    UNPACKING / INSPECTION OF TWIN TANK MODEL Be sure to check the entire unit for any shipping damage or parts loss. Also note damage to the shipping cartons. Contact the transportation company for all damage and loss claims. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages in transit. Small parts, needed to install the Softener, are in a parts box.

  • Page 9: Before Installation

    BEFORE INSTALLATION Contact your local distributor to use Canature WaterGroup™ laboratory for complete water analysis free of cost and no obligation to you. The laboratory addresses can be found on the front page of the manual. Check your water hardness. Use test strips (Part # 2793828-20) to get an estimation of water hardness and contact your local distributor to use Canature WaterGroup laboratory for complete water analysis free of cost and no obligation to you.
  • Page 10 Inspecting and Handling Your 89 Specialty System Inspect the equipment for any shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage inspection. Damage to cartons should also be noted. Handle the Softener unit with care. Damage can result if it is dropped or set on sharp, uneven projections on the floor. Do not turn the Softener unit upside down.
  • Page 11: Installation Steps/Preparations

    INSTALLATION STEPS Determine the best location for your Specialty System, bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines, drain line and 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the Softener to freezing or temperatures above 43°C (110°F) will void the warranty. Downflow Valve Please notice the inlet and outlet labels on the valve as shown here to determine the position of the equipment:...
  • Page 12 PREPARATIONS 1. Media Installation (continued) O-ring d) Unplug the riser tube, carefully position the valve over it and turn the valve into the threads in the fiberglass tank, tightening securely into tank. Note: Ensure that the internal O-ring in the valve fits securely over the riser tube. Silicone grease (part # 92360) or other food grade lubricant may be applied to the O-ring to ease installation of Resin the riser tube.
  • Page 13 Clips 3. Attaching Bypass to Valve Make sure the bypass is attached well to the control valve. Connect the straight or elbow connectors to the bypass with red clips. Connect the inlet and outlet of the Specialty System to the plumbing of the house.
  • Page 14 7. Connect Softener to the House Plumbing Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve. Always leave at least 6” (152 mm) between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve.

  • Page 17: System Check List/During Regeneration/Plumbing System Clean-Up

    SYSTEM CHECK LIST More than 90% of problems affecting the efficiency of a chemical iron free softener system can be identified in 9 minutes or less by following this diagnostic schedule. Start with Step 1, then follow each step in sequence to ensure proper diagnostic procedures. 1.
  • Page 18: Water Bypass/Operating Conditions

    4. After Softener installation is completed and final adjustments are made with the water turned on and brine draw tube reconnected, manually reposition timer on softener to backwash position. Allow timer to perform an automatic regeneration cycle. During backwash of softener, all iron cleaned from the resin will be washed down the drain. It is advisable, after chemically cleaning softener, to regenerate system twice to fully restore capacity lost due to iron fouling.
  • Page 19: Servicing 89 Valve

    Adding Salt Use only clean salt labeled for water conditioner use, such as crystal, pellet, nugget, button or solar. The use of rock salt is discouraged because it contains insoluble silt and sand which build up in the brine tank and can cause problems with the system’s operation. Add the salt directly to the tank, filling no higher than the top of the brine well. Bridging Humidity or the wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt.
