1. Start Up Procedures and Recommendations for Factory Authorized Equipment Start Up

2. Prepare Before You Go! • Review all documentation • Call the contractor • Keep notes • Bring contact names and phone numbers

3. Prepare Before You Go! • Has the plumbing been completed? • Has the system been pressure tested? • Has the resin and gravel been loaded?

4. Prepare Before You Go! • Has the electrical been completed? • Are vessels full of water? • Does he know of any problems during installation?

5. Show Up, Meet, and Greet

6. Things to Check - Piping • Review piping with Plumbing Contractor (Let him explain it)  • Does it match Piping Diagram? • Are the shut off kits correctly installed? • Check tubing. Is it run correctly?

7. Things to Check - Piping • Is the manual bypass valve in the correct location? • Is drain piping correctly sized? • Are the flow meter(s) positioned correctly?

8. Things to Check – Brine System • Is the brine tank correctly installed? • Make certain the float is not dragging in the brine tank. • Is the water level up to the float in the brine tank? • Is the external injector properly installed? (for larger systems)

9. Things to Check - Electrical • Review electrical with electrical contractor (Let him explain it) • Double check wiring. • Does it match electrical drawings from manuals? • Check terminals strips for correct locations and tightness.

10. Things to Check - Controls • Control Valves • Electronic Demand Regenerator (EDR) • Program at this time • Flow Meter • Solenoid Valves (ASCO)

11. Ready to Go . . . .

12. Getting Started • Close Outlet Valves • Open Bypass Valve • Open Inlet Valves (s l o w l y) • Vent each Vessel  • Power Up

13. After Power is Connected • Make certain every thing works. • On twin system, one unit will go to stand by. • ASCO will energized & get warm. Diaphragm Valve will be closed. Check with paper clip. If it goes in more than 1 ¼, valve is open. Warm ASCO, Valve should be closed.

14. Work with the Unit in Stand By

15. Manually Start Regeneration from Timer • Piston will move to backwash cycle. • Check flow to drain. • Watch for resin in drain. • Water may be discolored. (color throw) • Does flow match O & M? • Do not leave in this cycle longer than one minute.

16. Advance Timer to Brine Draw Position • Is water level in Brine Tank moving down?

17. Advance Timer to Fast Rinse Position • Check flow to drain. • Does flow match O & M? • Watch for resin. • Water may be discolored. (color throw) • Do not leave in this cycle longer than one minute.

18. Advance timer to Service Position • Repeat short cycles until water to drain is clear

19. Repeat with Other Units

20. Place System Online • Ask operator for permission to open outlet valves. • Open outlet valves slowly. • Close Bypass Valve. • Water pressure should stabilize.

21. Check Operation of EDR II • Verify water flow from EDR  • Re-program EDR preset to 1 to start a regeneration.  • Verify that 3-minute start signal was sent from EDR II to Taskmaster control valve. • Re-program EDR II with presets to original calculations.

22. Final Equipment Check • Make certain both outlet valves are open.  • Check system unit over completely.

23. Training • Explain the process and operations to the operator. • Show them how to use the operations manual to their benefit. • Answer all questions.

24. You are the Pro
