36 Placing Conditioner Into Operation
Rev A
9. Engage the refill cycle to prime the line between the regenerant tank
and the valve (conditioner only).
A. Slowly open the main water supply valve again, to the fully open
position. Be sure not to open too rapidly as that would push the
media out of the media tank.
B. Advance the controller to the regenerant tank Refill position. From
the Backwash 1 cycle, press and hold the SET button. This will
display the current cycle.
C. With the water supply completely open, when you arrive at the
regenerant tank refill cycle, the controller will direct water down
through the line to the regenerant tank. Let the water flow through
the line until all air bubbles have been purged from the line.
D. Do not let the water flow down the line to the tank for more than one
to two minutes, or the tank may overfill.
E. Once the air is purged from the line, press the SET button and the UP
button simultaneously to advance to Treated Water position.
10. Draw water from the regenerant tank.
A. From the treated water position initiate a manual regeneration.
The controller will begin a manual regen, and advance the control
valve to the backwash cycle. Press the SET and UP button to
advance to brine draw/slow rinse cycle.
B. With the controller in this position, check to see that the water in the
regenerant tank is being drawn out of the tank. The water level in
the tank should recede very slowly.
C. Observe the water being drawn from the regenerant tank for at
least three minutes. If the water level does not recede, or goes up,
check all hose connections. C2 should be displayed.
11. If the water level is receding from the regenerant tank you can then
advance the controller back to the treated water position by pressing
SET and the UP buttons simultaneously.
12. Finally, turn on a faucet plumbed after the water conditioner. Run the
faucet until the water runs clear.
NOTE: As you advance through each cycle there will be a slight delay
before you can advance to the next cycle. There will be a pause after
the brine draw and slow rinse cycles (system pause). This cycle allows
the water/air pressure to equalize on each side of the valve discs before
moving on.
