cock to “On.”
D. Open a cold water tap and allow the appliance to flush for 20 minutes or until approximately 72 gallons
(270 liters) have passed through the appliance. This procedure is required to meet NSF compliance.

the correct amount of water into the brine cabinet.
B. Ensure the appliance is in Service position and your water supply is turned on.
C. Press the Regenerate button to advance to the Brine Refill (04) position. Let the tank fill with the proper amount of
water. The controller will then step the valve to the Home position. Note: This initial startup is the only time you will
add water to the brine cabinet. Do not add water at any other time.
A. Fill the brine cabinet with salt. Use clean white pellet, cube-style, or solar salt. Do not mix pellet with solar salt.
Note: Always keep the salt level above the water level. For convenience,
completely fill the tank when refilling with salt.
A. After you add salt, including adding it after the tank has run out of salt, wait two hours for saturated brine before
starting any regeneration.
Warning: Use of potassium chloride when iron and/or manganese
are present in the raw water supply is not recommended.
