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.

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.

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.
