7.0 COMMISIONING

The objective of commisioning is to fill the softener and brine tank with

water, check for leaks and prepare it for service. The simplest way to

commission the unit is to initiate a regeneration. This will eliminate the

air from the system and flush the resin prior to use.

Manually add water to the brine tank until it is filled approximately 6”

(100mm) from the bottom of the tank.

Before opening the inlet water supply, ensure that the outlet is shut and

switch on the power supply and press the “REGEN” button on the

valve. “Regen today” will appear at the bottom left of the timer, by

continuing to press the “REGEN” button the motor will power up and

move the valve into the backwash position. Slowly open the inlet valve.

At first, air will be expelled from the drain line, followed by water once

the vessel is full. The first quantity of water will have a tan colouration

which is perfectly normal. Allow water to run to drain until the water is

clear.

Next, press the “Regen” button and the motor will move the valve into

the brine and slow rinse position. Ensure that the water level in the

brine tank drops as water is drawn in. During brine and slow rinse

water will slowly run to drain.

Press the “Regen” button 3 more times (after pressing the button once,

wait for the motor to stop before pressing it again) until the valve

reaches the refill stage. Ensure that water is now refilling the brine

tank. Leave to fill for full duration of the cycle and add salt to the brine

tank. The level the water will reach depends on the type of salt used

and the resin volume of the softener

At the end of the refill cycle the motor will automatically move the valve

back into the service position. The softener is now commissioned.

Open the outlet from the softener to run water to service.

Add salt to the brine tank. If tablet salt is used (recommended) then

the cabinet can be filled to the top. If granular salt is used then the

cabinet must only be 3/4 full.
