CAUTION

Before adding POT PERM, please check safety  

instructions included with the POT-PERM jug and label. 

Pour the entire 5 lb jug of POT PERM into the chemical 

tank (included with model CGFE948). The powder 

stays above the felt pad while the water/Pot Perm 

solution stays below it. Typically, five pounds of POT 

PERM should last three to four months or more before 

refilling with POT PERM powder is required.

GREENSAND STARTUP

1.

  Remove the locking clip on the brine fitting & insert one end of the 3/8” tubing (included) into this fitting all the way until the tube can go

in no further. Replace the locking clip.

2.

  Remove the top lid of the chemical tank. The other end of the tubing goes through the small hole near the top of the chemical tank.

Bring the end of the 3/8” tubing into the brine well and make the connection with the compression fitting on the safety float.

3.

  The barbed elbow near the middle of the chemical tank is for a “gravity” overflow line in case of a malfunction resulting in a tank  

overflow. This must be run to drain. It uses the same size tubing as the drain line. 

WARNING : DO NOT TEE THESE TWO TOGETHER

.

Remove the elastic band from the float assembly inside the chemical tank. DO NOT REMOVE WHITE FELT PAD FROM INSIDE THE   

CHEMICAL TANK.

4.

Open the bypass inlet very slowly

 until there is a steady stream of water at the drain. Opening the bypass inlet too quickly could result in  

resin being expelled from the unit and into the plumbing lines. With the  valve in the backwash position the unit will purge air from the  

system, sending it to the drain. This may take longer than the programmed backwash cycle time, so unplug the power so that the valve will    

remain in the backwash position.

5.

  With the bypass inlet now fully open, let the system run until all the air is purged and there is a steady stream of water at the drain.

6.

  Reconnect the power, press button two (2) to advance to the refill position and allow the unit to refill to 1” [25.4 mm] above the grid   

 board – this may require manually advancing the unit through its cycles more than once. Alternatively, you can press and hold button 2 (two)  

to advance to the service position and manually add the required amount of water as described in the next step.  

ADD THE CHEMICAL (POT-PERM):

 The bottom of the chemical tank has a felt pad. 

DO NOT REMOVE THIS FELT PAD

. With a bucket or    

hose, pour approximately 1 gallon of water into the chemical tank. The exact level is not critical, but be careful not to overflow the tank. 

7.

  With the bypass inlet now fully open, let the system run until all the air is purged and there is a steady stream of water at the drain.

8.

  Slowly open the bypass OUTLET knob until fully open.

NOTE

Your unit is not yet ready for service until you complete 

manual regeneration
