SECTION 1: BEFORE INSTALLATION

Congratulations! We believe your purchase of this water softener will prove to be a very wise choice. When properly installed, operated, and maintained, your new water softener will provide years of dependable service. Before starting the installation, please read this entire manual for an overview, and then follow the installation instructions. Failure to follow the instructions will void the warranty.

Inspecting And Handling Your Water Softener:

Inspect shipping carton and the equipment for shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage inspection.

Handle the equipment with care. Damage can result if dropped or if the brine tank is set on sharp, uneven projections on the ﬂ oor. When handling, do not turn the water softener unit upside down or on its side to help prevent media from entering valve and being discharged downstream.

Make Sure Your Water Has Been Thoroughly Tested:

An analysis of your water should be made prior to the selection of your water softener. You can typically get this service through your place of purchase, which may require sending a sample to the factory for analysis and recommendations.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Water softeners are designed to reduce hardness and reasonable amounts of soluble iron if consideration is given to iron content when selecting model and regeneration settings. To treat sulfur (hydrogen sulﬁ de), bacterial iron, precipitated iron or very high levels of soluble iron special equipment in addition to a water softener is required. For best results, the Aqua-Pure® APPM or APIF Series Systems are recommended for use on waters containing more than 2 ppm of iron.

Check Your Pumping Rate and Water Pressure:

Two water system conditions must be checked carefully to avoid unsatisfactory operation or equipment damage:

1) MINIMUM water pressure required at the water softener inlet is 20 psi (138 kPa).

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

NOTE: Call your local water department or plant operator to obtain pressure readings. If you have a private well, the gauge on the pressure tank

will indicate the high and low system pressure. Record your water pressure data below:

Water Pressure:

Low psi High psi

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

• Do not install system where water lines could be subjected to vacuum conditions without appropriate measures for vacuum prevention.

The installer is required to take appropriate measures if there is the possibility a vacuum condition may occur. This would include the installation

of an appropriate device in the supply line to the system, i.e., a vacuum breaker or backﬂ ow prevention device. Vacuum damage voids the factory warranty.

2) The pumping rate of your well must be sufﬁ cient for satisfactory operation and BACKWASHING of the water softener. (See Speciﬁ cations And

Operating Data, Section 6).

IMPORTANT NOTE

If sediment is present, the installation of a sediment pre-ﬁ lter is recommended. Even if sediment is not currently present or at a level high enough to be

objectionable, a pre-ﬁ lter can help increase the efﬁ ciency of the softener and help reduce the amount of maintenance required.

Installation Site Selection:

Select the location of your water softener with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper location are as follows:

1) Locate as close as possible to water supply source.

2) Locate as close as possible to a drain.

3) Locate in correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment (Figure 1, page 2-1).

4) Locate the water softener in the supply line BEFORE the water heater. Temperatures above 110°F (43°C) will damage the water softener and void the factory warranty.

5) DO NOT install the water softener in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage and will also void the factory warranty.

6) Allow sufﬁ cient space around the installation for easy servicing.

7) Provide a non-switched 110V, 60Hz (220V, 50Hz for speciﬁ ed systems) power source for the control valve.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:

• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

• Protect from freezing, relieve pressure and drain system when temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F (4°C).

• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this water softener is 110°F (43.3°C).

• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.

Facts to Remember While Planning The Installation:

1) All installation procedures MUST conform to local and state plumbing codes.

2) If lawn sprinklers, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities are to be treated by the water softener, a larger model MUST be selected to accommodate the higher ﬂ ow rate plus the backwashing requirements of the water softener. Consult your Dealer/ Installer or our Customer Service Department at 1-800-222-7880 for alternative instructions if the pumping rate is insufﬁ cient.

3) Remember that the water softener INLET is attached to the pipe that supplies water (i.e. delivers water from the well pump or after the water meter) and the OUTLET is the line that runs toward the water heater.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines:

4) Before beginning the installation review the existing piping system and to determine the size, number and type of ﬁ ttings required.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage:

• If the home electrical system requires use of the cold water system as an electrical safety ground, a jumper must be used to ensure a sufﬁ cient ground connection

across the water softener installation piping — refer installation to qualiﬁ ed personnel.

5) Sweep the ﬂ oor to eliminate objects that could pierce the brine tank.

IMPORTANT NOTE

SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners using sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water. People who are on sodium restricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake.

Page 7

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).

Figure 2. Softener And Brine Tank Assembly, Top View

Step 2

Shut off all water at main supply valve. On a private well system, turn off power to pump and drain pressure tank. Make certain pressure is relieved from complete system by opening nearest faucet to drain system.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

• SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.

Step 3

Cut main supply line as required to ﬁ t plumbing to inlet and outlet of unit.

Step 4

Attach plumbing. Do not apply heat to any ﬁ tting connected to bypass or control valve as damage may result to internal parts or connecting adapters. Make certain water ﬂ ow enters through inlet and discharges through outlet. Loosen set screw and pull out drain line ﬂ ow control (DLFC) assembly from valve body (Figure 2). Unscrew drain line elbow from DLFC. Apply thread tape to threads. Reassemble and fully insert into valve body before tightening set screw with ﬁ nger pressure only (overtightening set screw may crack ﬁ tting).

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near ﬁ lter system, cartridges, plastic ﬁ ttings or plastic plumbing.

• On plastic ﬁ ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic.

• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic ﬁ ttings, as damage may occur if over tightening occurs.

2-2

Page 8

Step 5

Attach drain line to drain line ﬁ tting. To prevent back pressure from reducing ﬂ ow rate below minimum required for backwash, drain line must be sized according to run length and relative height. Be careful not to bend ﬂ exible drain tubing sharply enough to cause "kinking" (if kinking occurs drain line must be replaced). Typical examples of proper drain line diameters are:

(1) 1/2 in. ID up to 15 ft. when discharge is lower than inlet.

(2) 5/8 in. ID up to 15 ft. when discharge is slightly higher than inlet.

(3) 3/4 in. ID when drain is 25 ft. away and/or drain is installed overhead.

Some areas prohibit the use of ﬂ exible drain lines. Check with local code ofﬁ cials prior to installation.

Step 6

Position drain line over drain and secure ﬁ rmly. To prevent backsiphoning of waste water, provide an air gap of at least 2 in. or 2 pipe diameters between end of drain hose and drain (Figure 3). DO NOT raise drain line more than 10 ft. above ﬂ oor.

Figure 3. Typical Drain

Step 7

Connect one end of the 3/8 in. poly line to brine valve located on the right side of control valve. Connect other end to elbow inside of brine well. Brass insert sleeves and plastic ferrules must be used where necessary. (Figure 2 and Control Valve Parts drawing, Section 7).

Step 8

Install overﬂ ow line to brine tank overﬂ ow ﬁ tting (Figure 2). Discharge of line must be lower than overﬂ ow ﬁ tting. DO NOT INTERCONNECT OVERFLOW LINE WITH VALVE DRAIN LINE.

Step 9

Make certain bypass valve inlet and outlet knobs are in "BYPASS" position. After all plumbing connections have been completed, open main water shut-off valve or restore power to well pump. Check for leaks and correct as necessary.

Step 10

Plug control valve power cord into 110v/60hz, non-switched power source. Manually stage control to backwash position (See "How To Manually Regenerate Your Water Softener At Any Time") and then unplug power cord to prevent the unit from advancing automatically.

ROTATE

KNOBS

Step 11

Partially open inlet valve in plumbing or on bypass valve (Figure 4). This will allow the unit to ﬁ ll slowly from the bottom up, eliminating air entrapment. Allow unit to ﬁ ll slowly, failure to do so could result in loss of resin to the drain. Once a steady stream of water, no air, is ﬂ owing to drain, the inlet valve can be fully opened. The outlet valve can also be opened and the bypass (if applicable) can be closed.

Step 12

On time clock initiated models, set regeneration frequency. Refer to Regeneration Frequency Schedules (Section 3) to determine correct frequency, then refer to How To Set Time Clock Regeneration Control (Section 3) for instructions on setting frequency. For meter initiated models, refer to How To Set Meter Regeneration Control.

NOTE: Regeneration settings for both time clock and meter initiated models are factory preset for the most efﬁ cient salt use and minimum water consumption used for regeneration (as little as 30 gallons), and conform to the industry salt efﬁ ciency standards (required by some states). Regeneration frequency schedules are designed for use with factory regeneration settings (listed in Speciﬁ cations And Operating Data, Section 6).

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 ﬂ ow rates or daily water consumption (refer to "How To Set Regeneration Cycle Program" Section 3) for adjustment procedures.

NOTE: For salt dosages greater than 15 lbs (6.8 kg), grid leg extensions must be attached to bottom of grid legs. For salt dosages less than 15 lbs (6.8 kg). DO NOT use extension legs.

Step 13

Set time of day (refer to appropriate How To Set Time Clock/Meter Regeneration Control, Section 3). When shifting to daylight saving time (and back), you may wish to adjust time of day accordingly.

NOTE: time of regeneration is preset for 2:00 a.m. because at this time water consumption is generally minimal (a built-in hard water bypass does, however, permit water to be drawn during regeneration). Should your life style require regular use of water during the 2:00 to 3:00 a.m. regeneration period, or if other water treatment equipment is also set for 2:00 a.m. regeneration, the time of regeneration will need changing. Refer to Section 3, How To Set Time Clock Regeneration Control, for adjustment procedure.

Step 14

Before loading salt, using a pail or garden hose, add approximately 3 gals. water to brine tank (6 gals. for units with extended grid legs). Then add initial salt ﬁ ll to brine tank, and one cup full of unscented laundry bleach to brine well.

Step 15

Put softener through complete regeneration to sanitize the system before use (Refer to How To Set Time Clock (or Meter) Regeneration Control for instructions on manual regeneration). Restore fuel supply or power to water heater.

Installation is now complete, and your water softener is now ready for service!

SPECIAL SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS:

Under normal circumstances removal of the valve should not be required. However, if it must be removed, disconnect the plumbing attached to the bypass valve ﬁ rst. Then, rotate the valve head assembly to the left or counter-clockwise. Before attempting any disassembly, pressure should be relieved by shutting off water to the system and opening a faucet. Upon reassembly, all o-rings should be lubricated with silicone grease. Reattach valve head assembly by rotating to the right or clockwise until valve head assembly is seated to the tank hand tight. Reconnect the plumbing to the bypass valve.

SECTION 3: REGENERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING REGENERATION FREQUENCY SCHEDULES:

(Time clock initiated models only)

1) Determine ADJUSTED HARDNESS by adding three (3) times the iron content in parts per million (ppm) to the hardness in grains per gallon (gpg). The resulting number is ADJUSTED HARDNESS.

EXAMPLE: Hardness is 14 gpg and iron is 2 ppm. ADJUSTED HARDNESS is 20 gpg (14 plus 3 times 2).

2) Select REGENERATION FREQUENCY SCHEDULE corresponding to your model. Locate box intersected by NUMBER IN FAMILY and ADJUSTED HARDNESS (if ADJUSTED HARDNESS is between two numbers in schedule, use higher number). Number in box represents FREQUENCY or NUMBER OF TIMES PER 12 DAYS time clock should be set to regenerate. Refer to HOW TO SET TIME CLOCK REGENERATION CONTROL to set correct frequency.

EXAMPLE: You have Model CS1001, 4 in family and 20 gpg adjusted hardness. Refer to REGENERATION FREQUENCY SCHEDULE for Model Series 1001 and locate box intersected by 4 in family and 20 gpg adjusted hardness. The ﬁ gure "3" in box indicates a REGENERATION frequency of THREE TIMES PER 12 DAYS (if a "1", "2", "4", etc. were in box, frequencies of once twice and four times per twelve days, respectively, would be indicated.)

HOW TO SET TIME CLOCK REGENERATION CONTROL

Above time clock shown in the SERVICE POSITION with dot opposite TIME OF DAY ARROW.

HOW TO SET DAYS ON WHICH WATER SOFTENER IS TO REGENERATE:

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 ﬁ ngers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving clockwise from the red pointer, extend or retract ﬁ ngers to obtain the desired regeneration schedule.

HOW TO SET THE TIME OF DAY:

1) Press and hold the red button in to disengage the drive gear.

2) Turn the large gear until the actual time of day is opposite the time of day pointer.

3) Release the red button to again engage the drive gear.

4) Time of regeneration is preset for 2:00 a.m.

HOW TO MANUALLY REGENERATE YOUR WATER SOFTENER AT ANY TIME:

Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise.

A slight, clockwise movement of the manual regeneration knob engages the program wheel and starts the regeneration program.

The black center knob will make one revolution in the following approximately three hours and stop in the position shown in the drawing (SERVICE POSITION).

Even though it takes three hours for this center knob to complete one revolution, the regeneration cycle of your unit might be set only one-third of this time.

In any event, conditioned water may be drawn after rinse water stops ﬂ owing from the water softener drain line.

HOW TO ADJUST REGENERATION TIME:

1) Disconnect the power source.

2) Locate the three screws behind the manual regeneration knob by pushing the red button in and rotating the 24 hour dial until each screw appears in the cut out portion of the manual regeneration knob.

3) Loosen each screw slightly to release the pressure on the time plate from the 24 hour gear.

4) Locate the regeneration time pointer on the inside of the 24 hour dial in the cut out.

5) Turn the time plate so the desired regeneration time aligns next to the raised arrow.

6) Push the red button in and rotate the 24 hour dial. Tighten each of the three screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

7) Push the red button and locate the pointer one more time to ensure the desired regeneration time is correct.

8) Reset the time of day and restore power to the unit.

3-3

Page 13

HOW TO SET REGENERATION CYCLE PROGRAM

The regeneration cycle program on your water softener has been factory preset, however, portions of the cycle or program may be lengthened or shortened in time to suit local conditions.

To expose cycle program wheel, grasp time clock in upper left-hand corner and pull, releasing snap retainer and swinging time clock to the right.

To change the regeneration cycle program, the program wheel must be removed. Grasp program wheel and squeeze protruding lugs toward center, lift program wheel off time clock. (Switch arms may require movement to facilitate removal.)

After making any desired changes, as desired below, return program wheel dial to closed position.

Return time clock to closed position engaging snap retainer in back plate. Make certain all electrical wires locate above snap retainer post.

HOW TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF THE BACKWASH TIME:

The program wheel as shown in the drawing is in the service position. As you look at the numbered side of the program wheel, the group of pins starting at zero determines the length of time your unit will backwash.

FOR EXAMPLE: If there are six pins in this section, the time of backwash will be 12 min. (2 min. per pin). To change the length of backwash time, add or remove pins as required. The number of pins times two equals the backwash time in minutes.

HOW TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF BRINE AND RINSE TIME:

The group of holes between the last pin in the backwash section and the second group of pins determines the length of time that your unit will brine and rinse. (2 min. per hole)

To change the length of brine and rinse time, move the rapid rinse group of pins to give more or fewer holes in the brine and rinse section. Number of holes times two equals brine and rinse time in minutes.

HOW TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF RAPID RINSE:

The second group of pins on the program wheel determines the length of time that your water softener will rapid rinse (2 minutes per pin).

To change the length of rapid rinse time, add or remove pins at the higher numbered end of this section as required. The number of pins times two equals the rapid rinse time in minutes.

HOW TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF BRINE TANK REFILL TIME:

The second group of holes on the program wheel determines the lengths of time that your water softener will reﬁ ll the brine tank. Each hole represents 2 mins. and 3 pounds of salt.

To change the length of reﬁ ll time, move the two pins at the end of the second group of holes as required.

The regeneration cycle is complete when the outer micro-switch is tripped by the two pin set at end of the brine tank reﬁ ll section. The program wheel, however, will continue to rotate until the inner micro-switch drops into the notch on the program wheel.

NOTE: For salt dosages greater than 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) grid leg extensions must be attached to bottom of grid legs.

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." Set program wheel by lifting the "people" dial and rotating it so that the number of people in the household is aligned with the grains per gallon water hardness (adjusted hardness*) scale. Release the dial and check for ﬁ rm engagement at setting. (This method will provide reserve capacity of one day's supply based on 75 gallons per person.)

OPTIONAL PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE:

Calculate the gallon capacity of the system, subtract the necessary one day's reserve requirement and set the gallons available opposite the small white dot on the program wheel gear. The capacity (gallons) arrow denotes remaining gallons exclusive of ﬁ xed reserve.

HOW TO SET TIME OF DAY:

(1) Press and hold the red button in to disengage the drive gear.

(2) Turn the large gear until the actual time of day is opposite the time of day pointer.

(3) Release the red button to again engage the drive gear.

HOW TO MANUALLY REGENERATE YOUR WATER SOFTENER AT ANY TIME:

A slight, clockwise movement of the manual regeneration knob engages the program wheel and starts the regeneration process.

The black center knob will make one revolution in the following approximately three hours and stop in the position shown in the drawing.

Even though it takes three hours for this center knob to complete one revolution, the regeneration cycle of your unit might be set for only one-third of this time.

In any event, conditioned water may be drawn after rinse water stops ﬂ owing from the water softener drain line.

NOTE: The backside of the time clock is set the same as the standard time clock regenerated models.

* Adjusted hardness equals hardness in grains per gallon (gpg) plus three times the iron in parts per million (ppm).

SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE

REPLENISHMENT OF SALT SUPPLY:

The salt storage capacity of the brine tank is approximately 160 lbs (72.6 kg). During each regeneration a speciﬁ c 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.

TYPE OF SALT TO USE:

Any type of water softener salt may be used. There are advantages and disadvantages to every type of salt. Please ask your local dealer for advice. Your unit is designed to compensate for the disadvantages. 3M does not recommend the use block type salt.

BRINE TANK CLEAN-OUT:

As part of routine maintenance, the brine tank should be emptied and ﬂ ushed out with a garden hose when dirt and other insolubles accumulate. The clean-out frequency depends on the type salt used and regeneration frequency. The clean-out should be done when the salt level is low. Steps to follow:

(1) Disconnect brine line at either end.

(2) Turn brine tank upside down and discard old salt.

(3) Rinse out with a garden hose.

(4) Reconnect brine line.

(5) Add about 3 gallons of water (6 gallons for units with extended grid legs) to brine tank before adding new salt. Perform approximately once a year if rock

salt is used; with other types of salt, approximately once every other year.

PREVENTING IRON-FOULING OF MINERAL BED:

If iron is present in the water supply, the softener mineral bed will eventually become iron-fouled, resulting in reduced softening capacity and rust-stained ﬁ xtures. Mixing one to two ounces of Mineral Cleaner with every 80 lbs. of salt added to brine tank will minimize these problems from occurring. Mineral Cleaner is available from your dealer.

PERIODICALLY CHECK TIME OF DAY SETTING:

Power outages will cause Time Of Day time clock setting to become incorrect. To reset, refer to appropriate How To Set Time Clock (Or Meter) Regeneration Control page, Section 3.

MALFUNCTION OF UNIT:

Your water softener, under normal conditions, should provide years of trouble-free service; however, since it is a mechanical device, it can malfunction. (Refer to Section 5, SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS, if necessary).

CHANGE OF OPERATING CONDITIONS:

Should your family size, your water usage habits, or your water quality change, the regeneration program settings may have to be adjusted. Consult your dealer if any of the above occur.
