STARTING OPERATION

Once hydraulic and electrical installation of the softener have been completed, the system can be
started. Remove the cap of the valve by slightly pulling the two external flaps of the valve towards
the outsid (pict. A).
In order to perform the following operations, you need to rotate the timer's black button anticlockwise
in various positions. First, this button will have to be pushed to the end with a wide-blade screw inside
the related slot and then, always keeping it pushed, turn anticlockwise helping the camshaft by hand
in order to facilitate rotation (pict. B).

• Place the reference of the BLACK BUTTON in COUNTER-CURRENT position.
• Slowly and partially open the water inlet valve in order to fill the resin column.
Once all the air has been discharged, open the air inlet completely.
• Let it run until the water looks clear; then close the water inlet valve and wait for 2 minutes so that
all the air trapped in the resin can go out.
• Pour around 10 l of water and salt into the brine container according to the container capacity.
It is not strictly necessary to fill it all the time; the most important thing is to make sure there is
enough salt for regenerations.
• Position the reference of the black button on SALT TANK FILLING; slowly open the water inlet and
let the BLACK BUTTON go to OPERATION position automatically.
• Check that, once the starting operations are completed, there is no leakage in the drain or flexible
pipe.
