Control Start Up Procedure
- Start Up Procedure -
1. Advance control valve to BACKWASH (cycle 1) position and allow water to run to drain for 3 to 4 minutes.
Warning :
Close valve on bypass prior to selecting the backwash position. After backwash position has
been established, slightly open bypass to evacuate air from the media tank. Fully open valve
when all air is depleted. This procedure will prevent media from being uplifted into control
valve.
2. Advance control valve to BRINE REFILL (cycle 4) position and allow the brine tank to fill just over the salt
grid plate.
3. Advance control valve to BRINE & RINSE (cycle 2) and allow the control valve to draw water from the
brine tank until it stops. If no draw is observed, check tightness of brine line compression fittings.
4. Advance control valve to RAPID RINSE (cycle 3) position and let run to drain for 3 - 4 minutes.
5. Advance control valve to BRINE TANK REFILL (cycle 4) position and allow the control valve to automatical
ly fill the brine tank.
Note:
Control valve will advance to service position automatically.
- Disinfection -
For disinfection of your unit, please follow the Sani-System Procedure on the back of the packet provided.
- Filling The Brine Tank With Salt -
To expect a high level of performance and reliability, a salt manufactured specifically for water softeners
must be used. Salt of this grade is virtually free from dirt and other particulates that would eventually
cause the softener to malfunction. A pellet type salt is recommended, although any high quality water soft
-
ener salt (such as solar salt) will suffice. If iron is present in raw water, use of iron inhibiting salt is recom
-
mended. The salt level will decrease after each regeneration cycle. Consequently, the salt compartment will
need to be checked and replenished periodically.
1. Fill the brine tank or salt compartment with water softener salt as described above. This will be approxi
mately 250 pounds of salt. (150 lbs. for cabinet models.)
Warning:
Do not fill salt above level of the brine well.
2. Replace brine tank lid.
