PROGRAMMING

Initial Start Up

The initial start up will probably be done by the technician
installing the softener system. If not, the following instructions
will step you through the process.
1. Complete all plumbing connections: inlet, outlet, drain
line and brine line. Do not add salt at this time.
2. Place the bypass valve in the bypass position. (See
figure 3 page 4) Turn on the main water supply. Open
a cold soft water faucet to flush the piping of any air
and/or foreign material. Run until the water is clear.
3. Manually add 6 inches of water to the brine tank.
4. Now plug the transformer into a 110-volt receptacle.
(Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.) Within 5
seconds the control will automatically align itself into
the softening mode and the display will flash 12:00 (am).
(Figure 7, page 6).
5. Set the time of day. (figure 8, page 7)
6. Push REGEN button and hold it down for 3 seconds.
The system will advance to the “First” position. (Note:
Depending on how the system is programmed it could
read backwash, rinse, brine or fill). Keep pushing
REGEN button until “Rinse” shows in the lower right
hand corner of display. Slowly place the by-pass into
the “diagnostic mode” (see fig 4, page 5). Run water
to the drain until it runs clear. Return the by-pass valve
to the by-pass position (fig 3, page 5). Push REGEN
button until “Time” appears in upper left hand corner
of display.
7. Once again, push REGEN button and hold down for 3
seconds. Keep pushing REGEN button until “Back-
wash” appears. Slowly place the by-pass valve into
the “Diagnostic Mode” 1/2 way. Allow water to slowly
fill the mineral tank. When a solid stream of water
starts coming out of the drain line, open the by-pass
inlet valve all the way and allow to run out the drain
until water clears. Then slowly place the by-pass into
the “normal operation” mode by opening the outlet
side of by-pass valve, figure 2, page 4.
8. Press the regen button until LED display says “BRINE”.
