The Reactr ™ requires no chemicals for its operation. It consists of two components: (1) Reactr ™ Tank and (2) Filter Tank. The Reactr Tank serves to oxidize and percitate iron and sulfur so that they can later be removed by the filter. The water flows down through the mineral bed of the filter and out of the service lines. The collected percipitates must be regularly removed from the filter by reversing the flow of water through the filter and running to the drain. Called “Backwashing” and lasting 10 minutes, the process expands the mineral, freeing the iron, sulfur and turbidity, which is then washed out of the filter to the drain. It is important that the correct amount of water is available for the backwash cycle. Check pump capacity to be certain water is available in sufficient volume to adequately backwash the equipment at a specified rate.

Note:

• If household plumbing is galvanized and you intend to make the installation with copper (or vice versa), obtain di-electric unions to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.

Caution:

• If sweat soldering copper pipe (remember to always use lead free solder and flux), cover yoke and bypass valve with wet rags to prevent heat damage to connections and control valve. If using PVC or plastic pipe, primers and solvent cements specifically recommended for use with potable water are required.

Installation

Installation Procedure

- Water Supply Connection and Bypass Valve -

To allow for filter servicing, swimming pool filling or lawn sprinkling, a manual Bypass Valve has been installed at the factory. The Bypass allows raw water to be manually routed around the filter.

1. Position filter at desired location for installation. If a water softener is to be installed, the filter should be positioned first and then the softener.

2. The filter material is shipped separately from the mineral tank. The tank must be loaded with material after tank has been placed at the desired location. A. Remove the control valve by unscrewing from the tank. (Do not fill through dome hole, if installed.) B. Use cap provided to place over top of distributor tube to prevent material from entering tube while filling. C. Place media funnel (part # U-1006) in hole on top of tank. D. Pour several gallons of water in the tank. (Fill tank about 1/3 full.) E. Pour in the required filter media. No gravel is required. The required quantity of media is listed in the filter specifications.

Note: If rebedding an existing unit and the system utilizes a standard tube & basket style distributor, a “D” gravel underbedding will be required.

F. After filling the tank with material, use a garden hose or several buckets to fill the tank with water.

This will permit the filtering media to become soaked while preparing the installation and will prevent the control valve from being plugged with floating material on initial backwash.

G. Remove funnel and clean filter media from tank threads. H. Remove cap from distributor tube. I. Replace control valve on mineral tank. Do not use Teflon tape or paste on valve threads, as the valve to tank o-ring seals this joint.

Caution: Be extremely careful to position distributor tube into control valve distributor tube pilot hole.

Installation

3. Turn OFF main water supply and OPEN nearest faucet to relieve pressure.

4. Cut main line and install appropriate elbows and extensions. Inlet and outlet connections on the control valve are 3/4" FNPT. (1" FNPT for RF30 and RF40.)

Caution: Raised arrows located on the sides of control valve body and bypass valve indicate proper direction of water flow. Install inlet and outlet piping in direction of arrows.

1. Pull out clip and remove drain line assembly located on the left side of control valve. Remove drain line hose barb and wrap threads with Teflon tape. Reinstall drain line hose barb. Caution: Hand tighten only! Replace drain line assembly and reinstall clip.

2. Install 1/2” I.D. drain line tubing (not included) from hose barb to an open drain. A 4” gap between end of the drain line and the open drain is required to prevent waste water backflow. Keep the drain line as short as possible. An overhead drain line can be used if necessary, but should discharge below the control valve. A syphon trap (taped loop) at the outlet of the drain line is advisable to keep the drain line full and assure correct flow during backwash. Elbows or other fittings must be kept at a bare minimum.

Note: Where the drain line is elevated above the control valve or exceeds 20 feet in length, 3/4” I.D. drain line tubing should be used.

- Drain Line Connection -

- Electrical Connection -

1. Connect the power supply to the control valve and plug into a 115 volt / 60 Hz receptacle. Note: Do not plug into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull chain that could inadvertently be turned off.

- Pressurizing The System -

2. Slowly rotate handle of the bypass valve to the SERVICE position.

3. Open the nearest faucet to evacuate air from plumbing lines.

4. Check for leaks! If water is observed leaking from bypass, o-rings on valve body may not be seated properly.

5. After air is evacuated from plumbing lines, turn off faucet.

- Initial Control Valve Operation -

1. Advance control valve to BACKWASH (cycle 1) position and allow water to run to drain for 3 to 4 minutes.

Warning: Close handle on bypass prior to selecting the backwash position. After backwash position has been established, slightly open valve on bypass to evacuate air from the media tank. Fully open bypass valve when all air is depleted. This procedure will prevent media form being uplifted into control valve.

2. Advance control valve to RAPID RINSE (cycle 3) position and allow water to run to drain for 3 to 4 minutes.

3. Advance control valve to SERVICE (cycle 0) position.

Control Start-Up Procedures

Normal Operation

1. Home Display a. Alternates between the display of Time of Day and Number of Days until the Next Backwash. (Metered Softeners will alternate between time of days and gallons remaining until next regeneration)

- Days Remaining until the Next Backwash will count down from the entered value until it reaches 1 day remaining.

- A Backwash Cycle will then be initiated at the next designated regeneration time.

2. Battery Back-Up (Uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.)

Features of Battery Back-Up:

• During power failures, the battery will maintain the time of day as long as the battery has power. The display is turned off to conserve battery power during this time. To confirm that the battery is working, press either button and the display will turn on for five (5) seconds.

• If power failure occurs while system is regenerating, the Signature 2 will motor to a shut off position to prevent constant flow to drain. Depending upon system pressure and other factors, it is possible to observe a reduced flow to drain during this step. After power is restored, the Signature 2 will return and finish the cycle where it left off prior to the power interruption.

• When used without battery back-up, during a power failure, the unit stops at its current point in the regeneration position and then restarts at that point when the power is restored. The time will be offset by the increment of time the unit was without power, so it is necessary to reset the time of day on the unit. No other system will be affected.

Starting Extra Regeneration Cycle

1. To Start Delayed Extra Cycle Example ( 1 ) If Days Remaining Until Next Backwash does not read ‘1’, press and hold the Set/Change button for 3 seconds until the display reads ‘1’.

- Backwash cycle will initiate at the next designated backwash time.

2. To start Immediate Extra Cycle First complete above step.

- With Days Remaining Until Next Regeneration at ‘1’.

- Press and hold the Set/Change button.

- After 3 seconds, the backwash cycle will begin.

3. To Fast Cycle thru regeneration First complete above 2 steps. Note: Press and hold the Set/Change button for 3 seconds to advance to the next cycle step. Fast Cycle is not necessary unless desired to manually step through each cycle step. (Repeat until valve returns to the home display)

To take advantage of the Bluetooth interface this feature must be set up on a compatible Bluetooth enabled smart phones or tablets.

Note: Valves with a revision number greater or equal to “C2.00” are only compatible with Bluetooth 4.0+ (a.k.a. Bluetooth LE) Smartphones and tablets. If you have an Android or Apple device with a compatible Bluetooth radio it can be used to connect to the valve. Valves with a revision number less than “C2.00” are only compatible with Android devices and these valves use a Bluetooth 2.0 radio. In the rest of this section valves with a revision number greater or equal to “C2.00” will be referred to as BTLE, valves with a revision number less than “C2.00” will be referred to as BT.

(The firmware revision of the valve can be viewed on the valve display for 2 seconds after the valve is powered up.)

Unfortunately due to changing Bluetooth and Tablet / Phone manufacturing standards, not all tablets and smart phones are compatible with all valve versions. In general, the below table should guide you in compatibility.

BT Legacy View Valve BTLE Legacy View Valve

Android Device with BT 4.0+ Yes Yes

Android Device with older BT Yes No

Apple Device with BT 4.0+ No Yes

Utilizing Bluetooth Control

1. Download and install the Legacy View app from the Google Play Store, Apple App Store or www.ChandlerSystemsInc.com

2. If your valve revision is a BTLE valve you can skip this step. Otherwise, if it is a BT valve the following steps must be followed to pair your smart phone or tablet to the control valve.

• Open the settings menu on your smart phone or tablet and click on Bluetooth.

• Look for the softener or filter valve you want to connect to under the list of available Bluetooth devices.

• Select the device and pair (Default password is: 1234)

3. Open the Legacy View app

• Choose a valve device at any time from the list of available devices to connect to by clicking on it.

• If the valve you want to connect to doesn’t show up, or there is a problem connecting to a device you can press the “Scan for Devices” button or the Legacy View logo at any time to refresh the list and start the process over.

• If the valve device is a BTLE valve and it has a password other than the default password, the first time you connect to it the app will ask you to enter the password. After entering it the first time you should not need to enter it again unless it changes.

4. BTLE Valve devices can be updated by the App. When the app is updated from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, it may contain an updated firmware program for the valve devices. These updates could contain new features or operational improvements. It is up to the user to allow these updates to be sent to the valve device. Uploading a new program takes approximately 1 minute.
