5.3 Salt Wash and Water Filling Test
Note: If the system cannot perform water filling and salt wash
function, constant supply of soft water is impossible.
5.4 Important Notes for Commissioning Water Softener
5.3.1 Activate regeneration manually by referring to Section 4.4 - “Manual Regeneration”.
5.3.2 During the regeneration process, press REGEN in every step to escalate to the “Fill” position
(Section 4.5.5) to check on the system’s water filling function. Now observe if the water level start to rise
slowly in the brine tank. The softener is functioning normal if the water level rises
5.3.3 Using the same method as above (5.3.2), escalate to the “BRINE” position to check the salt
dissolving function. (Section 4.5.2) Now observe if the water level in the salt box starts to descend
decrease in the brine tank. The softener’s salt dissolving function is normal if the water level decreases.
5.3.4 Set the system to normal operation mode. Turn on the water faucet and drain water till water is clear.
• During the first water filling, make sure the salt level in the brine tank is higher than the water level.
Salt particle must be visible at all times, even during normal operation.
• Ensure that the bypass valve is turn to the normal operation position (Fig 5.2.1) after configuration
and before commissioning.
• Depending on the length of water pipeline installed, turn on the faucet to let water flow for 5-10
minutes.
• Check for leaks or seepage at the joints and fittings after installation test is done.
• Upon completing installation and configuration, activate regeneration manually by referring to
Section 4.4 - “Manual Regeneration” to sanitize the system prior to use.
• Before performing regeneration, especially the first manual regeneration, make sure that the salt in
the brine tank are fully dissolved. Allow 30-60 minutes for the salt to dissolve after each
replenishment and hand stir to make sure salt are fully dissolved
