System Start Up
1. Turn on the Water and Check for Leaks
• Close all faucets and turn the water back on at the water meter or
pressure tank.
• Check for leaks. If a leak is present, drain the plumbing again
before soldering.
2. Flush the Remaining Debris from the System
• Before placing your RainSoft TC appliance in service, it is very
important to flush the cold water lines of any debris.
•Open the cold water faucet on your bathtub.
• Let the water run for 5 to 10 minutes until the water runs clear.
• Open all remaining faucets and allow the plumbing to release any
trapped air in the system.
• Close all of the faucets.
3. Open the Bypass Valve
• Move the bypass valve handles to the service position. The valve
handles should be parallel to the pipes (see figure 9).
• Open the bathtub faucet again and allow the system to flush for 20
minutes or until approximately 100 gallons has passed through the
appliance.
4. Flush the Hot Water Heater
• Run hot water in the bathtub until the water tests soft.
5. Add Salt and Program the Computer
• Please refer to the “Customer Settings” on pages 13–14.
6. Sanitize the Conditioner
• Mix a 3/4 cup of common (unscented) 5.25% household bleach
with 1 quart of water. Pour this solution into the brine well.
• Initiate a manual regeneration. The solution will be drawn into the
conditioner during the regeneration process.
• After the system has completed a manual regeneration, the condi-
tioner will be sanitized and ready for use.
Helpful Tip: It is common for
new systems to have some
color in the water. The color
should disappear after you
completely flush the system.
Helpful Tip: This procedure will
prevent dirt and debris from
entering the valve.
Important Note: Do not pour
undiluted bleach into the water
conditioner.
