Start Up
1. Ensure all meter and communication cables are properly installed and connected.
2. Ensure all inlet and outlet isolation valves and the bypass valves are in the closed position
and the treated water faucet hot and cold side are in the open position.
3. Open the main water supply valve to the building. Check for leaks and repair as needed.
NOTE:
Start up only one tank at a time. Repeat the following steps (4 to 7) for every single tank of
the skid separately:
4. Plug the power cord of the control valve of the tank into an electrical outlet to energize the
system. Once the valve is powered it will drive to the service position. The LED light should
be blue.
5. Program the NXT2 controller. The water hardness, day override, time of regeneration, and
time of day will need to be set on site to the desired settings. (Refer to the User Mode
Programming section of the manual). The softener settings are pre-programmed at the factory
to the settings mentioned in section 3.10. Instructions for changing these settings are in the
Master Programming Guide section.
6.
Locate “Initiating a Manual Regeneration” in section 3.3. of this manual and follow the steps
to place the system in the Backwash position by pressing and holding the Extra Cycle button
on the NXT2 controller.
7. The LED light on the NXT2 timer should change from Blue (In Service color) to Green (In
Regeneration color).
8. Slowly open the inlet isolation valve until water can be heard flowing through the isolation
valve. Do not open the valve fully. Full flow of water could cause loss of mineral. Allow the
mineral tank to fill with water. Air will come out of the drain line until the mineral tank is full of
water. Once water flow at the drain line is observed, fully open the inlet valve and allow water
flow to drain for 10 minutes to flush the resin bed of any color. If water at the drain shows any
discoloration, continue to flush the resin bed until water at the drain is clear.
9. Press the
Extra Cycle
push button to change the valve from Backwash position to Brine/Rinse
position.
10. Check the level in the brine tank. The level should be dropping at a slow rate (approximately
2” per minute). Allow the level to drop until the air check valve closes.
11. Press the
Extra Cycle
push button to change the valve to from Brine/Rinse position to Fast
Flush position. Allow the water to flow to the drain until clear.
12. Press the
Extra Cycle
push button to change the valve from Fast Flush position to Brine Tank
Refill position. Allow the brine tank to fill with water for the duration of the step. The water level
should be 1”-2” inches above the salt platform.
13. Press the
Extra Cycle
push button to change the valve from Brine Tank Refill position to the
Service/Standby position.
14. Repeat steps 3 - 12 for the other tank(s).
15. Fill the brine tank with the proper amount and type of salt recommended for use with the
system (see section 2.4.3. Recommended Type of Salt). Do Not fill the salt level past the brine
well lid.
16. Close the manual bypass valve and open all outlet valves fully. The system is now in service.
17. Check for leaks and repair as needed.
