MARK 10 AUTOMATIC WATER CONDITIONER
Start-Up Procedure
NOTICE: A sanitizing agent has been added to the condi-
tioner tank at the factory. This sanitizing agent must be flushed
out before the unit is placed into service by initiating a
recharge using the steps outlined below.
1. With the timer in the service position, connect the three-
wire power cord to an appropriate grounded electrical
outlet. If a three-wire outlet is not available, purchase a
“three-prong to two-prong adapter” from your local hard-
ware store. The ground wire from the adapter should be
affixed to the outlet box or plate.
2. Set the timer to the correct time of day, time of recharge,
frequency of recharge, and refill regulator assembly to
the proper number.
3. With the unit in the service position, slowly open the
inlet valve or slowly push the blue knob of the
Cul-Flo-Valv
®
bypass. Allow water to fill the tank.
4. Turn the water off. Rotate the cam with the salt dosage
dial one third turn. Slowly open the valve. For units
equipped with the Soft-Minder
®
meter, push the red
button on the timer mechanism.
5. Rotate the salt dosage cam until the notch in the gear is
over the idler gear (see page 10, Service Position). A
manual regeneration should be initiated at this time.
6. To allow the customer to enjoy the benefits of soft water
at this time, it is advisable to drain the hot water tank of
the hard water and allow it to be refilled with soft water.
Otherwise, because of the capacity of the hot water tank,
it may take two or three days to displace the hard water
with soft water in the hot water tank.
7. Explain to the customer the operation of the bypass
valve(s) and make sure that the customer knows that there
will be new sounds associated with the recharging and
operating of the unit.
8. Advise the customer to periodically check and replenish
the salt supply.
9. Clean up the unit and the installation site, removing any
soldering or pipe threading residues from the equipment
with a damp towel.
