- Page 8 How the Water Softener Works Water hardness is derived from Calcium and Magnesium minerals that have been dis- solved into the water under the earth’s surface. These minerals are found in limestone deposits and are the source of hard water. The amount of hardness in a given water supply is dependent upon the quantity of Calcium and Magnesium present and the length of time water has been in contact with them.
- Page 9 Backwash - The control valve directs the water flow in a reverse direction through the mineral tank, separating the resin beads and flushing any accumulated particles to a waste drain. Brine & Rinse - In the first part of this cycle, the control valve directs brine sol- ution downward through the mineral tank, driving-off collected hardness ions and replenishing the resin beads with sodium ions.
- Page 10 Where to Install the Softener • Place the softener as close as possible to • Put the softener in a place where water the pressure tank (well system) or water damage is least likely to occur if a leak meter (city water). develops.
- Page 11 Softener Preparation Softener Tank Preparation Water Pressure: A minimum of 20 pounds of water pressure is required for the regenera- tion valve to operate effectively. Electrical Facilities: An uninterrupted alternating current (AC) supply is required. Note: Other voltages are available. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.
- Page 12 Use the funnel provided to pour the gravel into the tank. Pour it evenly around the hole to ensure it is well distributed in the tank and pour slow enough to keep from plugging the hole. Then proceed to pouring the softening resin into the tank. A helper may be needed to hold the funnel during the filling process.
- Page 13 Align the distributor tube with the center port on the bottom of the valve and push the valve onto it and the tank. Thread the valve on the tank by turning it clockwise. Be sure not to cross thread the valve on the tank. Tighten the valve hand tight then snug it further by tapping it with the palm of the hand.
- Page 14 Installation Instructions If your hot water tank is electric, turn off the power to it to avoid damage to the element in the tank. If you have a private well, turn the power off to the pump and then shut off the main water shut off valve.
- Page 15 A three valve bypass should be installed in the plumbing for service purposes. NOTE: All piping should be secured to prevent stress. Connect plumbing to the 1" MPT drain line connection and run it to the nearest laundry tub, floor drain or approved air gap fitting. NOTE: A direct connection into a waste drain is not recommended.
- Page 16 Connect the brine line to the control valve by removing the red clip from the brine port connection and pushing the brine line into the QC connection. Insert it fully and tug on the line lightly. If installed properly, it should not pull out. support.uswatersystems.com www.uswatersystems.com...
- Page 17 Now connect the brine line to the brine tank safety float assembly. Remove the brine tank lid and the brine well cap. There is a red clip on the cap that will be used to hold the brine line in place. Remove it, and the tape holding it, and put it to the side. Then push the brine line through the brine tank and brine well.
- Page 18 10. Open the brine tank lid and add 5 gallons of water to the brine tank. Add a minimum of 80 lbs of salt to the brine tank. NOTE: Salt should be filled, used completely and refilled. Salt should not be "topped off"...

- Page 21 Programming Using Legacy View App The Legacy View app allows the user to control every aspect of the water system from the convenience of a smart phone. The Legacy View app will allow the user to monitor usage history, change cycle times, start a regeneration and advance through a regenera- tion.

Regeneration Day Override: Adjust this parameter to every 14 days. If the system will be down more than two weeks at times, set the unit to 10 days.
- Page 24 Status and History The Status and History screen shows current conditions of the system as well as flow rate and usage history. There are two parameters that can be reset. Total Regenerations: This parameter shows how many times the system has regen- erated since it was put in service or since the last time the value was reset.
- Page 25 System Start-Up With the bypass handles in the bypass position, initiate an immediate regeneration. This will advance the valve to the backwash position. Once the valve has stopped moving and is in the backwash position, slowly open the bypass handles about 1/8th turn. Water should slowly enter the tank. NOTE: If there is a loud knocking sound, simply turn the bypass handle back a bit as the system is filling too quickly.
- Page 26 About The System Safety Float The brine tank is equipped with a safety float which prevents your brine tank from overfill- ing as a result of a malfunction such as a power failure. New Sounds You may notice new sounds as your water softener operates. The regeneration cycle lasts up to 120 minutes.
- Page 27 Maintenance Adding Salt Use only Extra Course Grade or Crystal Solar Salt (99.8% Pure) water softener salt. Check the salt level monthly. It is important to maintain the salt level above the water level. Salt should be filled, used completely, and refilled. Salt should not be “topped off” each month.
