Installation GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not necessary.
5. The use of resin cleaners in an unvented enclosure is not recommended. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Connect to supply line downstream of outdoor spigots. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb to the unit’s bypass valve inlet located at the right rear as you face the unit. There are a variety of installation fittings available. They are listed under Installation Fitting Assemblies.

valve is particularly unique in the water treatment industry due to its versatility and state of the art design features. The 1” full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions including a diagnostic position that allows service personnel to work on a pressurized system while still providing untreated bypass water to the facility or residence.
Start-up Instructions • After installation is completed and checked for leaks, rotate the bypass handles to the bypass position (see bypass valve diagram page). • Fully open a cold water faucet. • Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris, which may have occurred during installation.
General Operation PLEASE NOTE: For complete instructions refer to manual. Hand tighten nuts only. GENERAL OPERATION When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown: time of day will be one choice, gallons of treated water available or days until the next regeneration will be the other choice.
Page 10
MANUAL REGENERATION NOTE: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least 2 hours before regeneration. If you need to initiate a manual regeneration, either immediately, or tonight at the preprogrammed time (typically 2 a.m.). complete The following steps.
User Displays/Settings General Operation When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day (to the nearest hour). The second display is the days remaining until the next regeneration. If the days remaining are equal to one, regeneration will occur at the next preset regeneration time.
Page 12
Set Time of Day The user can also set time of day. Time of day should only need to be set after extended power outages or when daylight saving time begins or ends. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset.
Installers Displays/Settings STEP 1I – Press NEXT and UP simultaneously for 3 seconds. STEP 2I – Hardness: Set the amount of hardness in grains of hardness as calcium carbonate per gallon using the DOWN or UP buttons. The default is 20 with value ranges from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments.

The drive gear cover only fits on one way, with the large clip tilted towards the bottom. If all three clips are outside of the gear shroud on the drive bracket the drive gear cover slips easily into place. The drive bracket does not need to be removed from the drive plate if the motor needs to be removed.

The drive cap assembly contains the drive cap, the main drive gear, drive cap spline, piston rod and various other parts that should not be disassembled in the field. The only replaceable part on the drive cap assembly is the o-ring. Attached to the drive cap assembly is the main piston and, if a regenerant is used, a regenerant piston.

The plug and/or injector can be pried out with a small screwdriver/ the plug can be wiped clean. If the lug leaks replace the entire plug. The injector consists of a throat and a nozzle. Chemically clean the injector with vinegar or sodium bisulfate. The holes can be blown out with air. Both pieces have small diameter holes that control the flow rates of water to insure that the proper concentration of regenerant is used.
