STEP 11:
Refer to Figure 4 (page 5) for appropriate bypass valve operation. Rotate bypass lever of
stainless steel bypass ¼ of the way to Service allowing unit to fill slowly. Filling the mineral
tank in this position will force any trapped air to the drain. Fully open bypass valve to the
“Service” position.
STEP 12:
Add enough water to the
brine tank to a level approximately 1” above the salt grid or 5” above
the bottom of the brine tank if no salt grid is included.
STEP 13:
Rotate the Manual Regeneration kn
ob to the “Brine+Rinse” position. Continue slowly turning
the knob until resistance is felt and you hear 3 clicks. Verify that the water level in the brine
tank is dropping. Allow water level to drop below the salt grid before continuing (if applicable).
If the water level does not drop, refer to page 23 for Troubleshooting.
For the NES Series press t
he center “ADVANCE” button and the control valve will go to the
brine draw position. Verify that the water level in the brine tank is dropping. Allow water level
to drop below the salt grid before continuing. If the water level does not drop, refer to section 8
of Troubleshooting.
STEP 14:
Fill the brine tank with water softener salt.
STEP 15:
Plug the softener into an un-switched electrical outlet, if not done previously.
STEP 16:
Rotate the Manual Regeneration kn
ob to the “Rapid Rinse” position and allow the regeneration
to complete automatically.
The NES Series should be advanced by the center “ADVANCE” button to the fast rinse
position and allow the regeneration to complete automatically.
STEP 17:
Check for leaks and correct as necessary.
STEP 18:
Turn power or fuel supply back on to water heater.
STEP 19:
Set the current time of day on the timer (note AM and PM) (refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 6, or Fig. 7,
depending on the model number).
STEP 20:
Set the regeneration frequency (refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 6, or Fig. 7, depending on the model
number). The NMS and NES Series units determine frequency based on gallons used.
