Introduction

This manual is about a control valve to be used on water softeners or water ﬁ lters. The manual is designed to aid water treatment equipment manufacturers in the selection of the various control valve options. Information in this manual is different than what is needed for installation and servicing of a particular water treatment system. This manual is not intended to be used as a manual for a complete water softener or ﬁ lter. Certain parts of the manual will serve as aids to manufacturers in the writing and layout of the manuals for installers and service personnel.

General Warnings (Must appear in OEM’s manual)

The following general warnings and the speciﬁ cations in Table 1 must appear in the OEM’s System Manual.

The control valve, ﬁ ttings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on clear lip seals.

The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic wrench. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place a screwdriver in the slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.

Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Use teﬂ on tape on threaded inlet, outlet and drain ﬁ ttings. Teﬂ on tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.

After completing any valve maintenance involving the drive assembly or the drive cap assembly and pistons, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack from the printed circuit board (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should ﬂ ash all wording, ﬂ ash the software version (e.g. 405), 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 ½”. Backwash ﬂ ow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require a ¾” drain line.

Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line ﬂ ow control ﬁ tting. Leave at least 6” between the drain line control ﬁ tting and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the drain line control ﬁ tting. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the drain line ﬂ ow control ﬁ tting.

When assembling the installation ﬁ tting package (inlet and outlet), connect the ﬁ tting to the plumbing system ﬁ rst and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may 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 getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve.

Plug into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes. (Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.)

Install grounding strap on metal pipes.

Control Valve Function and Cycles of Operation

This glass ﬁ lled Noryl1 (or equivalent) fully automatic control valve is designed as the primary control center to direct and regulate all cycles of a water softener or ﬁ lter. When the WS1CS control valve is manufactured as a softener, the control valve can be ordered to perform downﬂ ow or upﬂ ow regeneration. The WS1.25CS control valve is only available in downﬂ ow regeneration. When the WS1CS or WS1.25CS control valve is set up as a ﬁ lter, the control valve can be set to perform downﬂ ow regeneration or simply backwash. The control valve can be set to regenerate on demand (consumption of a predetermined amount of water) and/or as a time clock (passage of a particular number of days). The control valve can be set so that a softener can meet the Water Quality As so ci a tion (WQA) Standard S100 or NSF/ANSI Standard 44 efﬁ ciency rating.

It is not recommended to change control valves from downﬂ ow to upﬂ ow brining or vice versa in the ﬁ eld. The valve bodies for downﬂ ow and upﬂ ow are unique to the regeneration type and and should not be interchanged. A mismatch of valve body and regeneration piston will result in hard water bypass during service.

The control valve is compatible with a variety of regenerants and resin cleaners. The control valve is capable of routing the ﬂ ow of water in the necessary paths to regenerate or backwash water treatment systems. The injector regulates the ﬂ ow of brine or other regenerants. The control valve regulates the ﬂ ow rates for backwashing, rinsing, and the replenishing of treated water into a regenerant tank, when applicable.

The control valve uses no traditional fasteners (e.g. screws); instead clips, threaded caps and nuts and snap type latches are used. Caps and nuts only need to be ﬁ rmly hand tightened because radial seals are used. Tools required to service the valve include one small blade screw driver, one large blade screw driver, pliers and a pair of hands. A plastic wrench is available which eliminates the need for screwdrivers and pliers. Disassembly for servicing takes much less time than com pa ra ble products currently on the market. Control valve in stal la tion is made easy because the distributor tube can be cut ½” above to ½” below the top of tank thread. The distributor tube is held in place by an o-ring seal and the control valve also has a bayonet lock feature for upper distributor baskets.

The AC adapter power pack comes with a 15 foot power cord and is designed for use with the control valve. The AC adapter power pack is for dry location use only. The control valve remembers all settings for up to 8 hours if the power goes out and the battery is not depleted. After 8 hours, the only item that needs to be reset is the time of day; other values are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory. If a power loss lasts less than 8 hours and the time ﬂ ashes on and off, the time of day should be reset and the non rechargeable battery should be replaced.

Table 3 shows the order of the cycles when the valve is set up as a softener. The OEM has the option of having the regenerant reﬁ ll after the rinse cycle or have the regenerant preﬁ ll before regeneration. If the OEM chooses to have the regenerant preﬁ ll before regeneration, the preﬁ ll starts two hours before the regeneration time set. During the 2-hour period in which the brine is being made, treated (softened) water is still available. For example: regeneration time = 2:00 am, preﬁ ll option selected, downﬂ ow softener. Fill occurs at 12:00 a.m., start of backwash cycle occurs at 2:00 a.m. Tables 4 and 5 show the length of the cycles when different program codes are selected.

Table 6 shows the order of the cycles when the valve is set up as a ﬁ lter. If the control valve is set to regenerate for a ﬁ lter, the OEM has the option of having the regenerant reﬁ ll after the rinse cycle or have the regenerant preﬁ ll before regeneration. If the OEM chooses to have the regenerant preﬁ ll before regeneration, the preﬁ ll starts two hours before the regeneration time set. During the 2-hour period in which the regenerant is being made, treated water is still available. For example: regeneration time = 2:00 am, preﬁ ll option selected, downﬂ ow ﬁ lter. Fill occurs at 12:00 a.m., start of backwash cycle occurs at 2:00 a.m. Tables 7 and 8 show the length of the cycles when the valve is set up as a ﬁ lter.

When the control valve is used as a nonregenerating ﬁ lter, the OEM has the option to specify one backwash or two backwashes. If two backwashes are speciﬁ ed, two rinses occur. Tables 7 and 8 show the length of the cycles when the valve is set up as a ﬁ lter. When used as a non- regenerating ﬁ lter, the downﬂ ow piston must be installed, the regenerant piston removed, injector plugs must be installed in both the DN and UP injector locations and the reﬁ ll elbow must be replaced with a reﬁ ll port plug.

The control valve with a water meter can be set for Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) only, Time Clock operation only or DIR and Time Clock which ever comes ﬁ rst, depending upon what settings are selected for Day Override and Gallon Capacity.2 See Table 9.

If a control valve does not contain a meter, the valve can only act as a time clock, and day override should be set to any number and gallon capacity should be set to off.

For DIR Softeners, there are two options for setting the Gallons Capacity. The Gallons Capacity is automatically calculated if set to AUTO. Reserve Capacity is automatically estimated based on water usage if AUTO is used. The other option is to set the Gallons Capacity to a speciﬁ c number. If a speciﬁ c number is set, reserve capacity is zero, unless the value is manually set (i.e. the manufacturer intentionally sets the gallon capacity number below the calculated capacity of the system).

The control valve can also be set to regenerate immediately or at the next regeneration time by changing the Regeneration Time Option. There are three choices for settings:

1. “NORMAL” means regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time.

2. “on 0” means regeneration will occur when the gallons capacity reaches zero.

3. “NORMAL” and “on 0” means the regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time unless the gallons capacity reaches zero. If the gallons capacity reaches zero the regeneration will begin 10 minutes after no water usage.

The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user has the option to request the manual regeneration at the delayed regeneration time or to have the regeneration occur immediately:

1. Pressing and releasing the REGEN button. “Regen Today” will ﬂ ash on the display and the regeneration will occur at the delayed regeneration time. The user can cancel the request by pressing and releasing the REGEN button. This method of manually initiating regeneration is not allowed when the system is set to “on 0,” i.e. immediately regenerate when the gallon capacity reaches zero.

2. Pressing and holding the REGEN button for approximately 3 seconds will immediately start the regeneration. The user cannot cancel this request, except by resetting the control by pressing NEXT and REGEN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

The control valve consists of the following components:

1. Drive Assembly

2. Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston

3. Spacer Stack Assembly

4. Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector

5. Reﬁ ll Flow Control Assembly or Reﬁ ll Port Plug

6. Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly

7. Water Meter or Meter Plug

8. Mixing Valve (optional)

9. Installation Fitting Assemblies

10. Bypass Valve (optional)

Note: The WS1CS and WS1.25CS share many of the same components. Refer to Figure 6 for control valve identiﬁ cation.

See Installer Display Settings Step 3I, OEM Softener Setup Step 7S and OEM Filter Setup Step 6F for explanations of Day

Override and Gallon Capacity.

Day Override and Gallon Capacity can not both be set to “oFF” at the same time.

Page 10 WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual

Drive Assembly

The drive assembly consists of the following parts:

• Drive Bracket

• Printed Circuit (PC) Board

• Motor

• Drive Gears

• Drive Gear Cover

The drive bracket holds the PC board, the motor, the drive gears and the drive gear cover in place.

The PC board receives and retains information, displays the information, determines when to regenerate and initiates regeneration. The display shows different types of information in the initial system set up (for softeners or ﬁ lters), installer display settings, diagnostics, valve history or user display settings. For a complete list of information see Table 14.

The PC board powers the motor. The PC board’s two-prong jack connects wires to the direct current (DC) motor. The motor is held in place on the drive bracket by a spring-loaded clip and a small bulge in the plastic, which ﬁ ts in one of the slots on the motor housing. The motor turns drive gears that drive the piston to cycle positions for backwashing, regeneration, rinsing, reﬁ ll or service. The motor is fully reversible (turns both ways) and changes direction of rotation to change the direction of piston motion. The motor is easily replaced if necessary.

There are three drive gears held in place by the drive gear cover. All three drive gears are the same size. A reﬂ ective coating is applied to the gears. As the center drive gear turns a light shines on the coating and a light sensing diode determines if a light pulse was returned. The PC board counts the pulses and determines when to stop driving the motor.

Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston

The drive gears turn the main gear of the drive cap assembly, which moves the piston. The screw-driven, horizontally moving piston stops at speciﬁ c positions to direct the ﬂ ow of water to backwash, regenerate, rinse or reﬁ ll. The PC board determines the position of the piston by counting pulses produced when the piston is moved. An optical sensor looking at one of the reduction drive gears generates these pulses. Each cycle position is deﬁ ned by a number of pulses. The counter is zeroed each time the valve goes to the service position. The PC board ﬁ nds the service position by noting the increase in current delivered to the motor when the mechanical stop at the service position is reached. This method of controlling piston position allows for greater ﬂ exibility and requires no switches or cams (U.S. Patent 6444127).

One of three main pistons is always used:

1. A 1.25" diameter downﬂ ow piston is used when the WS1CS control valve is used as a downﬂ ow softener, regenerating ﬁ lter or non-regenerating ﬁ lter.

2. A 1.25" diameter upﬂ ow piston is used when the WS1CS control valve is used as an upﬂ ow softener.

3. A 1.5" diameter downﬂ ow piston is used when the WS1.25CS control valve is used as a downﬂ ow softener, regenerating ﬁ lter or non-regenerating ﬁ lter. An upﬂ ow piston is not available for the WS1.25CS control valve.

If the control valve is used as a softener or a regenerating ﬁ lter, a regenerant piston must be attached to the main piston. If the control valve is to be used on a system that does not require a regenerant to be added, the regenerant piston must be removed.

Spacer Stack Assembly

The spacer stack assembly provides the necessary ﬂ ow passage for water during the different cycles. The all-plastic spacer stack assembly (U.S. Patent 6402944) is a one-piece design which allows the stack to be removed using your ﬁ ngers.

The exterior of the stack is sealed against the body bore with self lubricating EPDM o-rings, while the interior surface is sealed against the piston using slippery self cleaning directional (one-way) silicone lip seals. The lip seals are clear in color and have a special slippery coating so that the piston does not need to be lubricated.

WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Page 11

Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector

The screen, injector and/or injector plug(s) are installed under the injector cap in an easy to access location on top of the valve. The injector cap contains four slots so no water accumulates in the cap. The injector cap is designed to be hand tightened.

Under the injector cap there is an easy to clean removable screen to prevent fouling of the injector. There are two holes under the injector cap labeled “DN” and “UP”. The holes will be ﬁ lled with a plug or an injector.

The plug (Order # V3010-1Z) prevents water from traveling a certain pathway. The injector lets water pass through the pathway. The self-priming injector increases the velocity of the water, creating a zone of negative pressure that draws in the concentrated liquid regenerant, such as sodium chloride (brine), potassium permanganate, etc. The regenerant blends with the stream of water, which passes through the media to regenerate the bed.

The injector provides a consistent regenerant/water mixture ratio over the entire operating pressure range of the control valve. The injector provides good performance in a variety of applications, which may involve elevated drain lines and long regenerant draw lengths. Injectors are chosen by knowing the type, amount, and regenerant ﬂ ow rate for a particular type of media. Guidelines can be found in the media manufacturer’s literature. The color coded injectors give different regenerant draw, slow rinse and total ﬂ ow rates over the pressure range. See Table 10 for color codings, and injector graphs for total, slow rinse and draw ﬂ ow rates.

• regeneration downﬂ ow WS1CS & WS1.25CS (for softeners or regenerating ﬁ lters install injector in DN location, plug in UP location)

• regeneration upﬂ ow WS1CS only (upﬂ ow option is for softeners only, install injector in UP location, plug in other hole location)

• no regeneration WS1CS & WS1.25CS (both the DN and UP holes have injector plugs installed) and plug installed for the reﬁ ll elbow.

NOTE: It is not recommended to ﬁ eld convert valves from upﬂ ow to downﬂ ow and vice versa. Separate areas in the valve supply water to the injector for upﬂ ow and downﬂ ow valves.

The reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control assembly consists of a reﬁ ll ﬂ ow elbow, reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control retainer assembly, reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control, polytube insert and nut assembly. The reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control retainer ﬁ ts in the reﬁ ll elbow. The reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control retainer houses the reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control which controls the ﬂ ow rate when the regenerant tank is being reﬁ lled. The reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control is a ﬂ exible washer-like part with a small oriﬁ ce and a precision molded contour that delivers a steady 0.5 gpm regenerant tank reﬁ ll rate at varying inlet pressures. Reﬁ ll is accomplished with treated water.

Actual tank size used may vary depending on the design and application of the system. Tank diameter is an approximation for the

following:

1. downﬂ ow softener using standard mesh synthetic cation exchange media regenerating with sodium chloride.

2. upﬂ ow softener using standard mesh synthetic cation exchange media regenerating with sodium chloride, an inlet water pressure

of 30 to 50 psi and water temperature of 60°F water or warmer. Higher pressures or lower temperatures would need smaller injectors to avoid lifting the bed.

Reﬁ ll Flow Control Assembly or Reﬁ ll Port Plug

Page 12 WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual

The reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control assembly is installed in an easy to access reﬁ ll elbow located on top of the control valve. The reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control assembly is attached to the control valve with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the elbow to rotate 270 degrees so the outlet can be orientated towards the regenerant tank.

The control valve has a standard reﬁ ll elbow to which a 3/8” ﬂ exible tube can be connected. An optional elbow can be ordered which accommodates a ½” ﬂ exible tube for a high regenerant draw rate situation (G injectors and larger). Both elbows use the same reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control and retainer.

If the control valve is to be used as a non-regenerant ﬁ lter control valve, the reﬁ ll elbow is removed and replaced with a reﬁ ll port plug.

Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly

The drain line ﬂ ow control assembly includes a drain line ﬂ ow control and a ﬁ tting. The drain line ﬂ ow control allows proper media bed expansion by regulating the ﬂ ow rate to the drain. The drain line ﬂ ow control is a ﬂ exible washer-like part with an oriﬁ ce and a

precision molded contour. The ﬂ ow rates are within information.

The drain line ﬂ ow control and ﬁ tting are located on top of the control valve and replaceable without the use of special tools. The drain line ﬂ ow control can be installed in the standard ¾” drain line elbow, which accommodates 5/8” polytube or ¾” NPT drain

line connections. The optional nut and polytube insert for the ¾” drain line elbow is designed for use with ﬂ exible polytube only. The ¾” 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 ﬂ ow controls for the ¾” ﬁ tting. Drain line ﬂ ow controls designed for the 3/4” ﬁ tting are available for ﬂ ow rates ranging from 0.7 to 10 gpm.

An optional 1” straight drain line ﬁ tting is available to accommodate drain line ﬂ ow rates ranging from 9 to 25 gpm. This ﬁ tting is straight but still connects to the control valve using the same locking clip. The drain line ﬂ ow control is located between two ﬁ tted parts (i.e. the ﬁ tting acts as the retainer). The nut is unscrewed to access the drain line ﬂ ow control.

WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Page 13

Water Meter or Meter Plug

The water meter is installed on the outlet side of the control valve. The water meter uses a turbine to measure gallons of treated water. The turbine rotates with the ﬂ ow of water and reports its rate of rotation through Hall effect5 circuitry to the printed circuit (PC) board. This rotation permits the PC board to record the total volume of treated water and the ﬂ ow rate. The small centrally located magnet is shielded from water, which substantially reduces iron-fouling problems with the turbine.

THIS WATER METER SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THE PRIMARY MONITORING DEVICE FOR CRITICAL HEALTH EFFECT APPLICATIONS.

The turbine is accurate to within ± 5% over a wide operating ﬂ ow rate range (0.25 gpm up to control valve maximums) and has a very low pressure drop. Water used for regeneration is not metered. If the control valve is set to preﬁ ll the regenerant, water used between the preﬁ ll cycle up to the start of the regeneration cycle is metered. If the control valve is in regeneration mode (e.g. a backwash cycle) and there is a water demand, that water usage is not metered.

When facing the front of the control valve, the water meter is positioned on the left-hand side of the control valve. Allow sufﬁ cient clearance to clean and repair the water meter without disconnecting the plumbing or disassembling any other parts of the control valve.

Control valves can be ordered with a meter plug (i.e. no electronics or turbine) rather than a water meter if desired. Control valves without meters should only be set up for time clock operation (i.e. no water meter, no demand-initiated regeneration). Control valves with water meters provide a wider variety of useful information (see OEM General Instructions for list of information).

A unique feature of this control valve is the ability to display actual water usage for the last 63 days. The values are initially stored as “----”. This means the value is unknown. As days pass values are stored as “0” for no ﬂ ow or the actual number of gallons. The counting of the gallons starts at the regeneration time. If no regeneration time can be set (i.e. when the valve is set for immediate regeneration) the counting of gallons starts at 12 a.m. Day 1 is yesterday, day 2 the day before yesterday, etc. As new values are added the oldest history disappears.

Another unique feature is that the valve automatically calculates a reserve capacity when set up as a softener with “Gallons Capacity” set to “AUTO” and the “Regeneration Time Option” set to “Normal” or “Normal + on 0”. The actual reserve capacity is compared to the gallons capacity remaining immediately prior to the preset regeneration time. A regeneration will occur if the actual reserve capacity is less than the gallons capacity remaining. The actual reserve capacity is calculated by using the estimated reserve capacity and adjusting it up or down for actual usage.

The estimated reserve capacity for a given day of the week is the maximum value stored for the last three non-trivial water usages (i.e. more than 20 gallons/day) in seven day intervals.

Mixing V alve

The mixing valve is installed on the outlet side of the control valve. The mixing valve is used to blend raw water with treated water.

To adjust the blended water, close the mixing valve. Open a water faucet to the desired ﬂ ow rate. Open the mixing valve until the desired hardness is reached. Close the faucet.

Installation Fitting Assemblies

The installation ﬁ ttings are used to connect the optional bypass or the control valve to the plumbing system. These are the installation ﬁ tting assemblies available:

• 1” NPT PVC elbow ﬁ tting assembly

• ¾” & 1” PVC solvent weld elbow ﬁ tting assembly

• ¾” or 1” straight brass sweat ﬁ tting assemblies

• 1” or 1 ¼” plastic male NPT ﬁ tting assemblies

• 1” or 1 ¼” plastic male BSPT ﬁ tting assemblies

• 1¼” & 1½” brass sweat ﬁ tting assembly

• 1¼” & 1½” PVC solvent ﬁ tting assembly

• ¾” or 1” PEX ﬁ tting assemblies

The installation ﬁ tting assemblies are sold in pairs and consist of two ﬁ ttings, two nuts, two split rings and two o-rings. The installation ﬁ tting assemblies and the bypass valve are sold separately from the control valve.

Both elbow ﬁ ttings have a unique drill out feature to allow a ¼” NPT connection to the inlet and/or outlet which can be used for a RO feed, test ports, pressure tap ports, etc.

Some semiconductor materials exhibit a phenomenon in the presence of a magnetic ﬁ eld that is adaptable to sensing devices. When a current is passed through one pair of wires attached to a semiconductor, another pair of wires properly attached and oriented with respect to the semiconductor will develop a voltage proportional to the magnetic ﬁ eld present and the current in the other pair of wires. Holding the exciting current constant and moving a permanent magnet near the semiconductor produces a voltage output proportional to the movement of the magnet. Hall effect devices provide a high speed response, excellent temperature stability, and no physical contact.

Has not been tested for compliance with California Proposition 65, so this ﬁ tting should not be installed in California.

Page 14 WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual

Bypass Valve

The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The WS1 bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment industry due to its versatility and state of the art design features. The 1” full ﬂ ow bypass valve incorporates four positions, including a diagnostic position that allows service personal to work on a pressurized system while still providing untreated bypass water to the facility or residence. Its completely non-metallic, all-plastic design allows for easy access and serviceability without the need for tools.

The bypass body and rotors are glass ﬁ lled Noryl self-lubricating EPDM to help prevent valve seizing after long periods of non-use. Internal o-rings can easily be replaced if service is required.

The bypass consists of two interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently by red arrow-shaped handles. The handles identify the ﬂ ow direction of the water. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate in four positions.

1. Normal Operation Position: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of ﬂ ow indicated by the engraved arrows

on the control valve. Water ﬂ ows through the control valve during normal operation and this position also allows the control valve to isolate the media bed during the regeneration cycle. (See Figure 1)

2. Bypass Position: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass, the control valve is isolated from the water

pressure contained in the plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the plumbing system. (See Figure 2)

3. Diagnostic Position: The inlet handle points in the direction of ﬂ ow and the outlet handle points to the center of bypass

valve, system water pressure is allowed to the control valve and the plumbing system while not allowing water to exit from the control valve to the plumbing. (See Figure 3)

4. Shut Off Position: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet handle points in the direction of

ﬂ ow, the water is shut off to the plumbing system . If water is available on the outlet side of the softener it is an indication of water bypass around the system (i.e. a plumbing connection somewhere in the building bypasses the system). (See Figure 4)

OEM General Instructions

The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modiﬁ ed to suit the needs of the installation. These procedures are:

• OEM Softener Setup

• OEM Filter Setup

• Installer Displays & Settings

• User Displays & Settings

• Diagnostics

• Valve History

These procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided on the following pages. Table 14 lists all information that may be displayed, where to ﬁ nd additional instructions about the information or instructions on how to access or change the information.

At the discretion of the manufacturer, the ﬁ eld technician can access all settings. To “lock out” access to diagnostic and valve history displays and modiﬁ cations to settings except hardness, day override, time of regeneration and time of day by anyone but the manufacturer, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence after settings are made. To “unlock”, so other displays can be viewed and changes can be made, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence.

When in operation normal user displays such as time of day, gallons remaining or days remaining before regeneration are shown. When stepping through a procedure, if no buttons are pressed within ﬁ ve minutes the display returns to a normal user display. Any changes made prior to the ﬁ ve minute time out are incorporated. The one exception is current ﬂ ow rate display under the diagnostic procedure. The current ﬂ ow rate display has a 30 minute time out feature.

To quickly exit OEM Softener Setup, OEM Filter Setup, Installer Display Settings, Diagnostic or Valve History press SET CLOCK. Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.

When desired (e.g. when the valve is installed in a new location) certain information on the valve can be reset to zero. Table 14 identiﬁ es which information can be reset. To reset to zero, press NEXT and ▼ buttons simultaneously to go to the Service/

OEM 1 screen, and release. Press ▲ and ▼ simultaneously to reset diagnostic values to zero. Screen will return to User Display.

Sometimes it is desirable to have the valve initiate and complete two regenerations within 24 hours and then return to the preset regeneration procedure. It is possible to do a double regeneration if the control valve is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0” in Step 8S or Step 7F. To do a double regeneration:

1. Press the “REGEN” button once. REGEN TODAY will ﬂ ash on the display.

2. Press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds until the valve regeneration initiates.

Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset regeneration time.

General Operation

When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second display is one of the following: days remaining or gallons remaining. Days remaining is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity remaining is the number of gallons that will be treated before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. The user can scroll between the displays as desired.

If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will appear on the display.

When water is being treated (i.e. water is ﬂ owing through the system) the word “Softening” or “Filtering” ﬂ ashes on the display if a water meter is installed.

REGEN TODAY will show if a regeneration is expected “Tonight.”

WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Page 23

Regeneration Mode Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low water usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be used.

When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed.

Manual Regeneration Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.

To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, when the regeneration time option is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0”, press and release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY” will ﬂ ash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button again will cancel the request. Note: If the regeneration time option is set to “on 0” there is no set delayed regeneration time so “REGEN TODAY” will not activate if “REGEN” button is pressed.

REGEN TODAY will Flash if a regeneration is expected “Tonight.”

To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled.

Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, ﬁ ll with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.

STEP 1U

Set Time of Day The user can also set the time of day. Time of day should only need to be set after power outages lasting more than 8 hours, if the battery has been depleted and a power outage

STEP 2U

occurs, or when daylight saving time begins or ends. If a power outage lasting more than 8 hours occurs, the time of day will ﬂ ash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset. If a power outage lasts less than 8 hours and the time of day ﬂ ashes on and off, the time of day should be reset and the battery replaced.

STEP 1U – Press SET CLOCK.

STEP 2U - Current Time (hour): Set the hour of the day using ▼ or ▲ buttons. AM/PM

toggles after 12. Press NEXT to go to step 3U.

STEP 3U - Current Time (minutes): Set the minutes of the day using ▼ or ▲ buttons. Press NEXT to exit Set Clock. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Power Loss If the power goes out, the system will keep time for up to 8 hours or until the battery is depleted. If a power outage of more than 8 hours occurs, the time of day will ﬂ ash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset. The system will remember the rest. If a power outage lasts less than 8 hours and the time of day ﬂ ashes on and off, the non rechargeable battery should be replaced.

Error Message If the word “ERROR” and a number are alternately ﬂ ashing on the display contact the OEM for help. This indicates that the valve was not able to function properly.

Installation

Reﬁ ll Flow Control Assembly or Reﬁ ll Port Plug

Control valves that are setup for backwash only come equipped with a reﬁ ll port plug. The reﬁ ll port plug has no regenerant line connection.

Control valves that use a regenerant come equipped with a 3/8” reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control assembly. To switch to the ½” reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control assembly, remove the reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control and retainer (from the 3/8” reﬁ ll elbow) by twisting and pulling out. Insert the reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control and retainer into the ½” reﬁ ll elbow.

To complete the regenerant line connection, orientate the outlet in the desired direction and push the plastic insert into the polytube. Push the polytube into the nut. Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. The threads for the compression nut do not need Teﬂ on tape. Tighten the nut securely to create a pressure tight connection. A pliers or crescent wrench may be used to tighten or unscrew the nut. The nut, gripper and retainer sleeve is a 3 piece assembly that can come apart if removed from the elbow body. Parts must be reassembled exactly as shown in reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control assembly drawing to function properly. If the nut is completely removed from the body, slip the nut, plastic gripper and retainer sleeve on to the tube then tighten on to the ﬁ tting.

Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly

To determine which drain line ﬂ ow control to use, obtain media bed expansion tables from the media manufacturer, choose a water temperature and look up the desired backwash rate per square foot of bed area. Then calculate the backwash rate using the desired tank diameter. Using Table 11, choose the drain line ﬂ ow control that has the backwash ﬂ ow rate closest to the calculated backwash rate. If a manufacturer chooses to use an external drain line ﬂ ow control, use an elbow ﬁ tting that does not contain a hole.

If the drain line is a 5/8” ﬂ exible polytube, slide the nut onto the polytube, then place the polytube insert into the end of the polytube and tighten the nut on to the ¾” drain line ﬁ tting. The nut is only designed for use with ﬂ exible polytube. Use other nuts if attaching different materials.

To access the drain line ﬂ ow control remove the locking clip by pulling it straight out. Pull ﬁ tting out and replace the locking clip so that it is not misplaced. The drain line ﬁ tting is pressed in and has an o-ring seal.

In the ¾” elbow, the white ﬂ ow control retainer is pressed in and has an o-ring seal. The retainer can be removed by rotating and pulling. The ﬂ ow control can be removed by prying upward with a small blade ﬂ at screwdriver in one of the slots on the side. The drain line ﬂ ow control and retainer can be chemically cleaned in dilute sodium bisulﬁ te or vinegar, or replaced. Do not use a wire brush to clean the

ﬂ ow control or the washer. The washers are identiﬁ ed with three numbers, which correspond to the ﬂ ow rate. When reinstalling make sure the identifying number and the rounded inside diameter on the washer is visible when seated in the retainer. The white ﬂ ow control washer retainer can also be removed and cleaned. Push the retainer in ﬁ rmly when reinstalling.

In the 1” straight ﬁ tting, the retainer is the ﬁ tting. Unscrew the nut to access the ﬂ ow control. The drain line ﬂ ow control and the ﬁ tting can be chemically cleaned or replaced. Do not use a wire brush to clean the ﬂ ow control or the ﬁ tting.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the black o-ring. Use a pliers or crescent wrench to tighten or unscrew the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nut. Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Use Teﬂ on tape on the threads of the drain line control ﬁ tting when installing ¾” NPT or 1” straight ﬁ tting.

WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Page 29

Installation Fitting Assemblies

The installation ﬁ ttings connect to the control valve or the bypass valve using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tighten nut connections between control valve and installation ﬁ ttings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation ﬁ ttings allow for easy serviceability. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts on installation ﬁ ttings. Hand tighten only.

The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area, reducing the chance for leakage. The split ring design incorporated into the installation ﬁ ttings allows approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the plumbing system. The installation ﬁ ttings are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

When assembling the installation ﬁ tting package, connect the ﬁ tting to the plumbing system ﬁ rst and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may 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 getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve. Solvent cements and primers should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Slip the nut onto the ﬁ tting ﬁ rst, then the split ring second and the o-ring last. Hand tighten the nut. If the ﬁ tting is leaking tightening the nut will not stop the leak. Remove the nut, remove the ﬁ tting, and check for damage or misalignment of the o-ring.

Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Use Teﬂ on tape on threaded inlet, outlet and drain ﬁ ttings. Teﬂ on tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.

Bypass Valve

The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve body using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tightened nut connections between control valve and ﬁ ttings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation ﬁ ttings allow for easy serviceability. The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area, reducing the chance for leakage. The split ring design incorporated into the bypass allows approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the plumbing system. The bypass is designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but is not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

Avoid getting primer and solvent cements on any part of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control valve. Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Teﬂ on tape is not necessary on the caps because of o-ring seals.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.

Mixing Valve

The mixing valve is an option on the control valve. If the control valve is ordered with a mixing valve it will be installed in the control valve assembly process.

To adjust the blended water, close the mixing valve. Open a water faucet to the desired ﬂ ow rate. Open the mixing valve until the desired hardness is reached. Close the faucet.

Note: The use of the mixing valve requires modiﬁ cation to the valve body. These modiﬁ cations should not be done in the ﬁ eld.

Service Instructions

Drive Assembly

Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly.

Disconnect the power source plug (black wire) from the PC board prior to disconnecting the motor or water meter plugs from the PC board. The power source plug connects to the four-pin jack. The motor plug connects to the two-pin jack on the left-hand side of the PC board. The water meter plug (gray wire) connects to the three-pin jack on the far right-hand side of the PC board.

The PC board can be removed separately from the drive bracket but it is not recommended. Do not attempt to remove the display panel from the PC board. Handle the board by the edges. To remove the PC board from the drive bracket, unplug the power, water meter and motor plugs from the PC board. Lift the middle latch along the top of the drive bracket while pulling outward on the top of the PC board. The drive bracket has two plastic pins that ﬁ t into the holes on the lower edge of the PC board. Once the PC board is tilted about 45° from the drive bracket it can be lifted off of these pins. To reinstall the PC board, position the lower edge of the PC board so that the holes in the PC board line up with the plastic pins. Push the top of the PC board towards the valve until it snaps under the middle latch, weave the power and water meter wires into the holders and reconnect the motor, water meter and power plugs.

The drive bracket must be removed to access the drive cap assembly and pistons or the drive gear cover. It is not necessary to remove the PC board from the drive bracket to remove the drive bracket. To remove the drive bracket start by removing the plugs for the power source and the water meter. Unweave the wires from the side holders. Two tabs on the top of the drive back plate hold the drive bracket in place. Simultaneously lift the two tabs and gently ease the top of the drive bracket forward. The lower edge of the drive bracket has two notches that rest on the drive back plate. Lift up and outward on the drive bracket to disengage the notches.

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 toward 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. Maintain a slight engaging force on top of the drive bracket while deﬂ ecting the bracket slightly to the left by pressing on the side of the upper right corner. This helps the drive gears mesh with the drive cap assembly. The drive bracket is properly seated when it snaps under the latches on the drive back plate. If resistance is felt before latching, then notches are not fully engaged, the piston rod is not in hole, the wires are jammed between the drive bracket and drive back plate, or the gear is not engaging the drive cap assembly.

To inspect the drive gears, the drive gear cover needs to be removed. Before trying to remove the gear cover, the drive bracket must be removed from the drive back plate. (Refer to the instructions above regarding removing the drive bracket from the drive back plate. The drive gear cover can be removed from the drive bracket without removing the motor or the PC board.) The drive gear cover is held in place on the drive bracket by three clips. The largest of the three clips is always orientated to the bottom of the drive bracket. With the PC board facing up, push in and down on the large clip on the drive gear cover. Handle the cover and the gears carefully so that the gears do not fall off of the pegs in the cover.

Replace broken or damaged drive gears. Do not lubricate any of the gears. Avoid getting any foreign matter on the reﬂ ective coating because dirt or oils may interfere with pulse counting.

The drive gear cover only ﬁ ts on one way, with the large clip orientated towards the bottom. If all three clips are outside of the gear shroud on the drive bracket, the drive gear cover slips easily into place.

The drive bracket does not need to be removed from the drive plate if the motor needs to be removed. To remove the motor, disconnect the power and motor plugs from the jacks on the PC board. Move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Rotate the motor at least a ¼ turn in either direction so the wires are vertical (up & down) 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.

WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Page 47

Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. To reinstall the motor, move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Gently turn the motor while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover. Release the spring clip loop and continue to rotate the motor until the wires are horizontal and the motor housing engages the small plastic bulge inside the drive bracket motor retainer. Reconnect the motor plug to the two-pronged jack on the lower left hand side of the PC board. If the motor will not easily engage with the drive gear when reinstalling, lift and slightly rotate the motor before reinserting. Reconnect the power plug.

Replace the valve cover. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should ﬂ ash all wording, then ﬂ ash the software version (e.g. 405) and then reset the valve to the service position.

Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston

The drive assembly must be removed to access the drive cap assembly. The drive cap assembly must be removed to access the piston(s). The drive cap assembly is threaded into the control valve body and seals with an o-ring. To remove the drive cap assembly use the special plastic wrench or insert a ¼” to ½” ﬂ at blade screwdriver into one of the slots around the top 2” of the drive cap assembly so it engages the notches molded into the drive back plate around the top 2” of the piston cavity. See Figure 5. The notches are visible through the holes. Lever the screwdriver so the drive cap assembly turns counter clockwise. Once loosened, unscrew the drive cap assembly by hand and pull straight out.

Figure 5

The drive cap assembly contains the drive cap, the main drive gear, drive cap spline, piston rod and various other parts that should not be dissembled in the ﬁ eld. The only replaceable part on the drive cap assembly is the o-ring. Attached to the drive cap assembly is the main piston (downﬂ ow or upﬂ ow) and if a regenerant is used, a regenerant piston.

Page 48 WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual

The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by pressing sideways and unsnapping it from its latch. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulﬁ te or vinegar, or replace the regenerant piston if needed. To remove the main downﬂ ow or upﬂ ow piston fully extend the piston rod and then unsnap the main piston from its latch by pressing on the side with the number. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulﬁ te or 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. Lubricant will adversely affect the clear lip seals. Reinsert the drive cap assembly and piston into the spacer stack assembly and hand tighten the drive cap assembly. Continue to tighten the drive cap assembly using a screwdriver as a ratchet until the black o-ring on the spacer stack assembly is no longer visible through the drain port. Excessive force can break the notches molded into the drive back plate. Make certain that the main drive gear still turns freely. The exact position of the piston is not important as long as the main drive gear turns freely.

Reattach the drive assembly to the control valve and connect all plugs. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should ﬂ ash all wording, then ﬂ ash the software version (e.g. 405) and then reset the valve to the service position.

Note: Refer to Figure 6 to identify the main piston.

Spacer Stack Assembly (Refer to Figure 6 for WS1CS and WS1.25CS spacer stack identiﬁ cation)

To access the spacer stack assembly remove the drive assembly, drive cap assembly and piston. The spacer stack assembly can be removed easily without tools by using thumb and foreﬁ nger. Inspect the black o-rings and clear lip seals for wear or damage. Replace the entire stack if necessary. Do not disassemble the WS1CS or WS1.25CS stack.

The spacer stack assembly may be chemically cleaned (dilute sodium bisulﬁ te or vinegar) or wiped with a soft cloth.

The spacer stack assembly can be pushed in to the control valve body bore by hand. Since the spacer stack assembly can be compressed it is easier to use a blunt object (5/8” to 1-1/8” in diameter) to push the center of the assembly into the control valve body. The assembly is properly seated when at least four threads are exposed (approximately 5/8”). Do not force the spacer stack assembly in. The control valve body bore interior can be lubricated with silicone to allow for easy insertion of the entire stack. Do not use silicone or any other type of lubricant on the clear lip seals or the piston.

Reattach the drive cap assembly and piston(s) and the drive assembly.

After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should ﬂ ash all wording, then ﬂ ash the software version (e.g. 405) and then reset the valve to the service position.

Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector

Unscrew the injector cap and lift off. Loosen cap with special plastic wrench or pliers if necessary. Attached to the injector cap is a screen. Remove the screen and clean if fouled.

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 bisulﬁ te. The holes can be blown out with air. Both pieces have small diameter holes that control the ﬂ ow rates of water to insure that the proper concentration of regenerant is used. Sharp objects, which can score the plastic, should not be used to clean the injector. Scoring the injector or increasing the diameter of the hole could change the operating parameters of the injector. Push the plug(s) and/or injectors ﬁ rmly in place, replace the screen and hand tighten the injector cap.

To clean or replace the reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control, pull out the elbow-locking clip and then pull straight up on the elbow. Replace the elbow locking clip in the slot so that it is not misplaced. Twist to remove the white ﬂ ow control retainer. The ﬂ ow control can be removed by prying upward through the side slots of the retainer with a small ﬂ at blade screwdriver.

Chemically clean the ﬂ ow control or the white ﬂ ow control retainer using dilute sodium bisulﬁ te or vinegar. Do not use a wire brush. If necessary, replace the ﬂ ow control, o-ring on the ﬂ ow control retainer, or the o-ring on the elbow.

Reseat the ﬂ ow control so the rounded end is visible in the ﬂ ow control. Reseat the white ﬂ ow control retainer by pushing the retainer into the elbow until the o-ring seats. Remove locking clip, push down on elbow to reseat and insert locking clip.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the o-ring on the elbow or the white retainer.

Water Meter or Meter Plug

The water meter assembly is connected to the PC board by a wire. If the entire water meter assembly is to be replaced, remove the control valve cover and disconnect the power source and water meter plugs from the PC board. Unlatch the drive assembly and lean it forward. Unthread the water meter wire from the side of the drive assembly and through the drive back plate. To reinstall, rethread the water meter wire through the drive back plate and the side of the drive assembly. Reattach the drive assembly and the water meter and power plugs.

THIS WATER METER SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THE PRIMARY MONITORING DEVICE FOR CRITICAL HEALTH EFFECT APPLICATIONS.

If no water meter wire is visible, then a plug is installed, not a water meter.

The water meter wire does not need to be removed from the PC board if the water meter is only being inspected and cleaned. To remove the water meter assembly, unscrew the meter cap on the left side of the control valve. Pliers may be used to unscrew the nut if necessary.

With the nut removed, a slot at the top of the water meter is visible. Twist a ﬂ at blade screwdriver in the slot between the control

Page 50 WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual

valve body and the meter. When the meter is part way out it is easy to remove the water meter from the housing. Once the water meter is removed from the control valve body, gently pull forward on the turbine to remove it from the shaft. Do not use a wire brush to clean the turbine. Wipe with a clean cloth or chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulﬁ te or vinegar. The turbine can be immersed in the chemical. Do not immerse electronics. If the turbine is scored or damaged or the bearings on the turbine are worn, replace the turbine.

Do not lubricate the turbine shaft. The turbine shaft bearings are prelubricated. Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on the o-ring. A silicone lubricant may be used on the black o-ring.

Snap the turbine on the shaft and reinsert the water meter into the side slot. Hand tighten the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nut.

Mixing Valve

To clean or replace the mixing valve, unthread the mixing valve from the valve body. Chemically clean the mixing valve with a dilute sodium bisulﬁ te or vinegar solution. Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the o-ring. Before replacing the mixing valve in the valve body turn the knob clockwise so that the mixing valve is in the open position. Failure to do this may cause damage to the mixing valve when it is screwed in to the valve body.

To adjust the blended water, close the mixing valve. Open a water faucet to the desired ﬂ ow rate. Open the mixing valve until the desired hardness is reached. Close the faucet.

Bypass Valve

The working parts of the bypass valve are the rotor assemblies that are contained under the bypass valve caps. Before working on the rotors, make sure the system is depressurized. Turn the red arrow shaped handles towards the center of the bypass valve and back several times to ensure rotor is turning freely.

The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer. To access the rotor, unscrew the cap and lift the cap, rotor and handle out as one unit. Twisting the unit as you pull it out will help to remove it more easily. There are three o-rings: one under the rotor cap, one on the rotor stem and the rotor seal. Replace worn o-rings. Clean rotor. Reinstall rotor.

When reinstalling the red arrow handles be sure that:

1. The handle pointers are lined up with the control valve body arrows and the rotor seal o-ring and retainer on both rotors face to the right when being viewed from the front of the control valve; or

2. Arrows point toward each other in the bypass position.

Since the handles can be pulled off, they could be accidentally reinstalled 180° from their correct orientation. To install the red arrow handles correctly, keep the handles pointed in the same direction as the arrows engraved on the control valve body while tightening the bypass valve caps.
