INTRODUCTION General Warnings and establishes the service piston positions. The display should flash all wording, then flash the software version (e.g. 154) and then reset the valve to the service position. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 1/2". Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20' require 3/4" drain line.

CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONS Control Valve Function and Cycles of Operation The transformer power pack comes with a 15-foot power cord and is designed for use with the control valve. The transformer power pack is for dry location use only. The control valve remembers all settings for two hours if the power goes out. After two hours the only item that needs to be reset is the time of day, all other values are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory. The control valve does not need batteries.
INSTALLATION Installation Preview Conduct a visual check of all equipment for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. Note: Softener to be located at least 10 feet away from hot waterheater to protect against hot water back-up. Note: If there is obvious damage to any equipment, it should be noted on the carrier’s Bill Of Lading. Open and inspect the contents of all closed crates, cartons, etc. and inspect for concealed damage. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage during transit.
INSTALLATION Figure 2: Plumbing with 3-way b pass. Figure 1: Plumbing with by pass (Standard). Figure 4: 3-way bypass plumbing. Figure 3: Bypass (standard). Figure 6: When installing sweat copper follow state and federal codes by using a lead free solder and flux. Use a joint compound to seal threaded pipe. Some homes use the cold water pipes for an electrical ground (metal only). Whenfinished with plumbing, a ground wire should bre connected to the copper pipes to complete the ground curcuit.
INSTALLATION STEP 3: Move softener into place Note: When assembling the installation fitting package, connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring, and o-ring. Make sure solder joints are cool before assemble is started. Make sure floor is level. Install shims if needed.
INSTALLATION STEP 5: Connect the Drain Line If the drain line is a 5/8" flexible poly tube, slide the nut onto the poly tube, then place the poly tube insert into the end of the poly tube and tighten the nut on to the 3/4" drain line fitting. The nut is only designed for use with flexible poly tube. Use other nuts if attaching different materials. Run line to a drain. Making sure you have a 1 1/2" airgap. You may use a floor drain, standpipe or any open type drain (see Fig 10).

CONTROL PROGRAMMING INSTALLER (I) Displays/Settings STEP 1I – Press NEXT and arrow up simultaneously for 3 seconds. STEP 2I – Hardness: Set the amount of hardness in grains of hardness as calcium carbonate per gallon using, arrow down or arrow up buttons. The default is 20 with value ranges from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments. Note the grains per gallon can be increased if soluble iron needs to be reduced. Press NEXT to go to step 3I. Press REGEN to exit Installer Displays/Settings.
PROGRAMMING (NOTE) SANITIZING THE SYSTEM SET TIME OF DAY 1. At completion of softener installation you should sanitize the system. The user can also set the time of day. Time of day should only need to be set after extended power outages or when daylight savings 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. 2. Take the lid off of the salt tank and then take the cap off of the brine well.

The screw-driven, horizontally moving piston stops at specific positions to direct the flow of water to backwash, regenerate, rinse or refill.
CONTENTS The drain line flow control can be installed in the standard 1/4" drain line elbow, which accommodates 5/8" poly tube or 3/4" NPT drain line connections. The optional nut and poly tube insert for the 3/4" drain line elbow is designed for use with flexible poly tube only. The 3/4" drain line elbow can be rotated 180 degrees so the outlet can be orientated to the nearest drain. The same retainer is used for all drain line flow controls for the 3/4" fitting.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESCRIBED Figure 17: Figure 18: Figure 19 Figure 20:: SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESCRIBED Service Instructions DRIVE ASSEMBLY To reassemble seat the bottom of the drive bracket so the notches are engaged at the bottom of the drive back plate. Push the top of the drive bracket towards the two latches. The drive bracket may have to be lifted slightly to let the threaded piston rod pass through the hole in the drive bracket.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS board. Move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Rotate the motor at least a 1/4 turn in either direction before gently pulling on the wire connectors to remove the motor. Pulling directly on the wires without rotating the motor may break the wires off the motor. vinegar or replace the main piston. Reattach the main piston to the drive cap assembly. Reattach the regenerant piston (if needed) to the main piston. Do not lubricate the piston rod, main piston or regenerant piston.
CONTENTS The plug and/or injector can be pried out with a small screwdriver. The plug can be wiped clean. If the plug leaks replace the entire plug. The injector consists of a throat and a nozzle. Chemically clean the injector with vinegar or sodium bisulfite. 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.
