Valve Camshaft

The front end of the camshaft has an indicator cup. The
cup has slots in the outer periphery and numbers on the
inside face (Figure 17).
The numbers can be seen with the cover off, from the front
over the top of the controller. The number at the top
indicates which regeneration cycle is currently in progress.
Figure 17
The corresponding slot for the number is positioned at the
optical sensor which is approximately 90 degrees out of
phase.
Regeneration Cycle Indicators
0 = Treated Water - normal operation mode
8 = Regenerant Refill
1 = Backwash Cycle
2 = Regenerant Draw Cycle
3 = Slow Rinse Cycle
4 = System Pause
5 = Fast Rinse Cycle 1
6 = Backwash Cycle 2
7 = Fast Rinse Cycle 2
Note: If electrical power is not available, the camshaft
can be rotated counterlockwise by hand if the motor is
removed.

Injector Instructions

The injectors are coded according to size, by the number of
"bumps" molded onto the end of the injector. The valve
injector size is based on water pressure of 20 to 60 psi and
uses an injector with 5 bumps. If water pressure exceeds
60 psi we recommend using a 4 bump size, see table
below.
Water Pressure
20 to 60 psi
61 to 120 psi

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.
Some conditioners may need to be disinfected after
installation and some conditioners will require periodic
disinfection during their normal life.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of
conditioner, the type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant
available, a choice can be made among the following
methods.
