WARNING: If opened too rapidly or too far, media may be lost out of the tank into the valve or the plumbing. In the ¼ open position, you should hear air slowly escaping from the valve drain line.

B.When all of the air has been purged from the media tank (water begins to flow steadily from the drain line), open the main supply valve all of the way. This will purge the final air from the tank.

C.Allow water to run to drain until the water runs clear from the drain line. This purges any refuse from the media bed.

D.Turn off the water supply and let the system stand for about five minutes. This will allow any air trapped to escape from the tank.

NOTE: 263 Filter - advance control back to the treated water position, proceed to Step 12.

8.Add water to the regenerant tank (initial fill) (conditioner only).

A.With a bucket or hose, add approximately 4 gallons (15 liters) of water to the regenerant tank.

If the tank has a salt platform in the bottom of the tank, add water until the water level is approximately 1 inch (25 mm) above the platform.

NOTE: We recommend that you do not put regenerant into the tank until after the control valve has been put into operation. With no regenerant in the tank, it is much easier to view water flow and motion in the tank.
