Checking the brine draw and refill function.
1.Disconnect power to the control by unplugging the wall transformer or unplugging the power cord from the bottom of the control.
2.Press down on the top of the drive gear to disengage the cam gear.
3.With the cam gear disengaged, rotate the cam gear counterclockwise to the REFILL position until the air check fills with water, and water flows through the brine line into the brine tank. Do not run for more than three minutes.
4.Press down on the drive gear, and rotate the cam gear counterclockwise to the DRAW/RINSE position. Check that water is being drawn from the brine tank. The water level in the brine tank will recede very slowly. Observe the water level for at least one minute. If the water level does not recede, if it goes up or if air enters the transparent air check chamber and the ball falls and seats, refer to
the Troubleshooting section in this manual.
5.When water is being drawn from the brine tank, press down on the drive gear and rotate the cam gear counterclockwise to just before the SERVICE position. Connect power to the control and allow the motor to drive the cam gear to the SERVICE position. The motor will stop. Run cold water from a nearby faucet until the water is clear and soft.
Air check
Water meter.
In rare instances, the turbine wheel of the water meter can collect small particles of oxidized iron, eventually preventing the wheel from turning.
If the flow indicator light does not blink when conditioned water is flowing from the unit, it is an indication that the turbine wheel is not turning.
1.Disconnect electrical power to the unit.
2.Shut off the water supply or put the bypass valve(s) into the BYPASS position.
3.Relieve resin tank pressure:
A.Remove control valve cover.
B.Press down on the top of the drive gear to disengage the cam gear.
C.With the cam gear disengaged, rotate the cam gear counterclockwise to the BACKWASH position.
Check that there is no water flow through the drain line before performing service or preventative maintenance.
4.Disconnect the water conditioner from the plumbing.

6.Clean all iron deposits and/or debris off the turbine wheel. Excessive accumulation of iron may be removed from the components with a solution of sodium hydrosulfite (or sodium disulfite). Rinse the components thoroughly in clean water after using the iron removal solution.
7.Flush accumulated iron deposits and/or debris from the inside of the valve outlet.
8.Reinstall the turbine wheel into the outlet side of the valve, being certain that the turbine wheel shaft is carefully seated into the bearing of the inner gland.
9.Carefully reinstall the outer gland into the outlet side of the valve. Check turbine rotation.
10.Reconnect the water conditioner to the plumbing and follow Initial
11.Open the downstream faucet (conditioned water) and check to be certain that the flow indicator (colon) is blinking.
