TEST FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, complete the following steps:
1
. Fully open two nearby cold water faucets down-
stream from the water softener.
2
. Observe steady flow from both faucets.
3
. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet
for about one minute, or until all air is expelled, and
then close this faucet.
4
. Close both cold water faucets.
5
. Check your plumbing work for leaks, and fix right
away if any are found. Be sure to observe previous
caution notes.
NOTE:
If this procedure is performed on a new soften-
er, water coming from the taps may initially be
discolored. This normally occurs the first time
water runs through the resin bed. The discol-
oration will not last more than a few minutes.
RESTART THE WATER HEATER
1
. Turn on the electricity or fuel supply to the water
heater and relight the pilot, if applicable.
NOTE:
The water heater is filled with hard water and,
as hot water is used, it refills with conditioned
water. In a few days, the hot water will be fully
conditioned. To have fully conditioned hot
water immediately, wait until the initial recharge
(previous step) is over. Then, drain the water
heater (following instructions for water heater)
until water runs cold.
