3.1
Install the softener pressure vessel(s) in a chosen place on a flat firm surface.
3.2
During cold weather, it is recommended to bring the valve back to room temperature before
operating.
3.3
All plumbing for water inlet, distribution and drain lines should be done correctly in accordance
with legislation in force at the time of installation. Install without tension or bending stresses.
3.4
5600: The distribution tube should be cut flush with the top of the tank. 4600: The distribution tube
should be cut 12 mm above the top of the tank (+/- 2 mm). Slightly bevel the ridge in order to avoid
deterioration of the seal whilst fitting the valve.
3.5
Lubricate the distribution tube joint and the joint with a 100% Silicon lubricant. Never use other
types of greases that may damage the valve.
3.6
All soldering on main plumbing and to the drain line should be done before fitting the valve.
Failing to do so can generate irreversible damages.
3.7
Use Teflon ® tape if necessary in order to seal between the drain fitting and the outlet flow
control.
3.8
On units with by-pass, place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold
water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material
(usually solder) that may have resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.
3.9
Place the by-pass in service position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When water flow
stops, slowly open a cold water tap nearby and let run until the air is purged from the unit.
3.10
Plug the valve to a power source. Check that the valve is in service position
3.11
Fill approximately 25mm of water above the grid plate, (if used). Otherwise, fill to the top of the
air check in the brine tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.
3.12
Initiate a manual regeneration, bring the valve into « brine draw and slow rinse position » in
order to draw water from the brine tank until the blockage of the air check; the water level will
be approximatively in the middle of the air check.
3.13
Open a cold water tap and let the water run in order to drain the air out of the circuit.
3.14
Bring the valve in brine refill position and let it get back to service position automatically.
3.15
Now you can add salt to the brine tank, the valve will operate automatically.
