knobs. Make sure you are turning the bypass valve knobs in the correct direction which is counter‐
clockwise as you face the bypass valve knobs.
21. Now turn on the garden hose to full force and let the water until it turns relatively clear. The water
may have some color at first.

22. Plug your CWS Time Clock control valve into an outlet. Your sediment filter comes preset to backwash
at 2:00 am if the timer is set to real time of day.
23. Set timer so it reads the real time of day
24. Slide two pins outward on the skipper wheel (above) to set the system to backwash once every six
days (two pins sticking out).
25. Start a manual backwash by turning the Manual Regeneration knob clockwise to backwash. Very
slowly turn the inlet knob on the bypass valve towards the service position, but DO NOT open the
valve all the way. We want to allow all of the air in the tank to escape before allowing the water to
flow freely. The bypass valve knobs may be a little stiff at first.
26. Once water begins to flow from the drain line open the inlet valve all the way. Continue to let the
water run from the drain line for about five minutes or until any resin fines in the water are no longer
present.
27. If possible verify that the backwash flow is 5 gallons per minute, which is the recommended backwash
flow rate for 1.0 and 1.5 cubic foot models. If you have a 2.5 cubic foot Filter it should be
backwashing at 10 gallons per minute. You can easily run the drain hose to a bucket and using a
watch verify the flow rate in gallons per minute. An adequate backwash is critical to properly clean
the Softener resin and prevent it from cementing together.
