Step 11. Connect Transformer
1. Connect the power cable leads to the two terminals on the transformer.

Check to be sure all leadwire connectors are secure on the back of the timer.
CAUTION:
Be sure all wiring is away from the valve gear and motor area, which rotates during regenerations.
2. Plug the transformer into a continuously “live”, grounded house electrical outlet, approved by local codes. THE

Step 12. Start a Recharge
Press the RECHARGE button and hold for three seconds until Recharge Now begins to flash in the timer display,
starting a recharge. This recharge draws the sanitizing bleach into and through the unit. Any air remaining in the
unit is purged to the drain.
Step 13. Restart the Water Heater
Turn on the electricity or fuel supply to the water heater, and light 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 recharge (Step 12) is over. Then, drain the water heater until water runs cold.
Step 14. Install the Salt Hole and Faceplate Cover(s).
