Pre-installation Instructions (cont.) Location Considerations The proper location to install the water softener system will ensure optimum performance and satisfactory water quality. The following factors should be considered in selecting the location of the equipment. 1. The water softener should be installed after the pressure tank on a private well system or after the water meter on municipal water.
Detailed Installation Instructions STEP 1: Carefully remove all components from packaging. DO NOT DISCARD PACKAGING until all water softener components and fittings have been located. STEP 2: Using the integrated coupling nuts, attach the bypass valve to the inlet/outlet of the control valve and put handles in the bypass position (Figure 2) STEP 3: Place unit at desired installation position.
Detailed Installation Instructions (continued) Connect one end of the 3/8” brine line to the control valve quick connect brine refill elbow STEP 7: (Figure 2, Page 5). Insert the other end of the brine line through the hole in the brine tank and into the quick connect fitting on the top of the safety brine valve (Figure 3).
Detailed Installation Instructions (continued) FIGURE 4: Bypass Valve Operation With the bypass valve in the “Bypass” position (refer to Figure 2, Page 5; Figure 4, Page 7), STEP 12: press and hold the REGEN button until the motor starts. Then use the REGEN button to advance the control valve to the BACKWASH cycle (refer to page 10 for details) to release pressure and purge air from the mineral tank.
General Operation When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second display is gallons remaining. This is the number of gallons that can be treated before the system needs to go through a regeneration cycle.
Installer Settings Step 1 - Press NEXT and ▲ simultaneously for 3 seconds. Step 2 - Hardness: Set the amount of adjusted hardness in grains per gallon (hardness gpg + (iron ppm x 3) + (manganese ppm x 5)) using ▲ or ▼ buttons. The default is 20 with value ranges from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments.
Manual Regeneration Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system, sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
