Step 3:
To ensure sanitary conditions in the mineral and brine tanks, place 1.5 ounces common household bleach into the brine tank. Press and
hold the REGEN button for 3 seconds to move the control valve into “1st Backwash” position. Once the motor stops, press and hold the
REGEN button to move the control valve to the “Brine Dn” position. This cycle normally takes about 60 minutes, however 10 minutes
should be sufficient to pull the chlorine from the brine tank. After 10 minutes, press and hold the REGEN button to move the control valve
to the “2nd Backwash” position. Let the valve complete this cycle and also the “Brine Rinse” and “Brine Fill” cycles which will come
next. 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 then 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 after everyone is asleep).
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.
