STEP 4 SYSTEM START-UP
KS5 AND KS10 START UP:
NOTE: The following steps will require turning the indicator knob (see Figure 1 below) to various po-
sitions. Push the indicator knob in while manually rotating the camshaft located behind the controller
by hand (COuNterCLOCKwiSe) until indicator knob points to the desired position.
1. Remove valve cover by releasing the plastic
clip from the back and lifting the cover up and
forward.
2. Rotate indicator knob to the BACKWASH
position (COUNTERCLOCKWISE).
3. Fill the softener/conditioner tank with water.
a. With house water supply off, open the
SourceSelect™ bypass valve.
b. Open water supply valve very slowly to
approximately ¼ open position.
4. When all of the air has been purged from
the tank (water begins to flow steadily from
the drain), open the main water supply all the
way. Allow water to run to drain until clear.
5. Turn off water supply and let the unit stand
for about five minutes to allow all trapped air
to escape from the tank.
6. Add the initial amount of water to the brine
tank manually with a bucket or a hose. Add
approximately 3 gallons of water to the brine
tank.
7. Slowly turn the water supply valve
completely open. Place the conditioner
into operation by turning the indicator knob
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to the BRINE/
SLOW RINSE position.
8. With conditioner in this position, observe the
water level in the brine tank for several min-
utes to check that the level is going down. If
water level does not recede, then make sure
the brine line fittings are tight and no air can
leak into connections.
