3. Hold the REGEN button on the controller down for 5 seconds. This will
initiate a manual regeneration.
The controller will indicate that the motor is turning the camshaft to
the cycle C1 (Backwash) position by flashing an hourglass. The
controller will display the total regen time remaining.
If you press and hold the SET button, the controller will indicate the
time remaining in the current cycle.
4. Fill the media tank with water.
A. While the controller is in cycle C1 (Backwash), 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 ¼ 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 final 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.
5. Add water to the regenerant tank (initial fill) (conditioner only).
A. With a bucket or hose, add approximately 4 gallons (15 liters) of
water to the regenerant tank.
If the tank has a salt platform in the bottom of the tank, add water
until the water level is approximately 1 inch (25 mm) above the
platform.
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.
6. Engage the refill cycle to prime the line between the regenerant tank
and the valve (conditioner only).
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. Advance the controller to the Refill (C8) position. From cycle C1
