5. Start up: Leave Bypass in “bypass” mode, open main valve and flush for several minutes in order to avoid impurities from entering the softener. When you do not use a Bypass, open the main valve slowly as described in 5.4. Before filling the salt container with salt, check that the partition wall is correctly in place (between the small brackets, and all the way down to the bottom of the salt container).

Turn bypass slowly “service” mode. Open the main valve when you do not use a Bypass. Open a tap behind the softener so a flow runs through it. Some air may flow from the tap; this comes from the softener. This will happen only once; at start-up. Once only water flows from the tap, and no more air, close the tap.

Let regeneration perform until it stops automatically. The estimated time is approx. 12 minutes. When regeneration has stopped, no more water flows to the drain. This is a clear indication that the regeneration stage is over. 5.6.3 Open a tap behind the softener for several minutes to allow residual water to be flushed from the tubing.
