Step-by-step installation instructions.

Sanitizing Procedures

To complete the installation, do the following sanitizing procedures.

Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the softener will not infect or contaminate your water supply and will not cause bacteria to form or grow. However, during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested when installing.

NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended by the Water Quality Association for disinfecting.

Be sure to complete all installation steps, including programming the control.

Pour about 3/4 oz. (11⁄2 tablespoons) of common 5.25% household bleach (Clorox, Linco, Bo Peep, White Sail, Eagle, etc.) into the brinewell. Refer to illustration on page 6.

IMPORTANT: Press and hold for 3 seconds the faceplate TOUCH/HOLD button to start an immediate regeneration. Recharge Now begins to flash in the display. The bleach is drawn into and through the water softener.

If after sanitization water from house faucet tastes salty or has a slight color, this is a preservative from the resin tank. Turn on the cold soft water faucets and drain for a few minutes or until clear.

NOTE: When the above sanitizing regeneration is over, your house COLD water supply is fully soft immediately. However, your water heater is filled with hard water and as hot water is used, it will refill with soft water. When all the hard water is replaced in the water heater, hot only and mixed hot and cold water will be fully soft. If you want totally soft water immediately, after the above regeneration, drain the water heater until the water runs cold.

WARNING: If you do drain the water heater, use extreme care as the hot water could cause burns. Turn the water heater off prior to draining.

These systems conform to WQA S-100 for the specific capacity claims as verified and substantiated by test data. * Testing was performed using pellet grade sodium chloride as the regenerant salt.

**Extent of iron removal may vary with conditions. Use of Diamond Crystal® Red•Out® or Super Iron Out® will improve iron removal. Refer to Cleaning Iron Out of the Water Softening System section.
