INSTALLATION Continued
14. Manually advance the control valve through the cycle
positions (checking for leaks at each position) and
stopping at the brine fill position. Let the brine fill cycle
automatically complete and the control valve advance to
the service position to ensure the proper amount of water
has been let into the brine tank. Add salt to the brine tank
as needed. Make sure the salt level is always higher than
the water level to maintain the correct salt dosage.
15. Open outlet ball valve. To purge air from the plumbing
system, open each faucet starting from the closest location
to the control valve to the farthest faucet location.

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
(ELECTROMECHANICAL TIMER ONLY)
NOTE: For electronic controls, please refer to the manual
regeneration part of the timer operation section.
If the valve came with a separate electronic timer
service manual, refer to the timer operation section
of the electronic timer service manual.
The water softener should be installed with the inlet,
outlet, and drain connections made in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations, and to meet applicable
plumbing codes.
NOTE: Always remove the meter cable from the meter cap
before opening the timer door.
1. Open the timer door and urn the manual regeneraton knob
slowly in a clockwise direction until the program micro
switch lifts on top of the first set of pins. Allow the drive
motor to move the piston to the first regeneration step and
stop. Each time the program switch position changes, the
valve will advance to the next regeneration step. Always
allow the motor to stop before moving to the next set of
pins or spaces.
2. Position the valve to backwash. Ensure the drain line flow
remains steady for 10 minutes or until the water runs
clear.
3. Position the valve to the brine / slow rinse position. Ensure
the unit is drawing water from the brine tank.
4. Position the valve to the rapid rinse position. Check the
drain line flow, and run for 5 minutes or until the water
runs clear.
5. Position the valve to the start of the brine tank fill cycle.
Ensure water goes into the brine tank at the desired rate.
The brine valve drive cam will hold the valve in this position
to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration.
6. Close and secure the control box cover.
7. Put salt in the brine tank.
Do not use granulated or rock salt.
Salt level must always be above water level in brine tank.
Meter Dome and Union Orientation
Control valves outfitted with an electromechanical timer and
stainless steel water meter include a special male x female
threaded stainless steel union to insure proper installation and
operation of the water meter.
The location of this union in relation to the
control valve and water meter is critical for
proper operation. DO NOT omit or substitute
this special union; it positions the meter dome
at the correct distance from the control valve
and allows re-positioning the water meter
dome for proper operation.
1. Apply a suitable thread sealant to the male threads of the
union and meter body.
2. Thread the union into the OUTLET port of the control valve,
CHECK HEIGHT
then thread the meter into the union. See illustrations
below.
3. Rotate the water meter body so the meter dome is at the
12 o'clock position. Loosen the nut on the union to facilitate
this if required. Once in position, tighten the union nut.
4. Connect the meter cable to the open port in the center of
the meter dome.
5. Continue with the installation of the control valve.
