Pressurize the Media Tank

1. Remove the fillport plug, if equipped on the tank, by a 1/4 turn and lifting up. Open the inlet isolation valve about
1/3 to allow water to fill the media tank. Some flow to the drain is to be expected until the system is fully pres-
surized.
2. The pilot valve located on top of the CTM valve body should be in home position (position 1) indicated by the
1 in the window facing the front of the control. If it is not in home position, follow the instructions on manual
cycling in the GBE Programming for Commercial Softeners and Filters (except HFxN) Manual (01027295).
3. When the water has reached the fillport, replace the plug and allow the system to pressurize. While filling the
tank, cycle the pilot valve several times to start purging the air on both sides of the pistons. Once the air has all
been purged, only water, and not air will be discharged to the drain.
4. Check the system and piping for leaks. If leaks occur, close the inlet valve to depressurize the system and make
the needed repairs before going onto the next step.
5. With the system fully pressurized without leaks the GBE controller can be fully programmed following the
instructions provided in the GBE Programming for Commercial Softeners and Filters (except for HFxN) Manual
(P/N 01027295). This manual can be obtained from your local dealer, Cport (www.cport.culligan.com) under the

Fill the Salt Storage Container

Before filling the brine tank with salt, add water until it is visible at the salt plate level. Then refer to
to find the regeneration capacity based on the chosen salt dosage.
The following terms will be helpful to know:
• Max. Salt Fill, lbs - This value is the maximum number of pounds of salt that can be put into the brine tank. This
may be less than the total capacity depending on whether there is wet or dry storage (see definitions below).
• No. of Regens - This is the number of softener sytems regenerations that can be obtained from the maximum salt
fill.
• Wet or Dry - This column will note whether wet or dry storage is required
• Dry Storage - When enough salt is added to the brine tank, so that the salt level is higher than the water level.
When the proper amount of water is returned to the salt storage tank during brine refill (see Figure 55).
• Wet Storage - When the salt level has to remain lower than the water level after refill to prevent the displacement of
the volume of water required for salt dosages of 12 lb/ft
