Start Up Procedure
1. Set time of day.
2. Set a.m. or p.m.
3. Set water hardness in grains per gallon (gpg).
Note :
If the water contains iron and / or manganese, multiply the total parts per million (ppm) by “four”
(4) and then add to the grains per gallon (gpg) of hardness. Use this COMPENSATED HARDNESS
level when programming the regeneration frequency.
1. Set regeneration day override if other than (7) days is desired. (This is particularly useful when iron is
being treated to prevent fouling of the resin.)
2. Set regeneration time, if other than 2:00 a.m. is desired.
-Start Up Procedure-
- Disinfection -
For disinfection of your unit, please follow the Sani-System Procedure on the back of the packet provided.
1. Advance control valve to BACKWASH (cycle 1) position and allow water to run to drain for 3 to 4 minutes.
Warning :
Close valve on bypass prior to selecting the backwash position. After backwash position has
been established, slightly open bypass to evacuate air from the media tank. Fully open valve
when all air is depleted. This procedure will prevent media from being uplifted into control valve.
2. Advance control valve to BRINE REFILL (cycle 4) position and allow the brine tank to fill just over the salt
grid plate.
3. Advance control valve to BRINE & RINSE (cycle 2) and allow the control valve to draw water from the
brine tank until it stops. If no draw is observed, check tightness of brine line compression fittings.
4. Advance control valve to RAPID RINSE (cycle 3) position and let run to drain for 3 - 4 minutes.
5. Advance control valve to BRINE TANK REFILL (cycle 4) position and allow the control valve to automatical
ly fill the brine tank.
Note :
Control valve will advance to service position automatically.
- Filling The Brine Tank With Salt -
To expect a high level of performance and reliability, a salt manufactured specifically for water softeners
must be used. Salt of this grade is virtually free from dirt and other particulates that would eventually cause
the softener to malfunction. A pellet type salt is recommended, although any high quality water softener
salt (such as solar salt) will suffice. If iron is present in raw water, use of iron inhibiting salt is recommended.
The salt level will decrease after each regeneration cycle. Consequently, the salt compartment will need to
be checked and replenished periodically.
1. Fill the salt compartment with water softener salt as described above. This will be approximately 150
pounds of salt.
Warning :
Do not fill salt above level of the brine well.
2. Close cabinet brine tank lid.
