STEP 8: Add 4 gallons of water to the brine tank. DO NOT ADD SALT TO THE BRINE TANK AT
THIS TIME.
STEP 9: Install overflow tubing from overflow elbow on brine tank to floor drain. Tubing must be lower
than overflow elbow at all times. DO NOT CONNECT DRAIN LINE FROM SOFTENER
CONTROL VALVE TO BRINE TANK OVERFLOW. DO NOT CONNECT BRINE TANK
DRAIN LINE TO THE SOFTENER DRAIN LINE.
STEP 10: Plug the softener into an un-switched electrical outlet. Ensure control valve is in the “Service”
position (time of day is displayed on the screen {refer to page 8 for Home Screen Display}).
Place bypass valve in the “Bypass” position (refer to Figure 4 below). Open main supply valve
or turn on power to pump on private well systems.
STEP 11: Using the REGEN button, advance the control valve to the backwash position (refer to pages 9
and 10 for operation).
STEP 12: Refer to Figure 4 bypass valve operation. Rotate the INLET knob of the bypass valve ¼ of the
way to Service allowing unit to fill slowly. Filling the mineral tank with the control valve in the
backwash position will force any trapped air to the drain. When all air has been purged from
the system and only water is running to the drain advance the control valve to the BRINE
DRAW cycle. Fully rotate both the inlet and outlet knobs of the bypass valve to the “Service”
position.
STEP 13: Verify that the water level in the brine tank is dropping. Allow water level to drop below the salt
grid before continuing. If the water level does not drop, refer to page 17 for Troubleshooting.
After verifying water level is dropping advance control valve to the fast rinse position by press
the NEXT button. Wait 1 minute and press the NEXT button again to advance the control valve
to the service position.
STEP 14: Check for leaks and correct as necessary.
STEP 15: Turn power or fuel supply back on to water heater.
STEP 16: Set the hardness & iron concentrations on the control valve (refer to timer operation for
instruction).
STEP 17: Set the current time of day on the timer (note AM and PM).
STEP 18: Add at least 40 lbs of water softener salt to the brine tank.
