Starting Up the System
Step 3: continued:
Once the valve has completed the “Brine Fill” cycle it will automatically return to service. In step 5
you will set the valve to “Regen Today” so that it will regen tonight at the specified time. If there
is any residual chlorine, it should be removed tonight.
Step 4: Make sure that the bypass valve is completely set in the “Normal Operation” position. Let the
water in the taps of the building run for several minutes to purge the unconditioned water out of
the pipes. After several minutes, take a water sample and test for hardness from the running tap.
If a hardness test reads “soft” water, the installation is correct.
Step 5: Press and release the REGEN button. You should see “Regen Today” appear on the LCD screen.
This will instruct the control valve to regenerate tonight at the specified time (usually 2:00 am).
Step 6: Drain hot water heater and let it refill with conditioned water. We suggest draining the hot water
by turning on the hot water taps in the house. We recommend doing this just prior to bedtime.
