Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont.
Step 11 Fill the Brine Cabinet With Salt
A. Fill the brine cabinet with salt. (See Figure 8.) Use
clean, white pellet or solar salt. Do not mix pellet
with solar salt.
Note: Always keep the salt level above the water
level. For convenience, completely fill the tank when
refilling with salt.
B. After you add salt, including adding it after the tank
has run out of salt, wait two hours for saturated
brine before starting any regeneration.
Caution: Use of potassium chloride when iron
and/or manganese are present in the raw water
supply is not recommended.
Step 12 Complete the Installation
A. Ensure that the bypass is left in the Service
position. See Bypass Valve.
Figure 6: Fill Brine Cabinet With Salt
B. Ensure the water supply is on.
C. Open the inlet valve and turn on the electricity to the water heater. For gas water heaters,
return the gas cock to “On.”
D. Open a cold water tap and allow the appliance to flush for 20 minutes or until approximately
72 gallons (275 L) have passed through the appliance. This procedure is required to meet
NSF compliance. Verify the flow rate on the controller, which indicates water flow.
See Figure 10.
E. Test the water at the nearest tap to verify soft water.
F. Place the cover on the cabinet.
G. Close the salt port lid.
