• After installation is complete, rotate bypass handles to bypass mode
(see Fig. 2 on page 2)
.
• Turn on water and check for leaks.
• Fully open a cold water faucet — preferably a laundry sink or bathtub with no aerator.
• Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris which may have occurred during installation.
NOTE:
The system regeneration sequence for softeners is in one of the two following sequences. (If it is
desired to change this sequence, please refer to the Dealer Manual or contact the manufacturer.)

Once a manual regeneration is initiated, the unit will go into the FILL
position. This position allows water to enter the brine tank until it
reaches the proper level. Once this position is complete, you will
notice a 240 Minute (4 hours) SOFTENING position. This 4-hour
window allows the salt to dissolve and achieve proper brine strength.
During these FILL and SOFTENING positions, you will have softened
water available for use. Once the unit advances to the BACKWASH position and subsequent positions
thereafter (see Start Up Instructions for regeneration sequence), the water softener will deliver water,
but it will be untreated.
IMPORTANT
: With the Dry Salt Storage Feature, the brine tank will refill 4 hours before the actual
regeneration occurs. You may experience a small amount of noise for a short period of time at 10:00
p.m. (with typical setting) on the night that regeneration is to occur. This noise is only the brine tank filling
and at no time during this process will you be without treated water.

Power Loss:
If the power goes out for less than two hours, the system will automatically reset itself. If
an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which indicates the time of day
should be reset. The system will remember all other settings.
5.
Error Message:
If the word
error
and a number are alternately flashing on the
display record the number and contact the dealer for help. This indicates that the valve
was not able to function properly.
6.
Brine Tank Maintenance and Salt:
Refill the brine tank as necessary,
making sure at least 1/3 of the brine tank is full at all times. Without proper salt levels, the water softener
may not operate properly.
Because “typical” settings of this water softener include a dry salt storage feature (no water in brine tank
between regeneration), the manufacturer recommends the use of solar salt for best results. The brine tank is
manufactured for the use of solar, pellets or rock salt. If pellet or rock salt is used, a cleaning of the brine tank
every six months is recommended. If the dry salt storage feature is not being utilized, block salt may be used.
CAUTION: The manufacturer does not recommend the use of any resin cleaners, nor placement of any resin
cleaners into the brine tank. This may be harmful to the water softener and for human consumption. Consult
dealer for proper cleaning instructions.

The system is now ready for filling with water. For the purpose of filling the softener, leave the unit in the
bypass position until the 4th step, then repeat steps 1-6 with the unit full.
Do not open the bypass at
this time
, it will be filled in the backwash position. Once the unit is filled with water (step 2) then open the
bypass.
