Ocean Water Softener
Getting up and running
Complete the programme sections before setting into
service mode (see pages 8, 9 and 10 of this guide).
To set the machine to service simply alter the position
of the inlet and outlet valve and turn the bypass valve
to the off position. It is recommended that this
procedure is completed in the following order.
1.
Turn the softener
inlet valve to the on
position
2.
Turn the
bypass
valve to the
off
position. Allow
approximately five minutes to let the incoming
water to build a level of pressure before
completing step 3.
3.
Turn the softener
outlet valve to the on
position.
You should now complete any programming
instructions that apply to your particular machine and
perform a manual regeneration.
A manual regeneration is performed at this stage to allow you to confirm that the unit has no
leaks from the installed valves and the waste runs free. This regeneration will also assist in
clearing any potential air locks that may be present within the system. The regeneration will
also reset any internal meter or timer devices that dictate the frequency of the regeneration
cycle.
Your machine should now be supplying your property with soft water. If you find that the
water feels too soft for you it is possible to dilute the softness by slightly opening the bypass
valve and allow some hard water to blend.
Just like a car, it is important that you have your softener regularly serviced; we recommend a
period of 24 months between each service.
