  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction INTRODUCTION Long term, successful operation of any water softening system depends upon the care and attention it receives. Ordinarily, water treatment systems will provide uniform performance after the initial start-up period and operation is stable. Gallonage delivery between regenerations and treated water purity usually do not vary appreciably over the life of the resins--as long as the mineral content of the incoming water does not change.
  • Page 8 Introduction The Softening Process - When Ca++ or Mg++ ions have occupied most of the reaction points, hardness will begin to slip through the bed in increasing amounts. This rise in hardness in the effluent is an indication that the effective capacity of the CATION EXCHANGER has been reached.
  • Page 9 Introduction NORMAL OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES Long term, reliable system performance depends upon how conscientiously the equipment is operated and maintained. Operator responsibilities to assure operation should include the following recommended practices: MAINTAIN OPERATING LOGS Operators should maintain close control of the process by monitoring system performance daily.
  • Page 10 Introduction BRINE AND SLOW RINSE Raw water is directed through the injector built into the main regeneration control. A venturi action in the injector draws the required amount of brine into the softener. The solution of salt water then passes down-flow through the resin bed, through the lower hub and lateral distribution system, up the distributor pipe and exits through the drain port of the control valve and out to drain.
  • Page 11: Installation Instructions

    Installation Instructions Pre-Installation Checklist 1. A standard electrical outlet (120V/160Hz) must be located within 12’ of installation site. 2. A functioning floor drain, washer stand pipe or suitable location for waste water discharge must be located within 20’ of installation site. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes.
  • Page 12 Installation Instructions 5. Plumbing Preparations: Unscrew the two plastic nuts (#1) and pull on the two brass connectors (#4) to remove them from the bypass assembly. Next remove the white plastic rings (#2) and the O-rings. (#3) See Figure 1 •...
  • Page 13 Installation Instructions 7. Locate Polytube Insert: Now that the water softener is connected to the existing plumbing, the drain line may be connected. First, locate and remove the polytube insert (#2) from the gray cable on the left side of the control valve. 8.
  • Page 14 Installation Instructions 11. Connecting the overflow line: The brine overflow fitting is located on the outside of the salt container approximately 12” down from the top. Connect 1/2” drain tubing to the overflow fitting and run it to the nearest floor drain. This line is a gravity flow line and cannot be run overhead or cannot connect to a drain that is higher than the overflow fitting.
  • Page 15: Start-Up Instructions

    Start-Up Instructions Start-Up Figure 1 To begin, place the bypass in the position shown in Figure 1. Place the softener in the Backwash cycle. • To place Unit A in the Backwash cycle press and hold the REGEN button (approx. 6 seconds) until the control valve initiates a regeneration cycle.
  • Page 16: Manually Regenerating The Water Softener

    Manually Regenerating the Water Softener Reasons you may want to manually regenerate the water softener: 1. If the brine tank has run out of salt it will be necessary to regenerate the online and offline tanks. (Unit A and Unit B) •...

  • Page 19 Control Valve Programming Programming The control valve has been pre-programmed from the factory with the correct regeneration cycle program and cycle times. The gallon capacity between regeneration can be changed by adjusting the water hardness. Step 1 - Press the NEXT and the UP Arrow buttons at the same time and hold for 2 seconds. Step 2 - Raw Water Hardness: Adjust to the correct hardness by pressing the UP or DOWN arrow button.
  • Page 20 Control Valve Programming Set the Time of Day The time of day should only need to be set after initial installation or after an extended power outage. If an extended power outage has occurred, the time of day will flash indicating that it needs to be set. Step 1 - Press SET CLOCK Step 2 - Current Time of Day - Hours: Adjust to the correct hour by pressing the UP or DOWN arrow button.

  • Page 42: Servicing The Transfer Cap Assembly

    Servicing the Transfer Cap Assemblies To Service the Transfer Cap Assembly: The control valve’s back plate must be removed first to allow access to removing the transfer cap assembly. Note: Hold slight downward pressure on the top left corner of the back plate while using a thin flat screwdriver or knife blade to push in on the locking tabs, this will release the back plate and it will twist to the left off of the valve body.
  • Page 43 Servicing the Transfer Cap Assemblies To remove seals gently pull out on the outer lip of the seal to lift the seal out from its cavity being careful not to damage the face surface of the seal. To reassemble re-seat the seals into the seal cavity of the control valve body being sure that the lip of the seal is facing outward.
