Pressure Testing - North Star PA101 Manual

7.
Pressure Testing: To prevent excessive air pressure in the resin tank and plumbing system, do the
following steps in exact order.
¡ Open two or more soft water faucets, both hot and cold.
© Referring to Figure 8, place the bypass valve(s) in ''service''.
¢ Slowly open the main water supply valve, pausing several times to allow the system to pressurize. When
water from opened faucets runs smoothly, with no more air bubbles, close the faucets.
£ Check the installation for leaks. If any rework is needed, observe the cautions on page 10.
8.
Fill the Brine Tank with Water and Salt: Using a pail or hose, add about 3 gallons of water into the brine
tank. Add about 7 gallons into a 24" dia. tank.
Salt capacities are shown in the specifications. Fill the tank with clean water softener salt. Recommended
nugget, pellet, solar, or button salts have less than 1% impurities. See page 23 for additional salt information.

Connect the controller cable(s) to the controller. Be sure the screws are tight. Note: The transformer must
be unplugged before connecting or disconnecting controller cables. If not, it may result in damage to the con-
troller circuits.

move the cursor (>) up and down the menu choices. The Menu/Exit ( ) button enters the value selected and
returns the display back a level. The controller will return to the normal operating screen after 4 minutes if left
in a menu and no selection has been made.

a change in the faceplate display. Repeated beeps means the controller will not accept a change from the but-
ton you have pressed, telling you to use another button.
When the transformer is first plugged in, a screen is displayed for approximately 8 sec-
onds showing the software version, then the following screens are displayed to pro-
