2. After observing fill, press the TOUCH – HOLD button to move the softener into
brining. A slow flow of water to the drain will begin. Verify brine draw from the brine
tank by shining a flashlight into the brine well and observing a noticeable drop in the
liquid level.
NOTE: Be sure a salt bridge is not preventing water with salt contact.
⇒ If the softener does not draw brine:
o nozzle and/or venturi dirty or defective.
o nozzle and venturi not seated properly on gasket.
o restricted drain (check drain fitting and hose).
o defective nozzle and venturi seal.
o other inner valve defect (rotor seal, rotor & disc, wave washer, etc.).
NOTE: If water system pressure is low, an elevated drain hose may cause back
pressure, stopping brine draw.
3. Again, press the TOUCH - HOLD button to move the softener into backwash. Look for
a fast flow of water from the drain hose.
⇒ A slow flow indicates a plugged top distributor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.
4. Press TOUCH - HOLD to move the softener into fast rinse. Again look for a fast drain
flow. Allow the softener to rinse for a few minutes to flush out any brine that may
remain in the resin tank from the brining cycle test.
5. To return the softener to service, press TOUCH - HOLD.
