SYSTEM START UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Confirm the system is plumbed in correctly: inlet on left, outlet on right.
2. DO NOT add salt yet. If you made any mistakes, make the necessary corrections before continuing
with the startup procedure.
3. When turning the water back on to the house, leave system in bypass mode. Then turn water on to
house and check for leaks. Run the cold water in bathtub to flush debris and air from lines.
(Bathtubs do not have aerators that may plug with debris.)
4. Press the SCROLL button 2 times. The display will start a 10 second count down. At zero the motor
will start and advance to cycle 1. Wait for the motor to stop in cycle 1, then slowly open the inlet valve
partially to purge air from tank. Allow to run until there is a steady flow of water at the drain. Once all
air is purged you may open inlet fully.
5. Press the SCROLL button to advance to the next cycle. Motor will start and advance to cycle 2. Wait
for it to stop. Disconnect brine line at brine tank to confirm suction by placing thumb on the end of
the tubing, and then reconnect brine line to brine float.
6. Press the SCROLL button to advance to the next cycle. Motor will start and advance to cycle 3. Wait
for the motor to stop. Confirm water is filling tank, lift up on the float in the brine tank and check all
fittings for leaks (water leaks will cause brine tank overfill). Once you complete this step you may
now open outlet on bypass.
7. Press the SCROLL button to advance to the home position. The control will display home screen.
Press the scroll button 2 times. The 10 second countdown will begin and regeneration cycle will start
again. Wait for motor to stop at cycle 1, then advance by pressing scroll button 1 time. Wait for motor
to stop at cycle 2, then advance to cycle 3 by pressing scroll button 1 time. Leave in cycle 3 for the
duration of the cycle. Confirm refill and add salt to tank. The system will add the correct of water to
the salt tank.
8. Go to faucet. Run cold water 5-10 minutes and test hardness. Run cold water until you achieve soft
water. While the water is running, check the gallons remaining on the home screen and verify that
the number is decreasing. This will confirm that the system is counting gallons. Run a faucet on the
hot water side until it runs cold to drain hot water tank. If you do not want to waste water and skip
this step, it will take some time to exchange all the untreated water in the plumbing and hot water
tank.
