System Installation & Startup Guidelines
1. Clear the installation area and carefully sweep the oor where the system will be installed.
2. Test incoming water pressure and make sure it is 30 - 75 psi static. A code-compliant pres-
sure regulator must be installed to protect the system on all municipal water installations.
3. Check to conrm that the water heater has adequate heat expansion protection.
4. Install the system, drain, and brine tank overow according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and prevailing local code.
5. Bypass the system.
6. Run bathtub cold to purge piping of debris and chemical residue from installation.
This will take approximately 5 minutes at 3 gpm.
7. Leave bathtub running and slowly open the inlet valve to the system.
8. Slowly open the outlet valve from the system.
9. Observe ow of water from the bathtub. Water will become a dark brown/black color.
This color is caused by the system disinfectant/preservative as well as dust from shipping
and handling. Allow water to run until clear. Observe water for particles. If resin or other
softening media particles are found in the water, bypass the system and call tech-sup-
port. Leave bathtub running.
10. Enter programming mode:
• Program the system to match the installation conguration and operating condi-
tions.
• Begin a cleaning cycle by pressing and holding the REGEN button for at least 5
seconds.
• Advance the system through each cycle step by pressing the REGEN button.
• Observe the system during each cycle and then progressively advance to the
next until the regeneration terminates.
11. Once the system has been advanced to normal operating mode, observe the ow of
water from the bathtub again for any sign of disinfectant or resin. Allow water to run clear.
Turn bathtub off.
