EGENERATION
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.

PASS
There may be times when you need to shut
o
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 bypass
valve to the GREEN, "IN SERVICE" position.
You may put the softener into bypass at any
time, if necessary, by putting the by-pass
valve into the YELLOW, "BYPASS" 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. Contact your
Kinetico dealer for further assistance.
