Start-up Instructions
Top view of softener valve.
Actual disc colors may vary. Colors shown
are for illustration purposes only.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push
down firmly on the softener valve
screw and slowly turn clockwise,
listening for four (4) clicks to start
the regeneration. At this point you
should hear water begin to run
through the system. If you do not
hear water running through the
system, the disc has not been
advanced far enough.
After the system has finished, open
a tap in the home to release trapped
air from the lines, allow the tap to
run for one (1) minute.
When the installation is
complete, you must chlorinate
plumbing lines for sanitization.
Use common household
bleach. The amount of bleach
needed can vary depending
on plumbing size.
After the system has completed the
regeneration and all taps are closed,
check all connections for leaks.
Softener Sanitization Procedure
A. Regenerate the water softener unit with sodium chloride (salt). Use a clean grade
of salt appropriate for use with water treatment equipment. DO NOT USE ROCK
SALT.
B. Mix 1 fluid ounce of unscented household bleach in 1 gallon of clean/soft water.
C. Disconnect the brine line and put the 3/8 tube into the container holding the
bleach mixture from the step above. A length of ⅜” tubing may be used
temporarily if needed.
