Placement
• Set the media tanks on a solid, level surface that provides easy access to a water supply, drain system and electricity.
• Place the brine system on a flat, smooth, solid surface close to the media tank.
• Plumbing should comply with the applicable state and local plumbing codes.
• Connect the couplings and yoke assembly to the control valve and tank adapter. Lubricate the o-ring with silicone lubricant.
• Lubricate the distributor and tank o-ring seal with silicone lubricant.
• The joints near the drain must be soldered prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting (DLFC). Leave at least 6"
between the DLFC and the joints when soldering. Failure to do this could cause damage to the drain module. Teflon tape is
the only sealant to be used on the drain fittings.
Control Valve
A 0.5 gpm BLFC is installed in the control valve. A 0.25 gpm BLFC is included in the control parts pack that needs to be used on
9" tank when salt dosage is less than 5 lbs. Remove the BLFC from the brine valve. Install the BLFC by removing the brine fitting,
remove the retainer, remove and replace with the proper size.
A white #1 eductor throat and nozzle is packaged with the control valve for use on the 9-inch tanks. See table 2 for eductor throat
and nozzle selections.
When changing the eductor nozzle and throat, remove the eductor
assembly mounting screws. Carefully remove the eductor assembly
from the control. Unscrew the eductor nozzle and throat and replace
with the correct size eductor. Reassemble onto the control valve.
Included in the parts pack are drain line flow controls with different
gpm capacities. Tank size will determine which size flow control to
install. Use the 2.00 gpm for the 9-inch tank and 10-inch tank. See
table 2 for DLFC selections
Install the DLFC by removing the drain line elbow adapter. Unscrew
