It is recommended that the softener be now given a regeneration so as to pre-clean
the resin bed. Before this is done proceed as follows:
•
Turn power off
•
Make sure inlet water to softener valve is “OFF”, outlet valve “OFF” and bypass open
•
Verify that drain line is fitted and that there is an “AIR GAP” between the drain pipe and
waste hole.
•
Remove “VALVE COVER” by pushing the tab, (at rear of the cover at the left hand back
corner) backwards
•
The valve camshaft is now evident
Slowly turn the camshaft anti-clockwise so that the last two cams (at the far emd) are
just riding on the two narrow brass ends are now pushed over to the right hand side.
The valve is now in the “BACKWASH POSITION”
•
Slowly open the mains inlet valve. Do not open fully, just enough that air and water will
be discharged at the drain. When no more air is being expelled along with the water,
close off the mains water inlet valve.
•
Slowly turn the camshaft anti-clockwise till the white line in the round window comes
around to the “REFILL” position.
•
Turn on the “POWER”. The display will show ‘E r r 3” and the control will advance the
camshaft by itself around to the “REGENERATION COMPLETE” position (this may take
up to 5 minutes) and the “E r r 3” being displayed will then revert back to the “TIME OF
DAY”/”CAPACITY” green light alternating.
•
Once the display green light is alternating
Pour 10-12 litres of water into the brine tank or cabinet. This is an initial amount of
water utilised for the first regeneration.
Open mains water inlet valve
Press the large “REGENERATION” button and hold for approximately two seconds
The green light will now be against “REGEN TIME REMAINING” which is the time
that the softener is in the regeneration mode and will decrease till the softener
completes the regeration. During this time the controls green light will alternate
between “TIME OF DAY” and “REGEN TIME REMAINING”.
