Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System System Specifications Figure 1. Specifications US Water Systems classifies each softener according to the actual resin capacity. However, this is not the regeneration capacity. The regeneration capacity will be lower than the actual resin capacity. This is due to the resin ’ s regeneration salt curve.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System How Your Water Conditioner Works The principle behind water softening is simple chemistry. A water softener contains resin beads which hold electrically charged ions. When hard water passes through the softener, calcium and magnesium ions are attracted to the charged resin beads.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System MENU BUTTON The function of this key is to enter level one programming mode where the valve settings can be adjusted. This button has two functions. The first is to initiate a manual regeneration by holding the button for 3 or more seconds.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System During a regeneration cycle, the valve will display what position it is advancing to. Once in the correct position, the valve will display the current position along with the time remaining for that cycle. On the bottom row, the time remaining is also graphically displayed. BACKWASH REMAINING 6 MIN Figure 4.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System Matrixx Tank Installation Instructions WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 20 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate effectively. ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Note: Other voltages are availa- ble. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System Assembly Instructions Valve Installation 1) Remove the tape from the riser and discard. 2) Lubricate the two o-rings with a light coat of Silicone. 3) Install the Upper Basket to the valve, twisting it to lock it in place (if not already installed). 4) Slip the Upper Basket over the Riser sliding it down into place and screw the valve on and tighten.

Use a 1/2” minimum pipe or tubing size for the drain line Use a 3/4” pipe or tubing for backwash flow rates that exceed 7 gpm or length that exceeds 20ft (6 m) 3. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve.

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System Automatic Bypass The regeneration cycle lasts approximately 75 minutes, after which soft water service will be re- stored. During regeneration, hard water is automatically bypassed for use in the household. Hot water should be used as little as possible during this time to prevent hard water from filling the wa- ter heater.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System Maintenance Adding Salt Use only crystal water softener salt. Check the salt level monthly. It is important to maintain the salt level above the water level. To add salt, simply lift the salt lid and add the salt directly into the brine tank. Be sure the brine well cover is on and fill only to the height of the brine well.
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Matrixx MX-100, MX-150, MX-200 System Shut off the water supply to your softener and reduce the pressure by opening a cold soft water faucet. Using a screwdriver, remove the two screws holding the injector cover to the control valve body. Carefully remove the assembly and disassemble as shown in Figure 6.
