Manual Regeneration

If your salt storage tank does
run out of salt, you can manually
regenerate the unit after adding salt,
or you can wait for it to go through
regeneration automatically.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver,
push down firmly on the softener
valve screw (Fig. 4) and slowly turn
clockwise until the actuator has
advanced the indicator dot to the
"BRINE" position (Fig. 4). You
should hear at least five "clicks"
while turning the screw before the
indicator dot reaches the "BRINE"
position. At this point you should hear water begin to run through the system.
If you do not hear water running through the system, the indicator dot has not
been advanced far enough. Repeat the procedure for manual regeneration after
the water flow stops (11 to 90 minutes, depending on the model) to be sure both
resin tanks are regenerated.
NOTE: If your hot water tank has refilled with hard water, it may take several
days for it to empty and for your water to feel soft again.

By-pass

There may be times when you need to shut
off the water supply to your entire house. To
do this, set the by-pass valve to the RED,
"OFF" position. No water will flow through
the house. To restart the water, set the by-
pass valve to the GREEN, "IN SERVICE"
position. You may put the softener into by-
pass at any time, if necessary, by putting
the by-pass valve into the YELLOW, "BY-
PASS" position. You will still get water throughout the house; however, all of the
water will be untreated. To return the softener to service, set the by-pass valve to
the GREEN, "IN SERVICE" position.
NOTE: By-pass styles vary and yours may not be as described. Some systems
may not be installed with a by-pass valve. Contact your Kinetico
dealer for further assistance.
