Placing 269 Water Conditioning System
Into Operation
(Fill Brine Tank First)
Quick Cycling the Analyzer Control
It is required that the control be quick cycled to specific
regeneration cycles when placing the conditioner into
operation. Please review the following instructions for
quick cycling the control before proceeding to start-up.
1. With the control in the treated water position, press
and hold the REGEN button on the control for 5
seconds. This will initiate a manual regeneration. The
control will display an hourglass indicating that the
motor and camshaft are turning. The control also
displays the total regeneration time remaining. When
the control reaches the pre-pressurize cycle, the
hourglass is no longer displayed and the motor will
turn off. Pressing the SET button will display the time
remaining for the current cycle.
2. Press and release the UP and SET buttons to move the
control to the next cycle.
Note: The control can be sent directly back to the
treated water position from any regeneration cycle. Press
and hold the UP and SET buttons (about 5 seconds) until
the hourglass icon appears solid. The control will now skip
all remaining regeneration cycles.
Start-Up
After you have performed the previous initial power-up
steps, you will need to place the conditioner into operation.
Follow these steps carefully, as they differ from previous
Pro Elite valve instructions.
1. Remove the cover from the valve. Removing the cover
will allow you to see that the camshaft is turning, and
in which cycle the camshaft is currently positioned.
2. With the supply water for the system still turned off,
position the bypass valve to the "not in bypass"
(normal operation) position.
3. Press and hold the REGEN button on the control for 5
seconds. This will initiate a manual regeneration. The
control will display an hourglass indicating that the
motor and camshaft are turning. The control also
displays the total regeneration time remaining. When
the control reaches the repressurize cycle (C4), the
hourglass is no longer displayed and the motor will
turn off. Pressing the SET button will display the time
remaining for the current cycle.
4. Press and release SET and UP simultaneously to
advance to each cycle.
5. Advance the control to the Backwash cycle (C1). See
Cycle Sequence Table.

6. Fill the media tank with water.
A. While the controller is in the backwash (C1)
cycle, open the water supply valve very slowly
to approximately the 1/4 open position.
WARNING: If opened too rapidly or too
far, media may be lost out of the tank into
the valve or the plumbing. In the ¼ open
position, you should hear air slowly escaping
from the valve drain line.
B. When all of the air has been purged from the
media tank (water begins to flow steadily
from the drain line), open the main supply
valve all of the way. This will purge the final air
from the tank.
C. Allow water to run to drain until the water
runs clear from the drain line. This purges any
refuse from the media bed.
D. Turn off the water supply and let the system
stand for about five minutes. This will allow
any air trapped to escape from the tank.
7. Add water to the regenerant tank (conditioner only).
A. With a bucket or hose, add enough water to
the regenerant tank to have water visible.
Note: We recommend that you do not put regenerant
into the tank until after the control valve has been put into
operation. With no regenerant in the tank, it is much
easier to view water flow and motion in the tank.
