3. Once it starts BW, backwashing and counting down, water should be flowing down the drain under high pressure, you will hear the noise of the water pressure. Please verify you can hear the water flowing down the drain.
4. After the 10 minute backwash, it will go into BD, brine draw. This is an hour long cycle, once it starts to count down, it will begin drawing water out of the brine tank. Observe the cycle and record the water level and time how long it takes for all the water to draw out of the brine tank. Note: There may be an inch or so left in the bottom once done.
5. The next step is RR, rapid rinse. This cycle is similar to the backwash. There should be a strong flow down the drain on this cycle as well.
