Start Up Instructions
NOTICE
The mineral tank with the control valve is considered Tank
1 and the mineral tank with the tank adapter is considered
Tank 2. See Control Valve Position Indicator image below
for reference.
During cold weather, the installer should warm the valve to
room temperature before operating.
1. Ensure all inlet and outlet isolation valves are in the closed posi-
tion, the bypass valve is in the service position, and the treated
water faucet hot and cold side are in the open position.
2. Open the main water supply valve to the building.
3. Check for leaks and repair as needed.
4. Plug the power cord of the control valve into an electrical
outlet to energize system.
5. To Fill the first mineral tank with water, locate "Manually
Initiating a Regeneration" in this manual and follow the
steps to place the system in the backwash position. For
SXT Controller see page 16. Reference the position indica-
tor shown in Figure 1 below, located on the right side of the
control valve's powerhead.

6. Open the inlet isolation valve slightly until water can be heard
flowing through the isolation valve and allow the mineral tank
to fill with water. Air will come out of the drain line until the
mineral tank is full of water.
7. Once water flow at the drain line is observed, plug the sys-
tem into the power outlet and advance the system through
the remaining steps of regeneration by pressing the extra
cycle button each time the control valve come to a stop until
the position indicator arrives in the "Stand By" position. See
Manually Initiating a Regeneration for help.
8. Fill the second mineral tank with water by manually initiating
a regeneration and allowing the control valve to cycle into the
backwash position, then unplug the system. Once water flow
at the drain line is observed, fully open the inlet valve and allow
water to flow to drain for 15 minutes to flush the resin bed of
any color. If water at the drain shows any discoloration, continue
to flush the resin bed until water at the drain is clear. During this
flush water is flowing through both tanks so a separate flush for
the second tank is not necessary. Then plug the system into
the power outlet and advance the system to the stand by
position as shown on the position indicator.

9. Program the system according to the System Type following the
Control Valve Programming section of this manual beginning on
page 18.
10. Put the appropriate amount of water in the brine tank. This is
accomplished by manually cycling the control valve to cycle step
4 "Brine Tank Refill" and allowing a complete brine tank refill cycle
to conclude.
11. Put the appropriate amount of salt in the brine tank. Do Not
fill the salt level past the brine well lid.
12. Fully open the outlet isolation valve.
13. Ensure the bypass valve is in the closed position.
14. Check for leaks and repair as needed.
15. Allow water to flow from the hot and cold side treated faucet
until all air has been purged from the plumbing system. Then
close both the hot and cold side treated water faucet.
16. Turn on water heaters.
Start up is now complete and the system is ready for operation.
