FLUSHING OF SYSTEM:
To flush the system of any debris and air after installation is complete, please perform the following steps:
1 . Rotate bypass handles to the bypass mode
(see Fig. 2 of page 4)
.
2 . Turn on inlet water and check for leaks in the newly installed plumbing .
3 . Fully open a cold water faucet, preferable at a laundry sink or bathtub without an aerator .
4 . 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
Master Programming Guide or contact the manufacturer .)
1) BACKWASH
4) BRINE TANK FILL
2) BRINE and RINSE DOWN
5) END (returns to Standby)
3) RAPID RINSE
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 or the gallons remaining, manually add 8” of water to the regenerant 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 . With the softener in bypass mode, press and hold the
regen
button until the motor starts . Release button . The display will read
“Pend 0” for about three seconds while the system transfers from one tank to another . After the transfer is complete, the valve will
automatically advance to the “Backwash” position . Once the valve has stopped in this position, 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 from the tank .
CAUTION:
If water flows too rapidly, there will be a loss of media to the drain.
3 . When the water is flowing steadily to the drain, clear and 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 . With the bypass now in diagnostic mode
(Fig. 3 on page 4)
, check to verify that water is being drawn from regenerant tank
with no air leaks or bubbles in the brine line . There should be a slow flow to the drain . Disconnect brine line from the safety float
valve in the brine tank and check for a vacuum . After proper confirmation, reconnect brine line, making sure to tighten securely .
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
(refer to page 10, Brine Tank Maintenance and Salt)
. Restore power .
6 . Push
regen
again and the unit will advance to the “Brine Refill” position . Check to make sure the brine tank is refilling .
The flow rate is usually .5 gpm for all residential and light commercial applications .
7 . Push
next
and the unit will return to normal operation .
8 . Place unit into bypass mode again
(see Fig. 2 on page 4)
and press and hold the regen button to allow control valve to
transfer to the second tank . Follow steps 2-7 to now expel air from this tank .
9 . When finished expelling air from second tank, return bypass handles to normal operating position
(see Fig. 1 on page 4)
.
The unit is now online and soft water is available for use .
10 .
CONDITIONING OF MEDIA
(To flush any remaining debris and air from the system):
1 . Fully open a cold water faucet, preferably at a laundry sink or bathtub without an aerator .
2 . Wait two to three minutes or until water runs clear, then turn water off .
3 . Turn on hot water and check for air, then turn water off after air is discharged .
11 .
SANITIZING OF UNIT UPON INSTALLATION AND AFTER SERVICE
(At this time, it is advised to sanitize the softener):
1 . Open brine tank and remove brine well cover .
2 . Pour 1 oz . of household bleach into the softener brine well .
3 . Replace brine well cover .
NOTE:
Avoid pouring bleach directly onto the safety float components in the brine well .
Unit sanitizing will be complete when the first cycle is run and the bleach is flushed from the softener .
12 . Check time of day . Start-up is now complete .
