  • Page 8: How The Tannin Removal System Works

    How the Tannin Removal System Works The principle behind Tannin removal is simple chemistry. A Tannin removal system con- tains resin beads which hold electrically charged ions. When soft water with Tannin passes through the system, Tannins are attracted to the charged resin beads. The result is removal of Tannins from the water.
  • Page 9: Where To Install The System

    Where to Install the System • Place the system after sediment filtration • Put the system in a place where water and the water softener. The feed water damage is least likely to occur if a leak to the Tannin removal system must be develops.
  • Page 10: System Preparation

    System Preparation System 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 11 Use the blue funnel provided to pour the media 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. A helper may be needed to hold the funnel during the filling process.
  • Page 12 Install the upper basket on the bottom of the valve by lining up the tabs then turning the basket clockwise to lock it in place. Place the upper basket over the distributor tube and push the valve onto the tank. Thread the valve on the tank by turning it clockwise.
  • Page 13 Tighten the valve hand tight then snug it further by tapping it with the palm of the hand. DO NOT use tools to tighten the valve or damage could occur. support.uswatersystems.com www.uswatersystems.com...
  • Page 14: Installation Instructions

    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 Insert the provided plumbing fittings into the bypass. 3/4" and 1" male pipe thread fittings are supplied so ensure you pick the correct one for your plumbing. Tighten the retaining nuts hand tight, ensuring that the fittings are not cross threaded. support.uswatersystems.com www.uswatersystems.com...
  • Page 16 Be sure to use Teflon tape or other pipe sealant on the plumbing fitting threads and install them on the bypass accordingly. Use an adjustable wrench to ensure they are tight. NOTE: All piping should be secured to prevent stress on the bypass valve and connectors.
  • Page 17 Connect the drain hose to the valve and secure it with a hose clamp. Run the drain hose to the nearest laundry tub, floor drain or approved air gap fitting. The drain can be ran overhead or down along the floor. Drain tubing should be a minimum of 1/2" ID.
  • Page 18 Two different brine line connections are available for the valve. There is no quali- tative difference between the two but installation does vary. Please confirm which version you have and proceed accordingly. If Valve has Quick Connect Brine Connection: Remove the blue locking clip from the brine line connection on the valve.
  • Page 19 Push the brine line in the control valve until it stops. Then push the nut down on the fitting and tighten it hand tight. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nut an additional 1/2 turn. CAUTION: Use two wrenches to tighten the brass nut. The brass fitting must be held while tightening the brass nut.
  • Page 20 10. 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 21 13. 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"...

Regeneration Day Override: Adjust this parameter to every 2 days. This setting will ensure the system is regenerating properly to remove tannins.
  • Page 27 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 28: System Start-Up

    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 29: System Features

    System Features Battery Back-Up (Uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.) • During power failures, the battery will maintain the time of day as long as the battery has power. The display is turned off to conserve battery power during this time. To confirm that the battery is working, press either button and the display will turn on for five (5) seconds.
  • Page 30 Pull out the 9V battery connector, remove the battery cover, and attach the battery to the connector. Push the battery back in the holder on the valve and replace the cover and screws. support.uswatersystems.com www.uswatersystems.com...
