Start-Up
Place approximately 1” of water above the grid plate (if used) in your salt tank. Salt may be placed in the unit at this time.
Place softener in a bypass position. Turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks. Open a cold water faucet near the
softener and run a few minutes until the system is free of any foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted from the
installation.
Plug unit into electrical outlet. Do not insert meter cable into the meter at this time.
Electrical connections must be connected according to codes.
Advance the softener control to the backwash position. Slowly shift the bypass into the service position so that the water flows into
the mineral tanks. When water appears at the drain, shift the bypass valve to fully open. Continue to backwash until the water at
drain is clear.
Start REGEN to fill second tank. Backwash until the water at drain is clear.
