Start-up Instructions
1. Plug the valve into an approved power source.
2. When power is supplied to the control, the screen will display TIME OF DAY AND DEFAULT GALLON SETTING. If the valve is not
in service it will read “CANATURE” while the valve returns to the service position.
3. If the system has been inactive, you may have to hold and press ‘ ’ until you hear a beep to unlock the display screen. Press
“ ” to initiate a manual regeneration and advance the valve to the Backwash position. Open the inlet on the bypass valve
slowly and allow water to enter the unit. Allow all air to escape from the unit before turning the water on fully then allow
water to run to drain for 3-4 minutes or until all media fines are washed out of the softener or filter.
4. Press the “ ” to advance to the BRINE position. Check the water level in the brine tank to insure the valve is drawing brine
properly.
5. Press the “ ” to advance to the RINSE position. Check the drain line flow. Allow the water to run for 3-4 minutes or until the
water is clear.
6. Press the “ ” to advance to the REFILL position. Check that the valve is filling water into the brine tank. Allow the valve to
refill for the correct amount of time as displayed on the screen to insure a proper brine solution for the next regeneration.
7. Press the “ ” to advance to the SERVICE position. Open the outlet valve to the bypass, then open the nearest treated water
faucet and allow the water to run until clear, close the tap and replace the faucet screen.
8. Put salt into the brine tank.
Control Operation During A Power Failure
In the event of power failure, the valve will keep track of the time and day for 48 hours. The programmed settings are stored in a
non-volatile memory and will not be lost during a power failure. If power fails while the unit is in regeneration, the valve will
return to the service position once power is restored. If the valve misses a scheduled regeneration due to a power failure, it will
queue regeneration at the next regeneration time once power is restored.
