Manual Regeneration; By-Pass - Kinetico 2030s Owner's Manual

Manual Regeneration

If your salt storage tank does run out of
salt, you can manually regenerate the unit
after adding salt, or you can wait for it to go
through regeneration automatically.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push down
firmly on the softener valve screw (Fig. 4) and
slowly turn clockwise until the actuator has advanced the indicator dot to the
"BRINE" position (Fig. 4). You should hear at least five "clicks" while turning
the screw before the indicator dot reaches the "BRINE" position. At this point
you should hear water begin to run through the system. If you do not hear water
running through the system, the indicator dot has not been advanced far enough.
Repeat the procedure for manual regeneration after the water flow stops (11 to 90
minutes, depending on the model) to be sure both resin tanks are regenerated.
Note: If your hot water tank has refilled with hard water, it may take several
days for it to empty and for your water to feel soft again.

By-pass

There may be times when you need to shut off the water supply to your entire
house. To do this, set the by-pass valve to the RED, "OFF" position. No water
will flow through the house. To restart the water, set the by-pass valve to the
GREEN, "IN SERVICE" position. You may put the softener into by-pass at any
time, if necessary, by putting the by-pass valve into the YELLOW, "BY-PASS"
position. You will still get water throughout the house; however, all of the water
will be untreated. To return the softener to service, set the by-pass valve to the
GREEN, "IN SERVICE" position.
Note: By-pass styles vary and yours may not be as described.
