Do not add salt to the brine tank yet. Do not plug the transformer into the receptacle yet. Make sure inlet and outlet valves are to their
closed positions. If using optional bypass, place in bypass position. Turn on main water supply. Open a cold water faucet. This will clear
the line of any debris (solder, pipe dope, etc.) that may be in the line. Let water run at faucet for a couple minutes, or until clear. Turn
off faucet. Manually add 1 ½ gallons of water to the brine tank. Now plug the transformer into a 120 volt receptacle (be certain the
receptacle is uninterrupted). Within 5 seconds the control display and buttons will illuminate and the time of day screen will appear.
•
Press and hold the
REGEN
button for approximately 5 seconds until the motor starts.
•
Wait until display reads
FILL
and numbers start counting down.
•
Momentarily press
REGEN
again. Valve is now in the
SOFTENING
position.
•
Momentarily press
REGEN
again. Valve is now in the
BACKWASH
position. (NA for model 7-LXC-50, -100)
•
Momentarily press
REGEN
again. Valve is now in the
REGENERANT DRAW
position.
•
Momentarily press
REGEN
again. Valve is now in the second
BACKWASH
position. (NA for model 7-LXC-50, -100)
If using optional bypass
SLOWLY
turn bypass valve to
DIAGNOSTIC
position (
See figure 3 on page 5
) or slowly open inlet valve to
allow water to slowly enter Softener.
When water is flowing steadily to drain without the presence of air, momentarily press
REGEN
again. Display will read
RINSE
. Open
the outlet valve of the softener, or if using optional bypass place to
NORMAL OPERATION MODE
(
see figure 1 on page
5
). Allow control to finish the
RINSE
cycle. Allow the control to automatically advance to the
SOFTENING
position. Now
load the brine tank with salt. Solar Salt is recommended. The brine tank salt level should be checked every couple of
weeks to determine salt usage. Keeping the brine tank salt level at least 1/2 full is recommended.
SANITIZING:
Use 2 oz. of 5 ¼% unscented household chlorine bleach for each cubic foot of resin. Pour bleach directly into the 4”
diameter white brine well located inside the brine tank. Press and hold the
REGEN
for 5 - 6 seconds until the motor starts running. Allow
system to complete the regeneration automatically. Check for other local and state codes which may also specify sanitation methods.
Note: The first step of the regeneration process is to fill the brine tank with the proper amount of water. The brine tank will
only have a very slight amount of water in it after the regeneration cycles are completed.

GENERAL OPERATION
User Displays
When the system is in normal service mode, one of up to five
available User Displays will be shown. Pressing
NEXT
will
alternate between the following displays:
• Current time of day
• Treated water flow rate
• Service contact name and phone number (if entered)
• Remaining Capacity of treated water available
• Remaining days to regeneration (if Day Override is
programmed)
Pressing the
button while in the Capacity Remaining or
Days Remaining displays will decrease the capacity remaining
in ten gallon increments or the days remaining in one day
increments.
To clear the Service Call reminder
, press the
and
buttons simultaneously while the number and banner text
screen is displayed.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at
the preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will
alternate with the header on the display.
Utilizing the control valve’s built-in water meter, a water drop
flashes on the display when water is being treated (i.e. water is
flowing through the system).
Drop will flash while water
is being treated.

Note: As an energy saving feature, the control will automatically turn off all SOLID BLUE or SOLID GREEN display
illumination and keypad illumination after about 5 minutes of the last keypad button push. Any further keypad touch will
cause the re-illumination of the display and keypad, and re-activate keypad control.
