FLUSHING, CONDITIONING AND SANITIZATION
Step 1.
Make sure the system is in the “Bypass” position before turning the main water back on (
see figure 12a above
).
Make sure the drain line is connected securely to the control valve and is properly located over a drain.
Make sure the drain line is connected to the overflow elbow
(see figure 6, page 7)
and is properly located over a drain.
Make sure the brine line is connected to both the air check in the brine well and the control valve. (
see figure 7, page 7
)
Make sure the control valve is plugged into an operating outlet with the correct voltage and is properly grounded.
Step 2:
Press and Hold the REGEN button on the Triton until you hear the motor engage. This will initiate an immediate manual regeneration
of the system. Refer to the table on page 10 for Triton cycles of operation. Turn the bypass valve to Normal Operation (
figure 12b
above
) (you should hear water entering the system.) Wait a few minutes to ensure the control valve can draw water and does not
leak. If everything is working, press and release the REGEN button. You will hear the motor engage and move the piston into the
“Brine Dn” position. Check the brine line for leaks or suction. You should hear the valve drawing brine. Continue to skip cycles by
pressing and releasing the REGEN button (wait for the motor to stop before pressing REGEN) until you reach the “Brine Fill” position.
This ensures that water will go to the brine tank. Fill tank 3” to 4” above salt grid. Make sure enough water is in the brine tank to
dissolve the correct amount of salt for regeneration (1 gallon of water will dissolve 3 lbs. of sodium chloride). Allow the brine tank to
fill with water to air check level. If the system needs 6 lbs. of salt to regenerate, then at least 2-1/2 gallons of water must be in the
brine tank above air check in the brine well. The extra 1/2 gallon is an additional measure for evaporation or loss. (6 ÷ 3 = 2 gallons of
water plus 1/2 gallon). Fill the brine tank with salt. (We recommend potassium chloride (KCl) instead of rock salt.) Once the brine tank
is filled to this level, press REGEN once more to return the valve to service. You should hear the motor engage for a short period and
then a long period.
