3. Fill resin tank with water.
a. With water supply off, place the bypass valve(s) into the “
NOT IN BYPASS
” position.
b. Open water supply valve very slowly to approximately the 1/4 open position.
IMPORTANT:
If opened too rapidly or too far, resin may be lost. In this position, you
should hear air escaping slowly from the drain line.
c. When all of the air has been purged from the tank (water begins to flow steadily from the
drain), open the water supply valve all the way.
d. Allow water to run to drain until clear.
e. Turn off water supply and let the unit stand for about five minutes. This will allow all trapped
air to escape from the tank.
4. Add water to brine tank (initial fill).
With a bucket or hose, add approximately 4 gallons (15 liters) of water to brine
tank. If the tank has a salt platform above the bottom of the tank, add water until
the level is approximately 1 inch (25 mm) above the platform.
