LEAK TEST
To check for leaks, complete the following steps:
1. Fully open two nearby cold water faucets down-
stream from the softener.
2. Observe steady weater flow from both open faucets.
3 After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet
for about one minute, or until all air is expelled, then
close.
4. Close both cold water faucets.
5. Check your plumbing work for leaks, and fix right
away if any are found. Be sure to observe previous
caution notes.
NOTE: If this procedure is performed on a new softener,
water coming from the taps may initially be dis-
colored. This normally occurs the first time
water runs through the resin bed. The discol-
ored water is not harmful, and the discoloration
will not last more than a few minutes.
RESTART THE WATER HEATER
Turn on the gas (or electric) supply to the water heater
and light the pilot.
YOUR PLUMBING INSTALLATION AND
ELECTRICAL WORK ARE NOW COMPLETE.
