Page 3: General Installation And Service Warnings
GENERAL INSTALLATION AND SERVICE WARNINGS The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing. HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS KEROSENE, BENZENE, GASOLINE, ETC., MAY DAMAGE PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN O-RINGS OR PLASTIC COMPONENTS. -
Page 4: Pre-Installation Review
PRE-INSTALLATION REVIEW WATER QUALITY: If sand or sediment is present in the water supply, a sediment filter should be installed ahead of the water softener. Your water softener has been designed to adequately reduce hardness from levels up to 100 grains per gallon. Ferrous bicarbonate iron levels up to 0.5 ppm can also be reduced. -
Page 5: Bypass Valve Operation
BYPASS VALVE The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The X-Factor bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment industry due to its versatility and state of the art design features. -
Page 6: Installation Instructions, Diagrams
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes) 1. Place the softener where you want to install it, making sure it is on a clean, level and firm base. 2. Do all necessary plumbing (inlet to inlet, outlet to outlet, and drain line to drain). - Page 7 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONT’D (All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes) 6. Assemble the brine tank. Install a brine well cap (Item A) on the bottom of the brine well (Item B). Remove the brine valve assembly (Item C) from the brine well by removing the nut (Item D).
- Page 8 MINIMUM 10 FEET BETWEEN WATER SOFTENER OUTLET OUTSIDE WATER HEATER INLET LOCATE WATER SOFTENER CLOSE TO A DRAIN. COLD BYPASS PLUMBING AVOID OVERHEAD DRAIN LINES IF POSSIBLE TO RECOMMENDED PREVENT BACK PRESSURE ON BRINE INJECTOR. OPTIONAL BP2000 IF OVERHEAD DRAIN LINE IS USED AND EXCEEDS BYPASS VALVE 5 FEET ABOVE CONNECTION ON CONTROL VALVE IS NOT USED.
-
Page 9: Placing Softener Into Service
PLACING SOFTENER INTO SERVICE Do not add salt to the brine tank yet. Do not plug the transformer into the receptacle yet. Make sure inlet and outlet valves are to their closed positions. If using optional bypass, place in bypass position. Turn on main water supply. Open a cold water faucet. This will clear the line of any debris (solder, pipe dope, etc.) that may be in the line. -
Page 10: Set Time Of Day
SET TIME OF DAY Current time of day needs to be entered during initial installation, and adjusted when daylight saving time begins or ends. If an extended power outage occurs and depletes the on-board non-rechargeable coin cell battery, when power resumes the time of day should be reset and battery replaced. -

STEP 5 – Next Regeneration Time (minutes): Set the minutes of day for regeneration using STEP 5 buttons. Press to return to normal operation. Press to return to NEXT REGEN previous step. RETURN TO NORMAL MODE LOW BATTERY A non-rechargeable coin cell battery is located on the circuit board, used only to maintain the time of day during power outages (all other information will be stored in memory no matter how long the power outage). -
