  • Page 7: Installation

    INSTALLATION WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING THE ACTUAL INSTALLATION. WHILE WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT A LICENSED PLUMBER PERFORM ALL INSTALLATION WORK, A MECHANICALLY-INCLINED HOMEOWNER WITH SUITABLE PLUMBING KNOWLEDGE CAN INSTALL THIS SYSTEM. IN ALL CASES, IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE INSTALLATION BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL APPLICABLE PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL CODES.

  • Page 8: Step 2 - Selecting An Installation Location

    Step 2. – Selecting an Installation Location While exterior installation in warm climate areas is possible, we strongly recommend interior installation only. The system cannot be allowed to freeze or severe system damage could occur. The system should not be exposed to rain and it should not be installed in direct sunlight, as long-term exposure to UV light could damage components of the system.
  • Page 9 IF YOU HAVE OTHER WATER TREATMENT EQUIPMENT, YOU SHOULD DISCUSS THE ORDER OF YOUR TREATMENT EQUIPMENT WITH YOUR DEALER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. Select a location for installation of your water filter that is within close proximity to the main incoming water line of the home. The location should have a firm, level surface with enough space for the unit itself including the brine tank and sufficient space surrounding the unit to facilitate maintenance.

  • Page 10: Step 3 - Prepare Treatment Tank

    You will also need access to a standard, non-switched, grounded 120 volt (60 Hz) electrical outlet. An extension cord may be used to reach a suitable electrical outlet. If this option is used, ensure that the extension cord is UL/CSA certified and of an appropriate wire gauge for the application.
  • Page 11 For the following steps, we recommend that you wear a dust mask. Take the bag/box of gravel and, using a small scoop, add the gravel to the tank through the funnel to completely cover the lower distributor. Use all of the gravel. Be sure to provide some downward pressure on the riser tube while adding the gravel to ensure that the distributor does not shift out of its recess or rise up.

  • Page 12: Step 4 - Turn Off The Water & Electric Water Heaters

    Attach the upper screen to the underside of the control valve. Be sure to twist clockwise and lock it into place. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the top inch of the outside of the riser tube and to the tank o-ring seal. Note: Only use food-grade silicone lubricant.

The in and out arrows on the bypass should be pointing the same direction as the in and out arrows on the outside of the control valve. BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE YOU PLUMB THE SYSTEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The bypass assembly is secured to the control valve using threaded fittings.

  • Page 15: Step 6 - Drain Line Installation

    Place the bypass in the “bypass” position as pictured above. Step 6. – Drain Line Installation NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THE DRAIN LINE DIRECTLY INTO A DRAIN. ALLOW AN AIR-GAP OF A MINIMUM OF 1 INCH (CHECK LOCAL CODES) BETWEEN THE DRAIN LINE AND WASTE LINE TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF BACK-SIPHONING.

  • Page 18: Step 8 - Connect The Brine Tank Overflow To Drain

    If you have an excessive length of brine line, you should trim it to a more appropriate length first. The brine tubing should be as short and straight as possible. Make sure that the end of the brine tubing is cut square and that the tubing coating is smooth, unmarred, and undamaged.

  • Page 19: Step 9 - Control Valve Set-Up

    Step 9 – Control Valve Set-up During cold weather, the control valve should be warmed to room temperature before operating. Note: All electrical connections must be done according to local codes. Plug the control valve into a standard, grounded 120 volt (60 Hz) electrical outlet. Be certain that the outlet is uninterrupted and not controlled by a switch.

    The digital display should be alternating between the current time setting (which is probably incorrect), and the number of gallons remaining until the next regeneration cycle. You will also see the “service” icon which appears as a small faucet in the bottom left corner of the display window.
  • Page 21 Once you add salt, the brine tank will be difficult to move, so it is important that it be located in the desired location now. Do not add salt yet! Position the brine tank in its permanent location and add water to it until the water level is roughly 4 inches above the top of the salt grid.
  • Page 22 Once you have confirmed that you have a proper brine draw and you have waited at least 15 minutes, press the EXTRA CYCLE button to advance to the RAPID RINSE (“RR”) cycle. Allow this cycle to run for its full duration. When the RAPID RINSE (“RR”) cycle is complete, the control valve will enter the BRINE FILL (“BF”) cycle.

  • Page 23: Regeneration

    REGENERATION Tannin and organics filters remove the minerals responsible for hard water through a process called ion exchange. The resin attracts negatively charged tannin and organic ions. These contaminants cling to the resin and are removed from the water stream. As the resin becomes saturated with contaminants over time, the system is designed to perform an automatic a self-cleaning process called regeneration on a periodic basis.
  • Page 24 Please consult your dealer for advice if you would like to re-configure your system at a high capacity and salt dose. Be aware that such changes will result in a less efficient water ssystem and higher salt consumption. During each step of regeneration, the digital display on the control valve will indicate the cycle currently underway and the amount of time remaining in that cycle.

  • Page 25: Salt

    During the regeneration process, you can advance to the next step by pressing the EXTRA CYCLE button. The control valve will continue to keep time and the passage of days for a minimum of 48 hours in the event of power failure. SALT You must keep salt in the brine tank.

  • Page 26: Changing Time Of Day

    Salt Bridging It is sometimes possible for the salt pellets to wedge against each other and fail to fall into the water at the bottom of the brine tank. This is called bridging and it will prevent the formation of an effective brine solution. The system will try to regenerate but will not properly recondition the resin.
  • Page 27 display is 12:01PM, you cannot enter the User Programming Mode – simply wait a minute before attempting. DAYS OVERRIDE The display will first show the DAYS OVERRIDE (parameter display code DO). This is the setting that determines the minimum frequency of backwash (measured in days). For systems used on city water supplies, this parameter is normally set at 14 days.
  • Page 28 FEED WATER “HARDNESS” The display will now show the FEED WATER HARDNESS (parameter display code H). Since tannin filter control valves are more commonly used for use with water softeners, the programming is based on hardness instead of your tannin or Total Organic Carbon Level (TOC).

    The system should now return to normal service mode. The unit will also return to normal operation after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed. MASTER PROGRAMMING MODE THE MASTER PROGRAMMING MODE IS DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. UNLESS DIRECTED BY A WATER TREATMENT PROFESSIONAL FAMILIAR WITH THE SYSTEM, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT MODIFY ANY OF THE MASTER PROGRAMMING MODE SETTINGS To enter the Master Programming Mode, first set the time of day to 12:01PM.
