Manually Initiating a Regeneration
1. When timer is in service, press
button for 5 seconds on
the main screen.
2. The timer advances to Regeneration Cycle Step #1
(backwash), and begins programmed time count down.
3. Press the
button once to advance valve to Regeneration
Cycle Step #2 (brine draw & slow rinse ).
4. Press the
button once to advance valve to Regeneration
Cycle Step #3 (rapid rinse)
EN
5. Press the
button once to advance valve to Regeneration
Cycle Step #4 (brine refill full cycle).
NOTE: A queued regeneration can be initiated by pressing
the
button. To clear a queued regeneration,
press the
button again to cancel. If regeneration
occurs for any reason prior to the delayed
regeneration time, the manual regeneration request
shall be cleared.

DISINFECTION OF WATER SOFTENERS
NOTE: Every water softener should be disinfected after
installation; some will require periodic disinfection
during their normal life. In a few cases, disinfection with
every regeneration is recommended.
NOTE: Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of
softener, the type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant
available, a choice can be made among the following
methods:
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite
5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite
IMPORTANT: Do not use any other chemical substance with
out manufacturer approval.
1. Dosage: 0.022 fluid liters
2. Proceed with the normal regeneration.

ADDING SALT
NOTE: Your softener comes pre-charged and will supply you
with a day or two of soft water. Salt must be added to
the salt tank for the system to regenerate properly. This
must be done within the first 24 - 28 hours. For the
start up use the 10Kg salt bag included
Types of Salt
Any pellet type salt is recommended due to its cleanliness
and availability. Other salts such as block, solar and rock salt
can be used; however, they may alter performance or cause
maintenance problems.
Amount of Salt
One tank units have a salt capacity of (see table pag 2).
You are not required to fill your salt tank to capacity. It is
recommended that the salt level in the salt tank always be
above the water level in the tank. This will assure that the unit
always has the correct salt dosage when it regenerates.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
This unit is designed and constructed to treat the most difficult
of water. Various screens have been included in the system to
protect orifices.
Flow Indicator
BEFORE doing any service work, be sure all screens are clean

and will pass water. Periodic cleaning of the screens will insure
long-term unit performance.
Lack of treated (soft) water is constant.
1. No salt in tank — Add salt to tank
2. Dirty screens — Clean screens
3. Faulted timer motor — Replace
Lack of treated (soft) water is intermittent.
EVOLIO560
Intermittent is often indicated by untreated water from the
30
heater (hot water) while the cold water tastes good. Intermittent
4 min
indicates excess water usage, a change in water chemistry,
or an improper frequency of regeneration. Review entire

application.
1. Low salt setting — Adjust brine value
8 min
2. Water consumption increased — Check for household leaks
11 min
3. Too infrequent regenerations — Review sizing and
reprogram timer
Brine tank overflow
1. Plugged screens or injector — Clean
2. Defective Brine Valve — Clean or replace
3. Defective timer or timer motor — Replace
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Cause
Softener fails to regenerate.
Electrical service to unit has been
interrupted.
Timer is defective.
Power failure.
Meter not counting liters.
Softener delivers hard water.
By-pass valve is open.
No salt is in brine tank.
Injector screen plugged.
Insufficient water flowing into brine tank.
Hot water tank hardness.
Leak at distributor tube.
Internal valve leak.
Unit used too much salt.
Improper salt setting.
Excessive water in brine tank.
Loss of water pressure.
Iron buildup in line to water conditioner.
Insufficient backwash flow rate
Iron buildup in water conditioner.

line.
Upper and/or lower screen damaged.
Iron in conditioned water.
Fouled resin bed.
Excessive water in brine tank.
Plugged drain line flow control.
Incorrect brine setting.
Correction
Assure permanent electrical service (check fuse,
plug, pull chain, or switch).
Replace timer.
Reset time of day.
Check to see if cable is inserted into meter
assembly.
EN
Close by-pass valve.
Add salt to brine tank and maintain salt level
above water level.
Clean injector screen.
Check brine tank fill time and clean brine line flow
control if plugged.
Repeated flushings of the hot water tank is
required.
Make sure distributor tube is not cracked. Check
O-ring and tube pilot.
Replace seals and spacers and/or piston.
Check salt usage and salt setting.
See "Excessive water in brine tank".
Clean line to water conditioner.
Clean control and add mineral cleaner to mineral
bed. Increase frequency of regeneration.
Remove piston and clean control.
Increase backwash cycle duration.
Check the DLFC size match with the tank size
and that it is not partially plug.
Check that drain line is not partially plugged
Assure that well system has proper air eliminator
control. Check for dry well condition.
Check and replace damaged parts.
Check backwash, brine draw, and brine tank
Increase frequency of regeneration. Increase
backwash time.
Clean flow control.
Check valve settings.
