Water Treatment Systems
Now programming is completed (if required) you are ready to start the system.
1. Fill the brine tank with ‘water softener’ salt to approximately half full. (salt
not included).
This will require approximately 60kg (this is only required initially).
2. Add approximately 15 litres of water to the salt in the brine tank. This is only required
for the initial setup. Note: the water level will change, this is normal.
3. Open the nearest tap downstream of the filter system (after the filter system).
4. Allow water to flow through the system slowly, and allow all air to escape out of the
closest tap. Wait until the water is flowing out of the tap and then increase the flow
slowly up to full flow. Allow to run for 5 - 10 minutes.
5. Close the opened tap and check for leaks.
6. Conduct a full manual regeneration.
7. Your system is ready for use.
The semi-automatic timer must be manually initiated; by turning the timer knob clockwise
past 30 min, the drain paddle is opened and the valve is transferred to the brine/slow
rinse position; the length of this cycle can be set between 0 and 120 min. At anytime the
regeneration can be cancelled by turning the timer knob back counterclockwise to the off
position.
The regeneration time recommended is 45 minutes, the frequency should be based on the
chart below.
