Aqua-Pure AWS150M - Manual (Page 16)

IMPORTANT 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 index-
ing. There may be a pause at cycle C4 (System Pause). This cycle allows the water/air pressure to equalize on each side of the valve discs before moving on.
The hourglass will not be visible indicating that the system is paused.
C) With the water supply completely open, when you arrive at cycle C8 (Refi ll), the controller will direct water down through the line to the brine tank. Let
the water fl ow through the line until all air bubbles have been purged from the line (Figure 13).
D) Do not let the water fl ow down the line to the tank for more than one to two minutes, or the tank may overfi ll.
E) Once the air is purged from the line, press the SET button and the UP button simultaneously to advance to cycle C0 (Treated Water) position.
7) Draw water from the brine tank.

A) From the treated water position (cycle C0), advance the valve to the brine draw position. Hold the REGEN button down for 5 seconds.
The controller will begin a manual regen, and advance the control valve to the cycle C1 (Backwash). Press the SET and UP button to advance to cycle C2
(Draw).
B) With the controller in this position, check to see that the water in the brine tank is being drawn out of the tank. The water level in the tank should recede
very slowly.
C) Observe the water being drawn from the tank for at least three minutes. If the water level does not recede, or goes up, reference the Troubleshooting
section.
8) If the water level is receding from the tank you can then advance the controller back to the treated water (C0) position by pressing SET and the UP buttons
simultaneously to advance the controller to the C0 position.
9) Before loading salt add enough water back to the brine tank to cover the salt grid by approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm). Then add initial salt fi ll to brine tank,
and one cup full of unscented laundry bleach to the brine well.
10) Put softener through a complete regeneration - to sanitize the system before use (refer to previous section for instructions on manual regeneration).
11) After the regeneration is complete, turn on a faucet plumbed after the water softener. Run the faucet until the water runs clear.
Installation is now complete, and your water softener is now ready for service!
