Page 7: System Drawing
6 SOFTENER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE System Drawing Plumbing The system must be close to drain as much as possible. The unit including the drain must be located in a room temperature above 33° F. The bypass valves must be installed on the control valves. The primer, solder or solder flux must not get on the O‐rings. After soldering the lines must be cooled before installing the O‐Rings, nuts and caps. If the electrical system is grounded to the plumbing than copper strap must be connected between inlet and outlet as shown in figure above. The plumbing must be done by following the local plumbing codes. Never let the vacuum occur in tank this may cause implosion and leakage. If vacuum occurrence is expected than vacuum breaker must be installed in inlet line. BARRIE • ONTARIO • CANADA TF: 705.733.8900 WWW.EXCALIBURWATER.COM ... -
Page 8: Brine Line Connection
7 SOFTENER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Brine Line Connection Install the 1/2” or 3/8” O.D. Polyethylene tube according to specification sheet from the brine tank to the control valve. Brine Tank Overflow Line Connection The overflow drain line is used where overflow of the brine tank can damage the floor finishing or structure. The brine tank line is equipped with safety float valve which prevents the overflow so, the overflow line is only used in case is overflow float valve fails. The overflow line will transfer fluid from brine tank to the drain hence prevents the spillage. Drain Line The size of the drain must be according to the specifications. Leave minimum of 6” gap between flow control fitting and solder joints. The gap less than this can damage the flow control. Use ¾” or 1” tubing for drain line according to the specifications. If the drain line is elevated and then emptied into the drain below the level the of control valve the 7” loop should make at the end of drain line. The air gap between the drain and the end of the drain line must be twice the diameter of the tube. The strap must be tied at the end to secure the line.

Page 9: Bypass Valve
8 SOFTENER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Bypass Valve NORMAL OPERATION 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 as a water softener. BYPASS OPERATION 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 building. DIAGNOSTIC MODE The inlet handle points in the direction of flow and the outlet handle points to the center of bypass valve, system water pressure is allowed to the control valve and the plumbing system while not allowing water to exit from the control valve to the plumbing. SHUT OFF MODE The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet handle points in the direction of flow, the water is shut off to the plumbing system. If water is available on the outlet side of the softener it is an indication of water bypass around the system (i.e. a plumbing connection somewhere in the building bypasses the system).

Page 10: Loading Instructions
9 SOFTENER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Loading Instructions Step 1: Check the product upon removal and remove from box packaging checking for any shipping damage or shortages that must be reported to Excalibur Water Systems immediately for confirmation. Step 2: Insert distributor(s) inside of media mineral tank(s) so it is positioned properly in the bottom centre groove. If not already sized properly cut the top of the distributor pipe ½ ‐ ¾” above top of tank opening and clean off and excess PVC materials with grit cloth. Step 3: Plug the top inlet opening of the distributor (Hub & Lateral) or bottom stack with a clean cloth, rag, or tape to prevent any gravel or resin from entering into the distributor tube. Step 4: Load the gravel under bedding onto the mineral tank using a funnel or some sort of loading devise. If multiple layers of gravel with different sizes being utilized always load the largest gravel size in diameter to the smallest last. Step 5: Load the water softening cation exchange resin also by the use of a funnel or some sort of loading device until all resin is inside of mineral tank. Step 6: Remove top opening cover of the distributor carefully not to move or disturb the distributor tube not allowing any debris or materials to get inside of the now loaded softener(s). Step 7: Thread on control valves onto top opening tanks be sure to check and verify that the O‐ring on the bottom base of the control valve is present and properly lubricated with silicone. Tighten control valve(s) clockwise until you have reached the end of the thread and have secured a water tight seal. Step 8: Precede now with the unit(s) in their proper installation locations to run piping and materials for all inlet, outlet, and drain connections properly with isolation valves and test ports for future water tests. Also unions should be included in installation materials for easy future servicing of the control valves when necessary on all inlet, outlet, and drain lines.

Page 11: Start Up Instructions
10 SOFTENER INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Start Up Instructions Keep the bypass valves in bypass operation by moving both the handles into the center direction of the bypass valves. Now the untreated water is being supplied. Open the faucet downstream of softener system until water comes clear out of it. The initial water can be dirty because of installation debris. Now inspect the leaks in plumbing. Manually add approximate 5 gallons of water to each brine tank so that level reaches air check valve. Press and hold the “REGEN” button down for 5 seconds to start manual regeneration. The drive motor will start the backwash cycle and countdown time begins. Turn the inlet bypass valve handles halfway into the direction of service operation. Once the steady water flows out of drain then fully open the bypass valve into the direction of service operation. When the water become clear in drain line then press the regen button to advance the regeneration in brine cycle. Fully open the faucet and check if water is being drawn from brine tank. Allow this cycle to run for 3 minutes. Press REGEN button to advance the regeneration to rinse cycle. The water will come through the drain. Allow this process until water coming through the drain becomes clear. Add salt to the tank and allow ample time to dissolve it in water to become brine solution.
