1. Manually index the softener control into the service position and let water flow into the resin tank. When the water flow stops, open a softened water tap until all air is released from the lines, then close the tap.

Note: the various regeneration positions may be dialed manually by turning the knob on the front of the control until the indicator shows that the softener is in the desired position.

2. Manually index the control to the backwash position and allow water to flow at the drain for 3 or 4 minutes.

3. Remove back cover plate.

4. Make sure that the salt dosage is set as recommended by the manufacturer. If necessary, set salt in accordance with the setting instruction sheet. Manually index the control to the brine fill position and allow the brine tank to fill to the top of the air check.

5. Manually index the control to the brine draw position and allow the control to draw water from the brine tank until it stops.

6. Plug in the electrical cord and look in the sight hole in the back of the motor to see that it is running. Set the days that regeneration is to occur by sliding tabs on skipper wheel outward to expose trip fingers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving clockwise from red pointer, extend or retract fingers to obtain the desired regeneration schedule.

7. Manually advance the control to the beginning of the brine fill position; and allow the control to return to the service position automatically.

8. Fill the brine tank with salt.

9. Replace back cover on the control.

10. Make sure that any by-pass valving is left in the normal service position.

1. The filter should be installed with the inlet, outlet, and drain connections made in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and to meet applicable plumbing codes.

BEFORE PLUGGING THE UNIT IN

2. Open a treated water tap down stream of the filter.

3. Manually index the filter to the service position and allow the mineral tank to fill by slowly opening the main water supply valve. ( any by pass should be in the service position) NOTE: The water flowing from the down stream tap will be cloudy and/or contain media fines as well as air. Allow water to run until it appears clean and free of air.

4. When a steady clean flow appears at the tap, close the tap and the main water supply valve and allow the filter media bed to settle 15 - 20 minutes.

5. Manually index the filter to the backwash position.

6. To prevent a sudden surge of water and air, partially open the main water supply valve so that the flow at the drain of the filter is approximately 1 gpm. The water at the drain will again be cloudy and/or contain media fines as well as air. Allow water to run until it appears clean and free of air.

7. Continue to open the water supply valve until it is completely open. Allow water to flow at the drain until all media fines are washed out of the filter.

8. Manually index the filter to the service position, and again open the down stream tap. Check to be sure that the water flows clear. If necessary allow water to flow until all media fines are gone. If the tap is equipped with an aerator check that it is not plugged with media fines and pipe scale.

9. Plug in the electrical cord and look in the sight hole on the back of the timer motor to ensure that it is running.

NOTE: The various regeneration positions may be dialed manually by turning the knob on the front of the control until the indicator shows that the softener is in the desired position.

2. Set water usage program wheel using any one of the following procedures:

Typical Residential Application

To program, just set the time, set the hardness and it automatically monitors system needs and regenerates only when necessary. To set time of day press red time set button and turn 24 hour gear until present time of day is at “time of day”. Set program wheel by lifting the “people” dial and rotating it so that the number of people in the household is aligned with the household grains per gallon water hardness. Release the dial and check for firm engagement at setting. (This method will provide reserve capacity based on 75 gallons per person.)

Optional Programming Procedures

Calculate the gallon capacity of the system, subtract the necessary reserve requirement and set the gallons available at the small white dot on program wheel gear. Note, drawing shows 850 gallon setting.

GRAINS PER GALLON WATER HARDNESS SCALE

WHITE DOT LABEL

The capacity (gallons) arrow denotes remaining gallons exclusive of fixed reserve.

3. Rotate the program wheel counterclockwise until it stops at regeneration position.

4. Manually index the control to the back-wash position and allow water to flow at the drain for 3 or 4 minutes.

5. Remove back cover plate.

6. Make sure than the salt dosage is set as recommended by the manufacturer. Manually index the control to the brine fill position and allow the brine tank to fill to the top of the air check.

7. Manualy index the control to the brine rinse position and allow the control to draw water from the brine tank until it stops.

8. Plug in the electrical cord and look in the sight hole in the back of the montor to see that it is running.

9. Manually advance the control to the beginning of the brine fill position and allow the control to return to the service position automatically.

10. Fill the brine tank with salt.

11. Replace back cover on the control. Be sure cable is not pinched between cover and housing.

12. Make sure that any by-pass valving is left in the normal service position.
