Water filling, draining and waterproofness inspection

7.1.1. Start up procedure

1. With the bypass still in Bypass position (inlet and outlet manual valve closed), plug in the 600
series controller to the power source.
2. Proceed to programming according to your system specification if not done yet. See
"Programming", page 28.
3. Start a manual regeneration by pressing
The camshaft will turn into backwash position. Once in this position, unplug the controller from
the power source.
4. With the outlet manual valve still closed, slowly open the inlet manual valve and the bypass.
If you do not have manual inlet/outlet valve but only a bypass, open the nearest faucet close to
the system, then slowly open the bypass valve.
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.
5. Once the drain runs clear and the inlet manual valve fully open, plug in again the controller to the
power source.
6. Press on and on
position. Leave the valve 1 minute in each positions and move to the next one, until C7 is
displayed. When C7 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 life of the softener.
7. Once C7 is completed, the valve will automatically go back into service position. Start again a
manual regeneration by pressing for 3 seconds on
valve will move to backwash position.
8. Press on and on
tank if the water level decrease.
9. Once the draw function is observed and confirmed (level of water in the brine tank or cabinet has
decreased), you may go through each cycle by pushing on
come back to the 'full' level, and then push on
position.
10. Slowly open the outlet manual valve, and close the bypass manual valve. The system is now in
service.
11. Fill the brine tank or cabinet with salt. You may want to mark the level of water in the brine tank/
cabinet when completely refilled with water and full of salt. In the future, after each
regeneration, you can visually control that the quantity of water refilled should be between the 2
marks done. Marking are optional, but may allow to visually detect any irregularity during
regeneration that may lead to softener inefficiency.
12. With the brine tank completely refilled and full of salt, adjust the safety brine float in the brine
well. Make sure the overflow elbow is installed above the float level.
13. After the softener have been running few minutes in service, proceed to hardness test on outlet
water to make sure the water is treated as per requirements.
