Final Startup
Pressurize the Media Tank
1. Remove the fillport plug, if equipped on the tank, by a 1/4 turn and lifting up. Open the inlet isolation valve about
1/3 to allow water to fill the media tank. Some flow to the drain is to be expected until the system is fully pres-
surized.
2. The pilot valve located on top of the CTM valve body should be in home position (position 1) indicated by the
1 in the window facing the front of the control. If it is not in home position, follow the instructions on manual
cycling in the GBE Programming for Commercial Softeners and Filters (except HFxN) Manual (01027295).
3. When the water has reached the fillport, replace the plug and allow the system to pressurize.
4. Check the system and piping for leaks. If leaks occur, close the inlet valve to depressurize the system and
make the needed repairs before going onto the next step.
5. With the system fully pressurized without leaks the GBE controller can be fully programmed following the
instructions provided in the GBE Programming for Commercial Softeners and Filters (except for HFxN) Manual
(P/N 01027295). This manual can be obtained from your local dealer, Cport (www.cport.culligan.com) under the
Technical Service Tab or the Service Tech App.
Initial Backwash of the System
1. In order to properly purge excessive air in the system. The pilot valve will need to be manually cycled following
the instructions in the GBE Programming for Commercial Softeners and Filters (except for HFxN) Manual (P/N
01027295). The inlet isolation valve should not be fully opened until this step is complete and all air from the
system has been purged.
2. Remain in the backwash position (position 2) for at least 5 minutes or until the water to the drain runs clear.
3. Cycle the pilot valve through the remaining steps and back to the home position unless you need to add water
to the brine tank. The outlet isolation valve must remain closed and the bypass valve must remain open until the
pilot valve is back in the home position (position 1).
Installation Wrap Up

√ Each media tank has been backwashed manually.
√ The GBE controller(s) have been correctly and completely wired, including differential pressure switches if equipped.
√ All GBE controllers have been properly programmed and are active (power on).
√ All manual isolation valves are open and system by-pass valves are closed.
√ Clean up the unit and the installation site, removing any soldering or pipe threading residues from the equipment with

Care and Cleaning
Protect the operation and appearance of the water conditioner by following these precautions:
1. Do not place heavy objects on top of the conditioner cover.
