- Page 3 reinsTallaTion nsTruCTions The manufacturer has set the water treatment unit’s sequence of cycles, cycle times, salt dose, exchange capacity, and gallon capacity. For water softeners the salt dose refill time has been preset. The dealer should read this page and guide the installer regarding hardness, day override, and time of regeneration, before installation: For the installer , the following must be used:...
- Page 4 Normal Operation Position: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated by the engraved arrows on the control valve. Water flows through the control valve for normal operation of a water softener or filter. During the regeneration cycle this position provides regeneration water to the unit, (Fig. 1) while also providing untreated water to the distribution system 2. Bypass Position: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass. The system is isolated from the water pressure in the plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the (Fig.
- Page 5 nsTallaTion nsTruCTions GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments. There is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping but the water softener is not designed to support the weight of 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. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals. Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon tape must be used on the threads of the ®...
- Page 6 5. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Be sure to install Bypass Valve onto main control valve before beginning plumbing. Make provisions to bypass outside hydrant and cold hard water lines at this time. 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. They are listed under Installation Fitting Assemblies, page 17. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring and “O” Ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or “O” Ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and “O” Ring. Avoid getting solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any part of the “O” Rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve. If the building’s electrical system is grounded to the plumbing, install a copper grounding strap from the inlet to the outlet pipe. Plumbing must be done in accordance with all applicable local codes. 6.

- Page 9 Once a manual regeneration is initiated, the unit will go into the FILL position. This position allows water to enter the brine tank until it reaches the proper level. Once this position is complete, you will notice a 240 Minute (4 hours) SOFTENING position. This 4-hour window allows the salt to dissolve and achieve proper brine strength. During these FILL and SOFTENING positions, you will have softened water available for use. Once the unit advances to the BACKWASH position and subsequent positions thereafter (see Start Up Instructions for regeneration sequence), the water softener will deliver water, but it will be untreated. IMPORTANT : With the Dry Salt Storage Feature, the brine tank will refill 4 hours before the actual regeneration occurs. You may experience a small amount of noise for a short period of time at 10:00 p.m. (with typical setting) on the night that regeneration is to occur. This noise is only the brine tank filling and at no time during this process will you be without treated water.

W ith the softener in the bypass mode (Fig. 2 on page 2) and the control valve in normal operation where the display shows either the time of day or the gallons remaining: Manually add 3 GALLONS of water to the regenerant tank. NOTE: If too much water is put into the brine tank during softener start up it could result in a salty water complaint after the first regeneration.
- Page 11 Note the color of water coming from faucet. If discolored let water run until clear. NOTE: At no time should there be “large particles” of media noticed at faucet or laundry tub. If this is seen immediately shut off water and bypass system as this could be an indication of a distributor failure. Contact manufacturer or distributor for assistance.
