2. Open a cold water faucet to depressurize the lines.
3. Close the faucet to eliminate any siphoning action.
4. Repair all leaks.
5. Turn on the water supply.
6. Place the bypass in the “Service” position to slowly fill the appliance.

Step 9
Plug in the Transformer
A. Connect the transformer power cord to the back of the controller.
B. Plug the transformer into an appropriate outlet.
C. Ensure that the outlet selected is not operated by an On/Off switch.
Step 10
Set Up the Controller
A. Program the appliance controller. See Setting and Using the Controller.
Step 11
Add Water to the Brine Tank
A. Add water to the brine tank to a minimum of 2" above the grid plate. After the first
regeneration, the appliance will automatically refill the correct amount of water into the brine
tank.
B. Ensure that the salt dosage is set as recommended for the application.
C. Initiate a manual regeneration (see Setting and Using the Controller) and inspect for proper
operation. Allow the appliance to draw all the water out of the brine cabinet until the air
check/draw tube sets.
D. Press the Regenerate button to advance to the Brine Refill position. Let the tank fill with the
proper amount of water. The controller will then step the valve to the Home position.
Note: This initial startup is the only time you will add water to the brine tank. Do not add
water at any other time.
Step 12
Fill the Brine Tank With Salt
A. Fill the brine tank with salt. Use clean, white pellet or solar salt. Do not mix pellet with solar
salt.
Note: Always keep the salt level above the water level. For convenience, completely fill the
tank when refilling with salt.
B. After you add salt, including adding it after the tank has run out of salt, wait two hours for
saturated brine before starting any regeneration.
Caution: Use of potassium chloride when iron and/or manganese are present in the raw
water supply is not recommended.
