Manual Regeneration
If your salt storage tank does run out of salt, you can manually regenerate the
unit after adding salt. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push down firmly on the
softener valve screw and slowly turn clockwise to start the regeneration. At this
point you should hear water begin to run through the system. If you do not hear
water running through the system, the disc 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. Contact your
Kinetico dealer for further assistance.

inlet water hardness. This improves
system performance and reduces water
