Start-Up
The conditioner will now need to be placed into operation. Please review Quick Cycling the Con-
trol procedure before attempting start-up.
Do not put regenerant material into the brine tank.
1. W ith the supply water for the system still turned off, position the bypass valve to the "not in
bypass" (normal operation) position.
2. P ress and hold the button on the controller for 3 seconds. This will initiate a manual re-
generation, and cycle to the backwash position.
3. Filling the media tank with water.
A. With the conditioner in backwash, open the water supply valve very slowly to approxi-
mately the 1/4 open position. Water will begin to enter the media tank. Air will begin to be
purged to drain as the media tank fills with water.
WARNING: If 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 escap-
ing from the valve drain line.
B. W hen all of the air has been purged from the media tank (water begins to flow steadily
from the drain line), open the main supply valve all of the way. This will purge the final air
from the tank.
C. A llow water to run to drain until the water runs clear from the drain line. This purges any
debris from the media bed.
D. T urn off the water supply and let the system stand for about five minutes to allow any
trapped air to escape from the media tank.
4. A dding water to the regenerant tank.
A. F rom the service position press the button to initiate a manual regeneration.
B. Q uick cycle the control to the Refill Cycle (C7). The control will place the appropriate amount of
water into the brine tank, then return to the service position..
