Softener commissioning

6.1.1. Water filling, draining and waterproofness inspection

Once the previous initial programming steps are performed, that the softener is in place and
hydraulically connected to the main water line (see 4.5.5. Softener installation, page 30), the unit can
be started up.
Follow these steps carefully:
1. With the bypass still in bypass position (inlet and outlet of the valve closed), plug in the XTR
controller to the power source.
2. Proceed to programming according to your system specification if not done yet.
3. Start a manual regeneration by pressing the regen button for 5 seconds. Advance to backwash
cycle by pressing
the XTR controller from the power source.
4. Open the nearest faucet close to the system.
5. With the bypass still in bypass position, put the bypass slowly in service position.
The valve and tank will slowly get filled with raw water, allowing air to be purged by the drain
and/or by the open faucet next to the system. Open the inlet progressively until fully open
position.
6. Once the drain runs clear and the bypass valve is fully in service position, plug in again the XTR
controller to the power source.

6.1.2. Quick cycling

1. Push on the regen button once to move the piston to rapid rinse cycle position. Leave the valve 1
minute in this position and advance to service. Start again a manual regeneration, see chapter
7.4. Manual regeneration, page 70. When refill cycle is displayed, let the valve run the entire
cycle and check the level of water in the brine tank or cabinet. The level of water in the brine tank
should be about 5 cm above the salt platform. You may want to mark the level on the brine tank
as this can be used as an indicator for the future lifetime of the softener.
NOTE

Even variable refill/brining is set on, since it has been no water consumption, but a manual
regeneration is started, a 100% regeneration, regardless from consumption, is started.
