EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION General Warnings And Safety Information The 268 water conditioner’s control valve conforms to NSF/ANSI 44 and 61 for materials and structural integrity only. Generic systems were tested and certified by WQA as verified by the performance data sheet. Electrical There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC adapter, motor, or controller. - Page 10 General • Observe all warnings that appear in this manual. • Keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not turn on side, upside down, or drop. Turning the tank upside down will cause media to enter the valve. •...

WARNING: The inlet water must be connected to the inlet port of the valve. When replacing non-Autotrol valves, the inlet and outlet may be reversed. It is also possible for the plumbing to be installed in an opposite order. Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder. WARNING: Do not use tools to tighten plastic fittings. -
Page 18: Overflow Line Connection
Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used. Secure the end of the drain line to prevent it from moving.

Page 25: System Disinfection
SYSTEM DISINFECTION Disinfection Of Water Conditioners The materials of construction of the modern water conditioner will not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials contaminate a water supply. During normal use, a conditioner may become fouled with organic matter, or in some cases with bacteria from the water supply. This may result in an off-taste or odor in the water. - Page 26 Calcium Hypochlorite Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in several forms including tablets and granules. These solid materials may be used directly without dissolving before use. 1. Dosage A. Two grains (approximately 0.1 ounce [3 mL]) per cubic foot. 2.

Allow water to run to drain until the water runs clear from the drain line. This purges any refuse from the media bed. D. Turn off the water supply and let the system stand for about five minutes. This will allow any air trapped to escape from the tank. 5.

Page 40: Programming The 700 For 5-Cycle Filter Applications
PROGRAMMING THE 700 FOR 5-CYCLE FILTER APPLICATIONS Manganese Greensand Systems Sizing FA Filters Potassium permanganate regenerating iron filters should be sized for the appropriate backwash and injector sizes. Backwash Controller Be sure to choose the appropriate backwash flow rate control (see Parts section) as recommended by your media manufacturer. - Page 41 For example, an average person uses 75 gallons of water per day. Four people living in a home use 300 gallons of water (75 gallons x 4 people) per day. Assume the incoming water has 10 ppm of iron. Now calculate the daily demand: multiply the gallons of water used per day (300) by the ppm of iron content (10) = 3000 ppm of daily capacity usage.
- Page 42 Things You Might Need to Know • When the controller is first plugged in, it may display a flashing hourglass and the message Err 3, this means that the controller is rotating to the home position. If the Err 2 is displayed, check that the incoming power frequency matches the controller.
