6.5 Turn on the first cold water tap after the water softener so a flow runs through the
water softener. Some air may flow from the tap, this is coming from the softener as
excess air is purged from it. This will happen only once at start up. When only water
flows from the this tap, close the tap.
6.6 Perform a manual regeneration. Follow steps 6.6 (a) - 6.6 (c)
6.6 (a) Use the 5mm allen key supplied to turn the programme disc (shown in
diagram 1 below) manually.
Turn the programme disc slowly counter clockwise until it is in the position
shown in diagram 2 below. When the arrow and the small line on the trans-
parent cover reach the area marked ‘B’ (brining), the regeneration will start.
Immediately, the programme disk will drop down slightly (you will be able to
see and hear this) at this point you will hear or see a trickle of water going to
drain and the water level in the container will start to drop.
About 3/4 through the regeneration you will hear a change in tone as the
programme disc reaches ‘R’ (refill) and the softener refills the container
with approx 1 litre of water ready for the next regeneration.
6.6 (b) Finally, at the end of the regeneration cycle you will hear the water go to
drain and then stop. This is a clear indicator that the regeneration stage is
over. Depending on water pressure the regeneration cycle will last between
8 and 12 minutes.
6.6 (c) Check outgoing hardness with the second hardness test strip provided. Test
the water at the first cold water tap after the softener.
