4. Commissioning the System
4.1 Introduction.
With the system fully plumbed and the valve programmed commissioning can start.
4.2 Regeneration.
When the system is fully functional the regeneration will happen at the pre-set time (see
programming the valve section). However, running a manual regeneration during
commissioning is the best way of removing air from the system, bedding in the resin and
flushing the system through.
Make sure the water inlet and outlet are closed. Press and hold the regeneration button for 3
seconds. The piston will move to the backwash position. Slowly half open the water inlet to
the system, and then slowly open the outlet to allow the air to be purged from the system.
Once this has been done you can fully open the inlet and outlet and allow the system to
continue through the regeneration cycle, this will allow you to check for leaks and also purge
any remaining air from the system. After a backwash the system will move through a brine
draw routine, rinse and fill before stopping in the service position.
For new systems or after a media change it maybe necessary to run two regenerations to fully
charge the media (check the water at the end of the backwash is running clear).
To initiate a delayed regeneration press the regeneration button once quickly this will start
flashing Regen Today in the bottom left corner of the screen and the system will regenerate at
the pre-set regeneration time. If you wish to cancel this just press the regeneration button
again and the display will disappear.
To initiate an immediate regeneration press and hold the regeneration button until the valve
motor starts to turn.
If during a regeneration cycle you need to skip through the cycle this can be done in the
following way. To skip to the next stage quickly press the regeneration button and this will
take it to the next stage of the regeneration, this can be repeated to get to the end of the
regeneration cycle.
4.3 Service.
Water flows into the valve at the top, down through the media and then up through the ‘riser’
tube in the middle of the vessel. As the water travels through the media the ion exchange
takes place. The controllers are set to automatically regenerate on capacity.
The display on the control can show either of the following; Time, current flow in litres per
minute or remaining capacity, this can be changed by pressing the NEXT button.
