Step 15.
Refer to SECTION 3, as how to set control
valve for the correct time of day.
When shifting
to daylight saving time and (back), you may
wish to adjust TIME OF DAY accordingly.
NOTE:
TIME OF REGENERATION is preset for
2:00 a.m. because at this time water consumption
is generally minimal (a built-in hard water bypass
does, however, permit water to be drawn during
regeneration). Should your life style require
regular
use of water during the 2:00 to 3:00 a.m.
regeneration period, or if other water treatment
equipment is also set for 2:00 a.m. regeneration,
the TIME OF REGENERATION will need chang-
ing. Refer to Section 3,
HOW TO SET TIME
OF REGENERATION
.
Step 16. Before loading salt, using a pail or garden hose,
add enough water to the brine tank to cover the
salt grid (lower shelf on 15" x 15" x 34" brine
tank) at least one (1) inch in depth. Then add
initial salt fill to brine tank, and one (1) cup (eight
ounces) of unscented laundry bleach to the
brine well.
Step 17. Put your new water softener through a complete
regeneration to sanitize the system prior to use.
(Refer to “HOW TO MANUALLY INITIATE THE
CONTROL VALVE” for instructions on manual
regeneration. RESTORE THE FUEL SUPPLY
OR POWER TO THE WATER HEATER”.
Installation is now complete, and your water soft-
ener is now ready for service. You can expect
many years of virtually trouble free softened water.
If need arises please contact the installing
contractor for immediate attention to your par-
ticular issue.
