We believe your purchase of this water softener will prove to be a very wise choice.
5) Do NOT install the softener in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage and will also void the factory warranty. CHECK YOUR WATER PRESSURE AND PUMPING RATE: Two water system conditions must be checked carefully to avoid unsatisfactory operation or equipment damage: 6) Allow sufficient space around the unit for easy servicing. 1) MINIMUM water pressure required at the filter tank inlet is 20 psi.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION Figure 1. INSTALLATION SCHEMATIC Step 1. If not factory pre-installed, attach BYPASS VALVE or YOKE ASSEMBLY using ADAPTER COUPLINGS, CLIPS and SCREWS to CONTROL VALVE (Figure 2). On meter initiated models, attach METER between BYPASS VALVE and CONTROL VALVE (Figure 2). Step 3. Shut off all water at main supply valve. On a private well system, turn off power to pump and drain pressure tank.
Step 6. Attach DRAIN LINE to DRAIN LINE FITTING. To prevent back pressure from reducing flow rate below minimum required for backwash, DRAIN LINE MUST be sized according to run length and relative height. Be careful not to bend flexible drain tubing sharply enough to cause "kinking" (if kinking occurs DRAIN LINE MUST BE REPLACED). Typical examples of proper DRAIN LINE diameters are: Step 10. Make certain BYPASS VALVE INLET and OUTLET KNOBS ARE IN "BYPASS" position.
SPECIAL SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS: The control valve design permits adjustment of the salt dosage. This adjustment may be necessary when unusual operating conditions exist, such as high concentrations of iron or hardness and/or high flow rates or daily water consumption. This adjustment is easily performed by loosening the screw holding the white cam (on backside of timer) and adjusting the pointer to the desired pounds of salt. Under normal circumstances removal of valve should never be required.
SECTION 3: REGENERATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING REGENERATION FREQUENCY SCHEDULES: ADJUSTED HARDNESS is between two numbers in schedule, use higher number). Number in box represents FREQUENCY or NUMBER OF times per 12 DAYS timer should be set to regenerate. Refer to HOW TO SET TIME CLOCK REGENERATION CONTROL to set correct frequency.

HOW TO SET TIME CLOCK REGENERATION CONTROL HOW TO SET DAYS ON WHICH WATER SOFTENER IS TO REGENERATE: HOW TO MANUALLY REGENERATE YOUR WATER SOFTENER AT ANY TIME. Rotate the skipper wheel until the number "1" is at the red pointer. Set the days that regeneration is to occur by sliding tabs on the skipper wheel outward to expose trip fingers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving clockwise from the red pointer, extend or retract fingers to obtain the desired regeneration schedule.
HOW TO SET METER REGENERATION CONTROL TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION: To program, just set the time, set the hardness and it automatically monitors system needs and regenerates only when necessary. To set time of day, press red time set button and turn 24-hour gear until present time of day is opposite "time of day arrow.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE REPLENISHMENT OF SALT SUPPLY: PREVENTING IRON-FOULING OF MINERAL BED: The salt storage capacity of the brine tank is approximately 160 lbs. During each regeneration a specific amount of salt is consumed, thus requiring its periodic replenishment (the frequency is dependent on the regeneration schedule). Always replenish salt before the supply is exhausted to assure a continuous supply of softened water.
