“GF” SERIES AUTOMATIC WATER CONDITIONERS

INSTALLATION

5

C. Installation and Start Up

1.  Make sure all connections have been made:  Inlet, outlet, brine line installed and connected to the brine tank 

and control valve, drain line installed, and over flow drain tubing connected and run to the drain.  (DO NOT 

CONNECT DRAIN LINE AND OVERFLOW TUBING)

2.  If the unit is not in bypass please do so now.  If using a bypass purchased with the unit the unit will be in the 

bypass position when the two arrows on the handles of the bypass are pointing towards each other (see figure 

2 page 12).

3.  Turn on your main water supply.  Locate a cold soft water tap and turn it on, allow the water to run until all ex-

cess air and foreign material is removed from the water.

4.  Add seven (7) gallons of water to the brine tank.
5.  Plug the water softener into the designated receptacle.  Program the current time of day (see page 9 for in-

structions).

6.  Press and hold the REGEN button (located in the upper right hand corner) until the unit starts a regeneration 

(depending on how the unit is programmed the first cycle may be back wash or brine fill).  Once the piston 

stops moving and the unit is counting down press the REGEN key again.  This will advance the unit to the next 

cycle.  Repeat this process until you see the word RINSE in the upper left hand corner.  Slowly open the inlet 

side of the bypass (see page 13 figure 3).  Let the water run to the drain until the water runs clear.

7.  Place the bypass back into the bypass mode (see page 13 figure 2)
8.  Press the REGEN button again to cycle the unit to the next cycle.  Wait for the piston to stop moving and press 

the REGEN button again.  Repeat this until the unit is at the home screen.  The home screen will be blue in 

color.

9.  Press and hold the REGEN button again until the unit starts a regeneration.  Depending on how the unit it set 

up you might have to wait for the piston to stop moving and press the REGEN button again repeating several 

times till the word BACKWASH appears in the upper left hand corner.  On most units BACKWASH should ap-

pear at the first screen.

10. Slowly turn the handle of the incoming water (See page 13 figure 3) until the bypass valve is completely 

opened.  Once you have a solid flow of water to the drain, open the outlet side of the bypass (see page 13 

figure 1) to duplicate the normal operation.

11.  Press the REGEN button again to cycle the unit to the next cycle.  Wait for the piston to stop moving and press 

the REGEN button again.  Repeat this until the unit is at the home screen.  The home screen will be blue in 

color.

12. Set the incoming hardness of the water, time of regeneration and calendar override.  See page 8 Steps 1I 

through 6I.

13. Add salt to brine tank.

10. An overflow fitting is attached to the outside of the brine tank (overflow elbow is white in color).  Attach a 5/8 

drain line (do NOT connect overflow tubing with drain line tubing).  The overflow fitting is installed in case the 

unit would malfunction and water would continually run to the brine tank.  The overflow (if tubing is connected) 

would allow the excess water to be run to the drain rather than overflow onto the floor.  Do NOT run overflow 

tubing above the overflow elbow at any point.
