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 is over. Then, drain the
water heater(following instructions for water
heater) until water runs cold.

parts and packaging material after
installation. Small parts remaining after the
installation could be a choke hazard.

“service”(open) position.
3. Start a recharge (regeneration). See “Start a
Recharge”on Page 17.

a cold water faucet, downstream from the
