Page 2: Main Components
MAIN COMPONENTS Your water treatment system is a Twin‐Alt point of entry (POE) system composed of four components: A. The control valve and computer assembly The fiberglass tank assembly's including the water treatment medium The brine tank assembly including safety float. Each of these assemblies has a specific func on as described below: Control Valve Assembly…Automa cally monitors water usage pa erns, ini ates regenera on and moves the valve through the steps of regenera on. Media Tank Assembly… A fiberglass vessels, which contains the water so ening media, in the proper diameter and depth of the media and evenly distributes the feed water throughout the media tank assembly. Brine Tank Assembly…A polyethylene vessel, which is used to dissolve salt and to hold the proper amount of brine for the next regenera on. A brine valve keeps the control valve from drawing air into the system. STEPS OF OPERATION Service…Hard water flows downward through the water so ening resin where the hardness minerals, calcium and magnesium, as well as dissolved iron, are removed from the water and are collected on the resin. The amount of resin and the salt dosage gives resin a certain capacity for hardness and iron removal. Backwash 1 …During the cycle the water flows upward through the resin bed and washes collected sediment or other foreign ma‐ terial to the drain. ... - Page 3 GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION The following guidelines are recommended for you to obtain maximum efficiency from your water treatment system: Control Valve… Try to keep free of dirt and debris both on valve body and under cover. No lubrica on is required. Brine Tank … A major cleaning is recommended every two years. This interval may need to be adjusted depending on the amount of insoluble material in the salt being used. Allow salt level to become very low so there is li le to remove. Scoop out un‐dissolved salt. Disconnect and remove brine valve. There is no pressure or suc on on this line except during a regenera on. Remove internal parts of brine tank, if any. Clean brine tank interior with a mild cleaning agent (dish soap) and rinse thoroughly. Replace brine valve and internal parts. Pour five gallons of water (so ened if available) into the tank (Add only two gallons if pre‐brine refill op on is used). ...

GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE CAUTIONS The control valve, fittings, and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments they are not de- signed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants, or silicone spray anywhere. Do not use silicone on red or clear lip seals. Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Teflon tape must be used on the threads of the 1" NPT elbow, its ¼" NPT connec ons, and on the threads for the drain line connec on. Teflon tape is not used on the nut connec ons or caps because o‐ring seals are used. The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or ghtened by hand or with the special plas c Service Wrench, CLV‐V3193(models with Clack control valves). If necessary, pliers can be used to unscrew the nut ... - Page 5 The distance between the drain and the water condi oner should be as short as possible. Since salt must be periodically added to the brine tank, the tank should be located where it is easily accessible. Do not install any water condi oner with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a water heater. Do not locate unit where it or its connec ons (including the drain and overflow lines) will be subjected to temperatures at or below 34ºF. The use of resin cleaner in an unvented enclosure is not recommended. Do not install equipment in loca ons that would receive rain run‐off from roof. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Connect to a supply line downstream of outdoor spigots. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb to the units bypass valve inlet located at the right rear as you face the unit. When assembling the installa on‐fi ng package (inlet and outlet), connect the fi ng to the plumbing system first and then a ach the nut, split ring and O‐ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements will damage the nut, split ring or O‐ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and O‐ring. Avoid ge ng solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any part of the o‐rings, split rings, bypass valve, or control valve. If the building’s electrical system is grounded to the plumbing install a copper‐ grounding strap from the inlet to the outlet pipe. Plumbing must be done in accordance with all applicable local codes. ...

Press and hold REGEN bu on for 5 seconds to start a re‐ genera on let the first backwash complete and then skip the B rine & Rinse cycle by pressing the Regen bu on when mer starts coun ng down. Allow the next cycle to complete then skip the Fill Cycle for the first tank. Repeat these steps for the sec‐ ond tank ( DO NOT skip the fill cycle on the second tank). The system is now ready for use. ***Do not remove red clips on Brine Tank connec on or Drain connec on, these clips are retainer clips and must be installed for proper opera on. ...
