14. Plug your 5700-E control valve into an outlet. After being plugged in, the screen may display
"WAITING PLEASE" while it finds the service position. By default, the control valve will be set to
work like a Water Softener, but that's not correct for this application. So, next you will need to
program the system to work as a Neutralizer Filter. There are a few settings that must be
changed before the system can be put into service.
Programming Instructions
Some of your valve parameters been pre-programmed by us, however, you will still need to
finish the rest of the programming based on your own requirements, and verify the rest of the
programming.
Your Neutralizer Filter is programmed to Time Mode (T)
the unit regenerates.
Press and hold the settings button for 3 to 5 seconds, then release, to start the initial
programming.
(Press the settings button to light up the backlight at any time, this will not change the
current setting).
Initial Startup
Time Setting - Current time and period of the day will be flashing. After pressing the Regen
button, only the hour portion will be flashing. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the time.
Press the gear again to switch to the minute portion. Note, once the timer passes a 12 hour
period it will automatically change A.M. to P.M. Press the Regen button once the time has been
set.
Set Hardness - Pressing the Regen button will allow changes to hardness to be made. The unit
has a range of 1-99 grains per gallon. This is the feedwater hardness, which allows the meter to
calculate the number of gallons between backwashes. It is a little meaningless for a Neutralizer
filter valve, and is designed for water softener which removes calcium hardness in grains per
gallons. However, if you set it to 10 to start with, you will later see the number of gallons
between cycles when you are finished programming based on your size of system. It is not that
critical, because you want the filter to backwash once every few days based on the type of filter
system you have, by setting the Day Override. Press the Regen button once the hardness has
been set.
Calendar Day Override – This setting allows the user to set a time to regenerate by if the unit
hasn't met its set meter amount within that time period. Default setting is 0 days, but can range
from 0-99 days. The recommended setting for a Neutralizer filter is every 7 days. If you are
having problems with "bleed through" acidity after the Neutralizer has been on for a few days,
you may want to increase it to 3 or 4 days.
