PROGRAMMING
Initial Start Up
The initial start up will probably be done by the technician install-
ing the softener system. If not, the following instructions will step
you through the process.
1. Complete all plumbing connections: inlet, outlet, drain
line and brine line. Do not add salt at this time.
2. Place the bypass valve in the bypass position. (See
page 6) Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold
soft water faucet to flush the piping of any air and/or
foreign material. Run until the water is clear.
3. Manually add 6 inches of water to the brine tank.
4. Now plug the transformer into a 110-volt receptacle. (Be
certain the outlet is uninterrupted.) Within 5 seconds the
control will automatically align itself into the softening
mode and display will automatically alternate between
time of day, gal/min and gallons remaining. (Figure 8).
5. Set the time of day by pushing clock button (figure 9,
page 10) and using
and
buttons.
6. Push REGEN button and hold it down for 3 seconds.
The system will advance to the “First” position. (Note:
Depending on how the system is programmed it could
read backwash, rinse, brine or fill). Push REGEN
button once per regen step until “Rinse” shows in the
upper left hand corner of display. Open bypass to allow
water to unit. Run water to the drain until it runs clear.
Return the by-pass valve to the by-pass position. Push
REGEN button until unit is back to "Softening Mode".
7. Once again, push REGEN button and hold down for
3 seconds. Keep pushing REGEN button until “Back-
wash” appears. Slowly open inlet valve. Allow water
to slowly fill the mineral tank. When a solid stream of
water starts coming out of the drain line, open the by-
pass inlet valve all the way and allow to run out the drain
until water clears. Then slowly open the outlet side of
valve.
8. Press the REGEN button until LED display says “RE-
GENERANT DRAW DN”. Loosen the brine line from the
control valve. Place finger over the brine connection to
check for suction. If no suction, see trouble-shooting
guide. If proper suction, reattach brine tube to control
valve, and allow it to draw water down to the bottom of
the air check.
9. Press REGEN button again until LED once again displays
“BACKWASH”. Keep in backwash until water once again
runs clear at the drain.
10. Press REGEN button again until “RINSE” is displayed.
Allow rinse cycle to run its full course. While the rinse
cycle is finishing, this would be a good time to load
your brine tank with salt.
If utilizing brine recovery,
manually add full volume of water to brine tank for
the first REGENERATION.
11. Once the rinse cycle has finished, the softener control
will return to refill or the softening cycle. The LED screen
will scroll between “TIME/GPM/GALLONS REMAINING”
or DAYS REMAINING/GPM/CUSTOMER SCREEN.
12. Next set your softeners water hardness, days override and
regeneration time settings (see figure 10a, page 10).
Your programming is now complete.
General Information
The H151 control valve is the “brain” of your water softener.
It consists of the valve body and powerhead with solid state
microprocessor.
The display panel (see Figure 7) consists of the LCD display
and five push buttons which are used in displaying and program-
ming the water softener settings.

USER DISPLAYS/SETTINGS
General Operation
When the system is operating, one of three
displays may be shown. Pressing NEXT
will alternate between the displays. One of
the displays is the current time of day. The
second display is days to a regen/gallons
remaining. Days To A Regen is the number
of days left before the system goes through a
regeneration cycle. Capacity remaining is the
number of gallons that will be treated before
the system goes through a regeneration cycle.
The third display is current flow in gal/min.
The user can scroll between the displays as
desired by pushing NEXT or display will scroll
automatically.
When water is being treated (i.e. water is
flowing through the system) the word "GPM"
flashes on left side of display when other than
flow rate is displayed.

5 minutes then continue to scroll. The conditional
screens will take precedence over the scrolling
and the conditional conditions will apply.
