurs, or when daylight saving time begins or ends. If a power outage last-
ing more than 8 hours occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which indicates the
time of day should be reset. If a power outage lasts less than 8 hours and the time of
day flashes on and off, the time of day should be reset and the battery replaced.

simultaneously for 3 seconds.
STEP 2I
– Hardness: Set the amount of hardness in grains of hardness as calcium
carbonate per gallon using the
▼
or
▲
buttons. The default is 20 with value ranges
from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments. Note: The grains per gallon can be in creased if
soluble iron needs to be reduced. Press NEXT to go to step 3I. Press REGEN to exit
Installer Display Settings.
STEP 3I
– Day Override: When gallon capacity is set to off, Day Override sets the
number of days between regenerations. When gallon capacity is set to AUTO or to a
number, Day Override sets the maximum number of days between regenerations. If
value set to “oFF” regeneration initiation is based solely on gallons used. If value is set
as a number (allowable range from 1 to 28) a regeneration initiation will be called for
on that day even if sufficient number of gallons were not used to call for a regenera-
tion. Set Day Override using
▼
or
▲
buttons:
• number of days between regeneration (1 to 28); or
• “oFF”.
Press NEXT to go to step 4I. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

3. Fill the mineral tank with water:
Slowly open bypass valve (see Bypass Valve Diagram, page 3).
Press and hold “REGEN” button until “RINSE” appears on the LCD screen. Allow water to flow until tank
is full and all air has been bled from the system, water will flow to the drain line. Allow water to flow for 3-
4 minutes.
4. Filling the brine tank with water:
Slowly press “REGEN” 4 more times, waiting for the valve motor to
cycle on and off each time you press. “FILL” will appear on LCD screen. Water will begin to flow to the
brine tank. Allow control to fully complete this cycle. Once complete, the unit will go into regular service
and the time of day or gallons remaining will appear on LCD screen. This procedure will place the appro-
priate initial water fill in the brine tank.
System setup is now complete. Add salt to brine tank (Water Control recommends Morton System
Saver® pellets). Enjoy your soft water!
