NOTE: If water appears cloudy or has salty taste, allow it to run for several more minutes, or until
clear.
17. Close all water faucets.
18. Check plumbing work for leaks and fix immediately if any are found.
19. Remove the brine tank cover and add water into the tank. Although the material used in the
manufacturing of this water softener will not contaminate your water supply, the softener could
become contaminated during shipment and installation. The media inside the resin tank may also
have become disturbed during shipping. The following procedure will help re-position the media,
sanitize, flush and condition your water softener:
a) Add 1-1/2 ounces of common household bleach to the water in the cabinet (brine tank).
b) Following the directions in the Control Service Manual, manually advance the softener through
each step of regeneration pausing for 10 minutes in each cycle except the Fill cycle (see step c.).
c) See the enclosed Water Softener Performance Data Sheet for the Fill cycle time associated with
your model.
d) Repeat step 19a and 19c after any service has been performed on your water softener.
20. Turn ON the gas or electric supply to the water heater.
21. Remove the brine tank cover and add salt into the tank. Use only nugget, pellet or coarse solar salt
with a purity of 99.5% or higher. DO NOT use rock, block, granulated, and ice cream-making salts, or
salt with iron removing additives. Keep the cabinet cover closed unless servicing or refilling with salt.
22. Connect electrical power by plugging the transformer into a (120 volt) outlet.
