SYSTEM START UP:
When a carbon or any other filter is installed ahead of the softener, perform the start up on that
system first, then the softener. This will prevent possible damage to the softener valve
10. Confirm system is plumbed correctly: inlet on left, outlet on right –
Is the drain properly connected? Place the softener system on bypass. Open a faucet without an
aerator, such as a bath tub or outdoor faucet, and close all other faucets. Turn on the water and allow
the system to rinse for a few minutes to rinse the plumbing. Next open the bypass valve and rinse
the softener. It is normal to see some yellow color throw from the system. That will rinse clear
right away.
11. Advance to backwash:
Press the SCROLL button 2 times. The display will start a 10 second count down. At zero the motor will
start and advance to cycle 1. Wait for the motor to stop in cycle 1. Air will purge from tank. Allow to
run until there is a steady flow of water at the drain.
12. Advance to brine and rinse:
Press the SCROLL button to advance to the next cycle. The motor will start and advance to cycle 2.
Wait for it to stop. Disconnect brine line at the brine tank to confirm suction by placing thumb on the
end of the tubing, and then leave disconnected for the next step.
13. Advance to Fast Rinse/Brine refill:
Press the SCROLL button to advance to the next cycle. The motor will start and advance to cycle 3.
Wait for the motor to stop. Water will flow to the drain and the brine line at the same time. Verify you
are achieving the proper flow (0.5 GPM for 1.5 models and 1.0 GPM for the 2.0 model). Then reconnect
and lift up on the float in the brine tank while checking all fittings for leaks (this will pressurize the brine
connections and is a common mistake).
