Programming The Control - GE GXSS20H Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Step-by-step installation instructions.
7. FLUSH PIPES, EXPEL AIR FROM SOFTENER,
AND TEST YOUR INSTALLATION FOR
WATER LEAKS:
CAUTION:
damage to softener inner parts, be sure to do the
following steps in exact order.
A. Fully open 2 cold soft water faucets nearby
the softener.
B. Place bypass valve in "bypass" position by
pushing the stem inward.
C. Fully open the house main water pipe shutoff
valve. Observe a steady flow from both faucets
opened in step A, above.
D. Place bypass valve in the "service" position
EXACTLY as follows. KEEP SOFT WATER
FAUCETS OPEN.
SLOWLY pull or slide the valve stem (out)
toward the service position, pausing several
times to allow the softener to pressurize slowly.
E. After about 3 minutes, open a HOT water faucet
for 1 minute, or until all air is expelled, then
close. NOTE: If water appears cloudy or has salty
taste, allow to run for several more minutes, or
until clear.
F. Close all water faucets.
G. Check your plumbing work for leaks and fix
right away if any are found. Be sure to observe
previous caution notes.
H. Turn on the gas or electric supply to the water
heater. Light the pilot, if applicable.

8. ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE BRINE
TANK:
• Lift the cabinet (brine tank) cover. Add about
3 gallons of water into the tank. Do not add into
the brinewell.
• Fill tank with NUGGET, PELLET or coarse SOLAR
water softener salt with a purity of 99.5% or higher.
Do not use rock, block, granulated, and ice cream-
making salts, or salt with iron-removing additives
(except for Diamond Crystal
salt). Salt storage capacity is approximately 200 lbs.
Keep the salt hole cover in place on the softener
unless servicing the unit or refilling with salt.
NOTE: If the softener is installed in a humid
basement or other damp area, it is better to fill the
tank with less salt, more frequently. Eighty to 100
lbs. of salt will last for several months, depending
on water hardness, family size and water softening
system model.
9. CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL POWER:
• Remove packaging material from the outside
of the transformer. DO NOT PULL ON OR
DISCONNECT WIRING.
• The softener works on 24 volt-60Hz electric
power. The included transformer changes
standard 120-volt AC house power to 24 volts.
Plug the transformer into a 120-volt outlet only.
Be sure the outlet is always live so it can not be
switched off by mistake.
10. PROGRAM THE CONTROL:
• See Programming the Control section.
