CONTROL VALVE FUNCTION AND CYCLES OF OPERATION This glass filled Noryl¹ (or equivalent) fully automatic control valve is designed as the primary control center to direct and regulate all cycles of a water softener or filter. When the WS1MR control valve is manufactured as a softener, the control valve can be ordered to perform downflow or upflow regeneration.
Table 2 Regeneration Cycles Filtering ADJUSTABLE CYCLES Table 3 shows the order and cycle times for the adjustable cycles. Table 3 Fill values are pounds of salt if softening is selected and gallons if filtering is selected. All other values are in minutes. PRESET PROGRAM CODES A variety of preset program codes are available.

The control valve with a water meter can be set for Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) only, Time Clock operation only or DIR and Time Clock whichever comes first, depending upon what settings are selected for Day Override and Gallon Capacity.2 See Table 8. If a control valve does not contain a meter, the valve can only act as a time clock, and day override should be set to any number and gallon capacity should be set to off.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modified to suit the needs of the installation. These procedures are: System Setup Installer Settings Normal Display Settings Diagnostics Valve History These procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided on the following pages.
SYSTEM SETUP STEP 1S – Press NEXT and ▼ buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. If screen in step 2S does not appear in 5 seconds the lock on the valve is activated. To unlock press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and CLOCK in sequence, then press NEXT and ▼ simultaneously for 3 seconds.
P-Code 1 Selecting pre-set programs. If the unit Adj1 is set to 1.25, P60 - P69 will not be Select between available. SOFTENING or FILT Select between SOFTENING or FILT Adj2 P-Code 2 Set upflow or downflow regeneration on a 1” control. Set pounds of salt or gallons of fill.

10Step 9S – Set Regeneration Time Options using the ▲ or ▼ buttons: • “NORMAL” means regeneration will occur at the preset time; • “on 0” means regeneration will occur immediately when the gallons capacity reaches 0 (zero); or • “NORMAL + on 0” means regeneration will occur at one of the following: •...
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 1" full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions including a diagnostic position that allows a service technician to have pressure to test a system while providing untreated bypass water to the building.
INSTALLATION GENERAL INSTALLATION & 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. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings, but is not necessary.

INSTALLATION INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Connect to a supply line downstream of outdoor spigots. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb to the unit‟s bypass valve inlet located at the right rear as you face the unit. There are a variety of installation fittings available.
INSTALLER SETTINGS ▲ STEP 1I - Press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds. STEP 2I – Hardness: Set the amount of hardness in grains of hardness as ▲ or ▼ calcium carbonate per gallon using the buttons. The default is 20 with value ranges from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments.
NORMAL DISPLAY SETTINGS GENERAL OPERATION When the system is operating, one of six displays may be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second display is one of the following: days remaining or volume remaining.

REGENERATION MODE Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low water usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be used.
GENERAL INFORMATION POWER LOSS If the power goes out for less than two hours, the system will automatically reset itself. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset. The system will remember the rest.
START UP INSTRUCTIONS • After installation is completed rotate the bypass handles to the bypass position (see bypass valve diagram page ). • Turn on water and check for leaks. • Fully open a cold water faucet. • Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris which may have occurred during installation. •...
