Remove locking clip on the brine outlet (fig 8) and insert other end
of the 3/8” tube until it goes no further. Replace locking clip. The salt
tank is flexible and can be moved around the softener as long as it is
connected to it through the 3/8” brine tube.
Attaching the overflow tubing : If the safety overflow is not already
attached to the brine (salt) tank, drill a ¾” hole on the side of the brine
tank about ¾ of the way from the bottom (fig 9). Insert the over flow
fitting from the outside and tighten the nut from the inside to lock it in
place.
Attach the rest of the drain tubing to the overflow fitting and run to the
floor drain with an appropriate air gap, as shown in fig 5. If you do not
have any more drain tubing left, you will need to purchase extra tubing
at your local plumbing retailer. A hose clamp is also recommended to
hold the tubing on the fitting.
Add about 5 gallons of water in the salt tank. This is not a critical level but just helps with
the process for the first regeneration. Then add 2 bags (20 Kg bags) of salt to start with.
Turn the main house shut-off valve on slightly and watch for leaks. Make sure a faucet is
on somewhere and that any aerator is removed to avoid clogging from loosened scale in
the pipes. If you have no leaks, proceed to the next steps.
Turn on the water supply
Using the Allen key (included), turn the bypass inlet slightly to allow water to run into
the unit. The water should initially fill the tank slowly. Once the tank is full of water, you
can open valve fully. This prevents resin from being pushed up into the control head by the initial surge of water going
in.
Make sure there are no leaks in your plumbing before proceeding.
At the nearest cold treated water tap remove the faucet screen and open the faucet.
Using the Allen key (included), open the outlet side of the bypass valve and let water run
a few minutes or until the system is free of any air or foreign material resulting from the
plumbing work. Close the water tap when water runs clean, and then proceed to start
up instructions.
Connect the control valve to the power adapter (fig 10) & connect the adapter to the power supply.
NOTE: Your unit is not yet ready for service until you complete manual regeneration
START UP & PROGRAMMING
The control valve is controlled with simple, user-friendly
electronics displayed on an LCD screen. The display screen can be
lifted and mounted on a nearby wall (within 3 ft) for easy viewing
(fig 8A). The display module has 2 screw slots at the back for wall-
mounting.
When power is first supplied, the valve electronics may take up to two minutes to initialize. During this time the screen will
show “INTIALIZING WAIT PLEASE”. Do not touch any buttons at this time. When the valve reaches the service position, it
will display the following information in sequence:
