Ready to Go . . . .

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

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.

Work with the Unit in Stand By

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.

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

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.

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

Repeat with Other Units Start Up Presentaion Repeat with Other Units until both units have been completely rinsed

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

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.

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

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