ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE SALT
STORAGE TANK
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and lift salt
bags.
Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
1. Using a container, add about three gallons of clean
water into the salt storage tank.
2. Add salt to the storage tank. Use nugget, pellet, or
coarse solar salts with less than 1% impurities.
PLUG IN THE POWER SUPPLY
During installation, the water softener wiring may be
moved or jostled out of its place. Be sure all leadwire
connectors are secure on the back of the electronic
board and be sure all wiring is away from the valve
gear and the motor area, which rotates during
regenerations.
1. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet that is
not controlled by a switch.
NOTE: The water heater is filled with hard water and,
as hot water is used, it will refill with
conditioned water. In a few days, the hot water
will be fully conditioned. To have fully
conditioned hot water immediately, wait until
the initial recharge is over. Then, drain the
water heater (following instructions for water
heater) until water runs cold.
Installation Instructions
SANITIZE THE WATER SOFTENER /
SANITIZE AFTER SERVICE
1. Open salt lid, remove the brinewell cover and pour
about 3 oz. (6 tablespoons) of household bleach
into the softener brinewell. Replace the brinewell
cover.
2. Make sure the bypass valve(s) is in the "service"
(open) position.
3. Start a recharge (regeneration).
See "Start a Recharge" on Page 13.
4. After the recharge has completed, fully open a cold
water faucet, downstream from the softener, and
allow 50 gallons of water to pass through the
system. This should take at least 20 minutes.
Close the faucet.
