Placing Softener Into Operation - Aquanex AQU36 Manual Del Propietário

PLACING SOFTENER INTO OPERATION

After you have performed the previous initial
power-up steps, you will need to place the
softener into operation. Follow these steps
carefully.
WARNING: If the inlet water valve is opened
too rapidly or too far, media may be lost out
of the tank into the valve or the plumbing.
In the 1/4 open position, you should hear air
slowly escaping from the valve drain line.
NOTE: We recommend that you do not put salt
into the tank until after the control valve has
been put into operation. With no salt in the tank,
it is much easier to view water flow and motion
in the tank.
NOTE: As you advance through each cycle
there will be a slight delay before you can
advance to the next cycle. The hourglass icon
will light while the camshaft is indexing.
Press and hold the Recharge key to start a
recharge.
To Advance Recharge Cycles:
• Simultaneously press Time of Day and
Recharge to advance to the next cycle.
An hourglass will display while cam is
advancing.
When Cam reaches the next cycle, Time
Remaining will be displayed.
• Repeat pressing Time of Day and
Recharge to advance through each cycle.
• To determine which cycle the controller is
in during a recharge, use Table 1. The time
remaining is displayed on the controller.
Find the time remaining below your salt
setting. The cycle column will have the
cycle number.
• Press and hold Time of Day and Recharge
for 3 seconds to advance through all
remaining recharge cycles.
Hourglass will flash.
Camshaft will advance to service - may
take 1 to
2 minutes.
• For cycle times see Table 1.
Before turning on the water supply check the
following:
• All plumbing is installed and secured.
• The valve drain line is in place and the end
is held securely at the drain.
39 • 1/12
• There is no salt in the tank.
• The controller is on and has been
programmed following the three steps. The
display should be showing the time of day
with the colon flashing.
• The inlet water is off and the bypass is not
in bypass

If any of the above are not true please correct
the item before proceeding further.
The following steps will describe how to perform
a quick recharge to verify the system is working
correctly.
1. Turn the incoming water on at a low flow
position. Listen to the water flow. Water is
entering the media tank. Do not open the
valve completely because media may enter
the valve.
2. Start a recharge.
3. Open a service faucet. The salt tank will
begin to fill with water. Air will come out
of the faucet. After all of the air has left
the media tank the water will run without
air spurts. When the salt tank has 3 to 4
inches of water, turn off the faucet and
advance to the next cycle.
4. Turn inlet water on full.
5. The brine prep cycle allows the water in
the salt tank to dissolve the salt. During
this cycle inspect for leaks. If any leaks
are present they should be repaired before
proceeding. If there are no leaks, advance
to the next cycle.
6. Backwash forces water through the media
to the drain. Inspect the water for air
bubbles and small particles. When the
water is running clear, advance to the next
cycle.
7. Brine draw and slow rinse run at the same
time. The discharge to drain will slow down.
The water in the salt tank will lower. If water
is leaving the salt tank, advance to the next
cycle.
