10. Turn the large knob to the backwash position. Turn on the water supply to the valve and wait until water starts running
at the drain. Allow the water to run at the drain for 2 to 3 minutes.

ALL STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODES GOVERNING INSTALLATION OF THESE DEVICES MUST BE OBSERVED.
Optional Sanitization Procedure: We recommend that all new water conditioners be disinfected as part of the startup.
Sanitization is achieved by the application of chlorine in the regeneration cycle of the conditioner. A liquid solution of
5.25% sodium hypochlorite (commonly referred to as household bleach) is recommended as a suitable disinfectant. Use
only unscented products. For every cubic foot of resin in the softener, pour approximately two (2) tablespoons of sodium
hypochlorite into the brine well tube. The brine tank refill in Step 12 should add the correct amount of water to the brine
tank. If not, the water can be added manually now. Press and hold the EXTRA CYCLE button to begin a manual
regeneration. Press the EXTRA CYCLE button again to advance the valve to the Brine/Rinse position. Allow softener to
complete the Brine/Rinse cycle, then let the manual regeneration continue until the brine tank is refilled again with the
correct amount of water.
