Step 10)
Make certain BYPASS VALVE INLET and OUTLET KNOBS ARE IN “BYPASS” position. After all plumbing connections have been completed,
open main water shut-off valve and restore power to well pump. Check for leaks and correct as necessary.
Step 11)
Plug CONTROL VALVE POWER CORD into 110v/60Hz, non-switched power source. Program the control valve (refer to page 3-1).
NOTE: Regeneration settings for the control valve are factory preset. The control valve design permits adjustment of the salt setting. This
adjustment may be necessary when unusual operating conditions exist, such as high concentrations of iron, manganese or hardness and/
or high fl ow rates or daily water consumption.
Step 12)
Manually stage control to BACKWASH POSITION. Press and hold REGEN button for 3 seconds. The valve will advance to BACKWASH POSITION.
Unplug power cord to prevent the unit from advancing automatically.
Step 13)
Partially open INLET knob on bypass valve (Figure 3). This will allow the unit to fi ll slowly from the bottom up, reducing air entrapment.
Allow unit to fi ll slowly, failure to do so could result in loss of resin to the drain. Once a steady stream of water, no air, is fl owing to drain
the inlet and outlet knobs on the bypass can be fully opened (refer to Figure 3).
Step 14)
Plug the power cord back into the power source. Press the REGEN button and wait for the valve to advance to the next regeneration position.
Repeat the process until the valve is in Service Position (Time will be on the display).
Step 15)
Refer to Section 3: Programming, on how to set control valve for proper set up and regeneration settings.
SPECIAL SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS:
Under normal circumstances removal of valve should not be required. However, if it must be removed, it can be done by rotating the valve head
assembly to the left or counter-clockwise. Pressure should be relieved before attempting any disassembly. Upon reassembly, all o-rings should
be lubricated with silicone grease. Reattach valve head assembly by rotating to the right or clockwise until valve head assembly is seated to the
tank hand tight.
