Installation Instructions
SANITIZING PROCEDURES
To complete the installation, do the following
sanitizing procedures.
Care is taken at the factorg to keep gour water
softener clean and sanitarg. Materials used to make
the softener will not infect or contaminate gour water
supplg and will not cause bacteria to form or grow.
However, during shipping, storage, installation and
operation, bacteria could get into the softener. For
this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested when
installing.
NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended by the
Water Quality Association for disinfecting.
1. Be sure to complete all installation steps, including
programming the control.
2. Pour about 3/4 oz. (1V2tablespoons) of common
5.25% unscented household bleach (Clorox, Linco,
Bo Peep, White Sail, Eagle, etc.) into the brinewell.
Refer to illustration on page 5.
3. IMPORTANT: Press and hold for 3 seconds
the faceplate TOUCH/HOLD button to start an
immediate recharge. RECHARGE NOW begins to
flush in the displag. The bleach will be drawn
through the water softener, and out the drain.
This process takes approximatelg 2 hours.
4. If, after sanitization, water from the house
faucet tastes saltg or has a slight color, this is a
preservative from the resin tank. Turn on the cold
soft water faucets and drain for a few minutes or
until clear.
NOTE: When the sanitizing recharge is over, all
remaining bleach is flushed from the conditioner
and gour house COLD water supplg is fullg soft
immediatelg. However, gour water heater is filled
with hard water and as hot water is used, it will refill
with soft water. When all the hard water is replaced
in the water heater, hot onlg and mixed hot and cold
water will be fullg soft. If gou want totallg soft water
immediatelg, after the above recharge, drain the
water heater until the water runs cold.
AWARN ING: ,fgoudodrainthewater
heater, use extreme care as the hot water could
cause burns. Turn the water heater off prior to
draining.
