Installation Instructions

6 INSTALL GROUNDING CLAMP

DANGER: Failure to properly attach ground clamp could result in electrical shock.

If plumbing is metal, to maintain electrical ground continuity in the house cold water piping, install the included ground clamp as shown.

•Clean pipe with emery paper in the area where the clamp is to be installed.

•Install grounding clamps as shown, making sure clamps fit freely around pipe.

•Make sure lock washer is in place.

•Handtighten screw, then one more full turn with screwdriver.

NOTE: When replacing an existing softener, also replace grounding clamps. If removing softener completely, hard-plumb the water line with same type of pipes as the original to assure plumbing integrity and ground continuity over the life of the home.

7FLUSH PIPES, EXPEL AIR FROM SOFTENER AND TEST YOUR INSTALLATION FOR WATER LEAKS

CAUTION: To avoid water or air pressure damage to softener inner parts, be sure to do the following steps in exact order.

•Place bypass valve in “bypass” position by pushing the stem inward.

•Fully open the house main water pipe shutoff valve. Observe a steady flow from both faucets opened above.

7FLUSH PIPES, EXPEL AIR FROM SOFTENER AND TEST YOUR INSTALLATION FOR WATER LEAKS (CONT.)

•Place bypass valve in the “service” position EXACTLY as follows. KEEP SOFT WATER FAUCETS OPEN.

SLOWLY pull or slide the valve stem (out) toward the service position, pausing several times to allow the softener to pressurize slowly.

•After about 3 minutes, open a HOT water faucet for 1 minute, or until all air is expelled, then close. NOTE: If water appears cloudy or has salty taste, allow to run for several more minutes, or until clear.

•Close all water faucets.

•Check your plumbing work for leaks and fix right away if any are found. Be sure to observe previous caution notes.

•Turn on the gas or electric supply to the water heater. Light the pilot, if applicable.

8ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE BRINE TANK

•Reinstall top cover assembly, align cover with the top of the softener. Push down to snap cover into place. Open the salt hole cover and squeeze the top cover and the blue rim together near the top cover release point to completely assemble the top cover to the rim.

•Slide open the salt hole cover. Add about

3 gallons of water into the tank. Do not add into the brinewell.

•Fill tank with NUGGET, PELLET or coarse SOLAR water softener 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 (except for Diamond Crystal® Red•Out® brand salt). Maximum salt storage capacity is approximately 200 lbs. Keep the salt hole cover closed unless servicing the unit or refilling

with salt.

NOTE: If the softener is installed in a humid basement or other damp area, it is better to fill the tank with less salt, more frequently. Eighty to 100 lbs. of salt will last for several months, depending on water hardness, family size and water softening system model.
