● After installation is complete, rotate bypass handles to bypass mode
(see Fig. 2 on page 4).
● Turn on water and check for leaks.
● Fully open a cold water faucet -- preferably a laundry sink or bathtub with no aerator.
● Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris which may have occurred during installation.
System regeneration sequence is in the following order. (If it is desired to change this sequence,
please refer to the Dealer Manual or contact the manufacturer.)
1) BRINE TANK REFILL
2) 1.5 HOURS (90 minutes) OF SOFTENING MODE WHILE SALT IS DISSOLVING
3) BACKWASH
4) BRINE DRAW AND SLOW RINSE
5) FAST RINSE
6) END (return to service)
The system is now ready for filling with water and for testing.
1. With the softener in the bypass mode
(Fig. 2 on page 4)
and the control valve in normal
operation where the display shows either the time of day, flow rate of treated water or
the gallons remaining: Manually add 5" of water to the brine tank.
NOTE:
If too much water is put into the brine tank during softener start up it could result in a
"salty water" complaint after the first regeneration.
During the first regeneration the unit will draw out the initial volume of brine/regenerant and refill
it with the correct preset amount.
2. Press and hold the
REGEN
button until the motor starts. Release button. The display reads "FILL"
and the remaining time in this step is counting down. Check to verify that the brine tank is
filling at a rate of 1/2 gallon per minute. Since the brine tank was already filled in Step 1
press
REGEN
again and the display will read SOFTENING 90 (During a full regeneration this will
be a 1.5 hour period for salt to dissolve). Press
REGEN
again to put the valve into "BACKWASH."
Unplug the transformer so that the valve will not cycle to the next position. Open the inlet handle of
the bypass valve very slightly allowing water to fill the tank slowly in order to expel air.
CAUTION: If water flows too rapidly there will be loss of media to the drain.
3. When the water is flowing steadily to the drain without the presence of air, slowly open the inlet
valve. Restore power and momentarily press the
REGEN
button to advance the control to the
"BRINE" position.
4. The bypass is now in the diagnostic mode
(Fig. 3 on page 4).
Check to verify that water is being
drawn from brine tank with no leaks or bubbles in the brine line. There should be a slow flow
to the drain.
5. Momentarily press
REGEN
again until the display reads "RINSE." There should be a rapid flow to the
drain. Unplug transformer to keep the valve in the "RINSE" position. Allow to run until steady, clear
and without air. While the unit is rinsing load the brine tank with water softener salt. Restore power.
6. Place bypass valve in the normal operating mode
(Fig. 1 on page 4)
by opening the outlet bypass
handle. Press
REGEN
and the unit will return to the service position with time of day being displayed.
