If the control valve is to be used to regenerate the water conditioner with brine (saturated salt solution) or other regenerants, use a polyethylene tube to connect the brine valve contained in the regenerant tank to the regenerant port on the control valve.
Page 10 System Startup 1. After installation is completed, turn on the supply water to check for leaks 2. Fully open a cold-water faucet downstream of the system 3. Allow water to run until clear 4. Close the cold-water faucet 5.
Page 11 Service Instructions When servicing the valve, water may leak from Disconnect from electrical power prior to the valve. Water from the valve may create a slip servicing the valve. hazard. Clean up water spills. Drive Assembly Disassembly and Inspection: Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly.
Page 12 Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. To reinstall the motor, move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Gently turn the motor while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover. Release the spring clip loop and continue to rotate the motor until the motor housing engages the small plastic bulge inside the drive bracket motor retainer.
Page 13 Main Piston and Regenerant Piston Disassembly and Inspection Attached to the drive cap assembly is the main piston and depending on the configuration, a regenerant piston. The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by unsnapping it from its disassembly latch. To remove the main piston fully extend the piston rod and then unsnap the main piston from its latch by pressing on the side with the number.
Page 14 Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector Disassembly and Inspection The injector can be accessed at the back of the valve by removing the threaded injector cap. The cap is removed by using the V3193-02 service wrench (figure 1). Once the cap is removed: •...
Page 15 Drain Line Flow Control Disassembly and Inspection Depending on the flow control installed on the unit, remove the red plastic retaining clip (plastic flow control) or the (4) screws (stainless steel flow control) to expose the flow control and retainer. The flow controls can be removed by flexing the washer with a small screwdriver being careful not to mar the plastic seat.
