Installation Instructions
SANITIZING PROCEDURES
To complete the installation, do the following
sanitizing procedures.
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water
softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make
the softener will not infect or contaminate your water
supplg and will not cause bacteria to form or grow.
However, during shipping, storage, installation and
operation, bacteria could get into the softener. For
this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested when
installing.
NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended bg the
Water Oualitg Association for disinfecting.
1. Be sure to complete all installation steps, including
programming the control.
2. Pour about 3/4 oz. (lY_ tablespoons) of common
5.25% unscented household bleach (Clorox, Linco,
Bo Peep, White Sail, Eagle, etc.) into the brinewell.
Refer to illustration on page 5.
3. IMPORTANT: Press and hold for 3 seconds
the faceplate RECHARGE @ button to start an
immediate recharge. RECHARGE begins to flash in
the display. The bleach will be drawn through the
water softener, and out the drain. This process
takes approximatelg 2 hours.
4. If, after sanitization, water from the house
faucet tastes salty or has a slight color, this is a
preservative from the resin tank. Turn on the cold
soft water faucets and drain for a few minutes or
until clean
NOTE: When the sanitizing recharge is over, all
remaining bleach is flushed from the conditioner
and your house COLD water supply is fully soft
immediatelg. However, your water heater is filled
with hard water and as hot water is used, it will refill
with soft water. When all the hard water is replaced
in the water heater, hot only and mixed hot and cold
water will be fullg soft. If you want totallg soft water
immediatelg, after the above recharge, drain the
water heater until the water runs cold.
ZI, W A RN IN G:,fyou do drain the water
heater, use extreme care as the hot water could
cause burns. Turn the water heater off prior to
draining.

This system conforms to NSF/ANS144 for the specific capacity claims as verified and substantiated bg test data
* Testing was performed using pellet grade sodium chloride as the regenerant salt
** Effidencg rating is valid only at the lowest stated salt dosage This softener was effidencg rated according to
NSF/ANS144
*** Extent of iron removal may vary with conditions, The capadtg to reduce clear water iron is substantiated by WOA
test data, State of Wisconsin requires additional treatment if water supply contains greater than 5 ppm clear water
iron Use of Diamond Crystal ® Red,Out ® or Super Iron Out ®will improve iron removal Refer to Cleaning Iron Out
