except that the softener should put the water in, if it is in the
service position.

It doesn't work that way, you have to add an amount of water at least up to
the air check of the brine pick up. And then allow the unit to go through
its brine refill or you have to add that water manually before the frst
regeneration. If not there will not be any brine. I answered this post in
another venue.


I do not doubt your expertise, but my softener added all the water to
the brine tank on its own as soon as the water was turned on before
the first regeneration. Older model?
Hi,
Something wrong then with yours.

It works perfectly Tony. The same thing happened each time I cleaned
out the brine tank. It has never been necessary to add water to an
empty (except for salt) brine tank as the softener does it on its own.
