6. Fill the media tank with water.
A. While the controller is in the backwash (C1)
cycle, open the water supply valve very slowly
to approximately the 1/4 open position.
WARNING: If opened too rapidly or too
far, media may be lost out of the tank
into the valve or the plumbing. In the 1/4
open position, you should hear air slowly
escaping from the valve drain line.
B. When all of the air has been purged from the
media tank (water begins to flow steadily from
the drain line), open the main supply valve all of
the way. This will purge the remaining air from
the tank.
C. Allow water to run to drain until the water runs
clear from the drain line. This purges any refuse
from the media bed.
D. Turn off the water supply and let the system
stand for about five minutes. This will allow any
air trapped to escape from the tank.
7. Add water to the regenerant tank (conditioner only).
A. With a bucket or hose, add enough water to
the regenerant tank to have water visable.
Note: We recommend that you do not put regenerant
into the tank until after the control valve has been put
into operation. With no regenerant in the tank, it is
much easier to view water flow and motion in the tank.
8. Press and hold the SET and UP button for five seconds
to cancel regeneration, and cycle the control back to
Time in Minutes
the service position.
9. Start another regeneration. Advance the controller to
3 the brine refill position (C8) to prime the line between
the regenerant tank and the valve (conditioner only).

Note: As you advance through each cycle, there will be

a slight delay before you can advance to the next cycle.
6 There will be a pause after the brine draw and slow
rinse cycles (system pause). This cycle allows the water/

air pressure to equalize on each side of the valve discs.

10. Draw water from the regenerant tank.
11. If the water level is receding from the regenerant
tank, wait for the tank check valve to stop the water
flow. Press the SET and UP buttons to advance the
controller back to the treated water position.
12. Finally, turn on a faucet plumbed after the water
conditioner. Run the faucet until the water runs clear.

A. Slowly open the main water supply valve again
to the fully open position. Be sure not to open
too rapidly, as that would push the media out
of the media tank.
B. With the water supply completely open, when
you arrive at the brine tank refill cycle, the
controller will direct water down through the
line and into the tank. Watch the bottom of
the tank until all air bubbles have been purged
from the line and the water level is rising.
C. Let the water flow down the line to the tank
only until the rising water is visible.
D. Simultaneously press and release the SET and
UP buttons to advance to the Brine Make-up
cycle. After the Brine Make-up cycle is reached,
press the SET and UP buttons to advance to
the Brine Draw/Slow Rinse cycle.
A. With the controller in this position, check to see
that the water in the regenerant tank is being
drawn out of the tank. The water level in the
tank should recede very slowly.
B. If the water in the regenerant tank does not
recede, or goes up, refer to the Troubleshooting
section.
