Step by step regeneration
- Turn off water supply to the unit.
- Release both cam locks by pulling back on the handles and remove the pre-filter housing, turn upside down and drain out the water.
- Unscrew the black housing cap from the blue housing sump and remove the carbon pre-filter. (this will now become the brine reservoir)
- Add 2 pounds or approximately half way of the blue sump with water softener pellet salt and screw the housing back on the sump.
- Re-install the pre filter housing with salt upside down from its normal position (standing on the black housing cap) and reconnect both cam locks.
- Turn the yellow valve handle to the up position and turn the water supply on, make sure the water outlet is open.
- The softener system is now regenerating, you will notice a slower then normal water flow, approximately 2 gallons per minute. Allow the regeneration process 18 to 20 minutes to complete.
- Turn the water supply off and turn the yellow handle back to the horizontal position. Remove the cam locks and open the pre-filter housing, wash out any remaining salt.
- Place the carbon filter back into the housing and tighten (do not over tighten), and reinstall the pre-filter assembly in the normal position (blue sump downwards) and tighten both cam locks.
- Turn water supply on and allow water to flow for 3 to 5 minutes, the system is now regenerated and ready for use.
- Rinse any salt that may have that may have spilled on the unit to prevent and corrosion.
