Once all plumbing is done and plumbing connections have been checked for leaks you
can place the system in service.
7.1—Open bypass valve SLOWLY
If you have more than one system, enure the other systems are bypassed to prevent
any possible problems. Open a faucet that is near the system, a laundry sink or outside
faucet (if it will be treated by the system) is ideal, this will allow the air to bleed out
of the system. SLOWLY open up the bypass valve just to the point of allowing water to
enter the system at a trickle, and leave it like that until the tank is full of water. If you
prefilled the system it should only take a minute or two. Once the tank is full, slowly
open the bypass valve the rest of the way. Allow water to run out of the faucet for 15-
20 minutes to ensure all the air is worked out of the tank and off of the , then close the
faucet.
7.2— CHECK FOR LEAKS
Check the system for any leaks, paying attention to the seal between the tank and
control head as well as the connections between the bypass valve and control head.
Open a nearby faucet and check to ensure there is no leaks that show up when water is
running.
7.3—Flush the system
Open a nearby faucet. The water may be discolored at first, this is normal. Let water
run out of the faucet for at least 10 minutes, or until any discoloration clears up.
Depending on the system this may be almost immediate, or it may take a couple of
hours. Once the water is cleared up a manual regeneration should be run.
7.4—Initiate manual regeneration
It is a good idea to allow the system to run through a manual cycle. On mechanical
valves, turn the main knob until it clicks into the first position. On digital systems,
hold the extra cycle button for 5-10 second until the backwash starts.
7.5—Verify proper operation
Watch the system as it steps through each cycle, make sure it moves to each position,
that water is not leaking from any other fittings, and that water is flowing down the
drain line. The brine line will have water flowing through it during the appropriate
cycles as well. Please Note: Digital systems only With the brine tank empty the
