To begin, place the bypass in the position shown in Figure 1.
Place the softener in the Backwash cycle.
• To place the softener in the Backwash cycle press
and hold the UP ARROW and the DOWN ARROW
buttons at the same time (approx. 6 seconds) until the
control valve initiates a regeneration cycle. The
softener is now in the Backwash cycle. An initial burst
of air will be released to the drain. Leave the unit in
the Backwash cycle until the water running to the
drain runs clear.
• Press the UP ARROW button to advance the
controller to the next cycle. The softener is now in the
Brine/Slow Rinse cycle.
• When the timer begins countdown press the UP
ARROW button to advance the controller to the next
cycle. The softener is now in the 2nd Backwash
cycle.
• When the timer begins countdown press the UP
ARROW button to advance the controller to the next
cycle. The softener is now in the Fast Rinse cycle.
Leave the unit in the Fast Rinse cycle for at least five
minutes.
• While the system is in the Fast Rinse Cycle, manually
fill the brine tank with fresh water until there is
approximately 2” of water above the false bottom.
• Press the UP ARROW button to advance the
controller to the next cycle. The softener is now in the
Brine Tank Fill cycle. Leave the unit in the Brine Tank
Fill cycle for at least one minute. This will ensure that
there is no air trapped in the brine tubing and valve.
IMPORTANT:
After the unit has filled for approximately 1
minute, raise the float to shut off the flow of water
and then check the float valve, brine tubing and
connections for leaks.
• Press the UP ARROW button to advance the
controller to the home position.
• Salt may be placed in the unit at this time.
