UNPACKING

Models IDP30S, IDP40S and IDP40CC are shipped from the factory in one carton. The carton also includes a bag of small parts needed to assemble and install the unit.

Model IDP50CC is shipped from the factory in two cartons. One contains the resin tank/controller assembly, plus a bag of small parts needed to assemble and install the unit. The other carton contains the assembled brine tank.

Thoroughly check the water softener for possible shipping damage and parts loss. Also inspect and note any damage to the shipping carton.

Remove and discard (or recycle) all packing materials. To avoid loss of small parts, we suggest you keep the small parts in the parts bag until you are ready to use them.

SAFETY GUIDES

Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the water filtration system properly voids the

warranty.

Before you begin installation, read this entire manual. Then, obtain all the materials and tools you will need to make the installation.

Check local plumbing and electrical codes. The installation must conform to them.

Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-solder connections, as required by state and federal codes.

Use care when handling the water filtration system. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp protrusions.

Do not locate the water filtration system where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat water over 120°F. Freezing, or hot water damage voids the

warranty.

Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to non-metallic parts.

The water filtration system requires a minimum water pressure of 30 psi at the inlet. Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow).

The water filtration system works on 24V DC electrical power, supplied by a direct plug-in power supply (included). Be sure to use the included power supply, and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 Hz household outlet that is in a dry location only, grounded and properly protected by an overcurrent device such as circuit breaker or fuse.

This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all

electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of according to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive or similar laws are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your state and local laws for proper disposal of the equipment.

Specifications

These models are efficiency rated. The efficiency rating is valid only at the minimum salt dose and the service flow rate. The softeners have a demand initiated regeneration (D.I.R) feature that complies with specific performance

pecifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation.

hese softeners have a rated softener efficiency of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound

T of salt (based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver more salt than their listed rating or be operated at a sus-

ained maximum service flow rate greater than their listed rating. These softeners have been proven to deliver soft

t water for at least ten continuous minutes at the rated service flow rate. The rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory tests described in NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the rated efficiency, due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce a softener's capacity.

While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance of the system may vary based on local water conditions.

FIG. 1

Before Starting Installation

WHERE TO INSTALL THE SOFTENER

= To soften all water in the home, install the water

softener close to the water supply inlet, upstream of all other plumbing connections, except outside water pipes. Outside faucets should remain on hard water to conserve salt and softening capacity.

= Place the softener near a floor drain, or other

acceptable drain point (laundry tub, sump, standpipe, etc.) to carry away regeneration discharge water.

= Connect the softener to the main water supply

pipe UPSTREAM OF the water heater. DO NOT RUN HOT WATER THROUGH THE SOFTENER. The temperature of water passing through the softener must be less than 120°F.

= Do not install the softener in a place where it could

freeze. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

= Put the softener in a place water damage is least

likely to occur if a leak develops. The manufacturer will not repair or pay for water damage.

= A 120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet, to plug the included

power supply into, is needed near the softener. Be sure the electrical outlet and power supply are in an inside location, to protect from wet weather.

= If installing in an outside location, you must take

the steps necessary to assure the softener, installation plumbing, wiring, etc., are as well protected from the elements, contamination, vandalism, etc., as when installed indoors.

= Keep the softener out of direct sunlight. The sun's

heat may soften and distort plastic parts.

TOOLS, PIPE & FITTINGS, OTHER MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED

= ALWAYS install a single bypass valve, or a 3-valve

bypass system. Bypass valves let you turn off water to the softener for repairs if needed, but still have water available to the house pipes.

= Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the

softener, which allow water flow equivalent to 1 inch nominal pipe. To maintain maximum valve flow, 1” pipes to and from the softener fittings are recommend ed. Do not reduce the pipes to less than 3/4” size.

= Use copper, brass or PEX plastic pipe and fittings. = Drain hose, 1/2” inside diameter minimum, is needed

for the valve drain.

= If a rigid valve drain is needed, to comply with

plumbing codes, you can buy the parts needed to connect a 1/2” minimum copper tubing drain.

NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts plumbing code 248-CMR shall be adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for this installation.

3. COMPLETE PLUMBING TO AND FROM THE SOFTENER

Using the “Typical Installation Illustration” on page 6 as a guide, observe all of the following cautions while you connect inlet and outlet plumbing:

= Be sure incoming, hard water is directed to the

valve INLET port.

= Be sure to install bypass valve(s).

= If making a soldered copper installation, do all

sweat soldering before connecting pipes to the softener fittings. Torch heat will damage plastic parts.

= Use pipe joint compound on all external pipe

threads.

= When turning threaded pipe fittings onto plastic fit-

tings, use care not to cross-thread.

= Support inlet and outlet plumbing in some manner

(use pipe hangers) to keep the weight off of the valve fittings.

4. COLD WATER PIPE GROUNDING

The house cold water pipe (metal only) is often used as a ground for the house electrical system. The 3valve bypass type of installation, shown in Figure 4, will maintain ground continuity. If you use the plastic bypass, continuity is broken. To restore the ground, do either step 4a or 4b following.

a. Use the ground clamp kit (not included) to make a jumper across the inlet and outlet pipes (See Figure

9).

b. Install a #4 copper wire across the removed section of main water pipe, securely clamping at both ends – parts not included.

5. INSTALL VALVE DRAIN HOSE

a. Take a length of 1/2” inside diameter hose and

attach to the valve drain fitting, securing it with a hose clamp (See Figure 4 on page 6).

b. Locate the other end of the hose at a suitable drain

point (floor drain, sump, laundry tub, etc.). Check and comply with local codes. Refer to Figure 4 if codes require a rigid pipe drain run.

IMPORTANT: Use high quality, thick wall hose that

will not easily kink or collapse. The softener will not backwash properly if water cannot exit this hose during recharges.

c. Tie or wire the hose in place at the drain point.

Water pressure will cause it to whip during the backwash portion of the recharge cycle. Also provide an air gap of at least 1-1/2” between the end of the hose and the drain point. An air gap prevents possible siphoning of sewer water, into the softener, if the sewer should back up.

d. If raising the drain hose overhead is required to get

to the drain point, do not raise higher than 8 feet above the floor. Elevating the hose may cause a back pressure that could reduce backwash flow and proper resin bed cleaning.

6. BRINE TANK ASSEMBLY

Complete the following steps for Models IDP30S, IDP40S and IDP40CC. For Model IDP50CC, shipped with an assembled brine tank, proceed to Step 7.

a. Place the brinewell into position in the brine tank, with the slots at the bottom, as shown in Figure 10. Align the mounting hole in the brinewell with the corresponding hole in the tank wall. Then use the screw and nut from the parts bag to fasten the brinewell in place.

b. Lower the brine valve into the brinewell. Push the tubing into the brinewell top slot (Fig. 10) and route it out of the brine tank through the smaller hole in the rear wall of the brine tank.

c. Install the brinewell cover.

7. INSTALL BRINE TANK OVERFLOW HOSE

This drain is for safety only. If the brine tank should over-fill with water, the excess is carried to the drain.

a. Take the rubber grommet and hose adaptor elbow

from the parts bag. Push grommet into the corresponding hole in the back wall of the brine tank. Then insert the larger diameter end of the elbow through the grommet.

b. Attach a length of 1/2” inside diameter hose to the

drain elbow, installed in the previous step. Use a hose clamp to hold it in place.

c. Locate the other end of the hose at the drain point.

Do not elevate this hose higher than the elbow on the brine tank. Do not tee this hose to the valve drain hose.

8. CONNECT BRINE TUBING

a. Route the brine tube out of the brine tank through

the smaller hole in the tank back wall.

b. Connect the brine tube to the nozzle/venturi

assembly using the ferrule nut provided (See Figure 11).

g. Make sure the softener’s bypass valve is in the

bypass position.

h. Plug in the power supply.

i. Program the electronic controller: Follow the

steps on Page 11 to program the electronic controller with basic operating information, such as time and water hardness. After completing these steps, continue with “j. Start a recharge”, below.

j. Start a recharge: From the rolling status screens,

press the SELECT (¡) button to display the Main menu. Make sure Recharge is highlighted, then

press SELECT (¡). Press DOWN (6) to scroll to Recharge now, then press SELECT (¡) twice. You should hear the valve motor run as the softener begins recharging.

k. Once the unit is in backwash, place bypass

valve(s) into the service position, as follows:

(1) SINGLE BYPASS VALVE: Slowly move the valve stem toward service position, pausing several times to allow the unit to pressurize slowly.

(2) 3-VALVE BYPASS: Fully close the bypass valve and open the outlet valve. Slowly open the inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the unit to pressurize slowly.

l. Let the softener complete the backwash and fast

rinse cycles (takes 10-12 minutes). When the recharge cycle ends, the softener valve returns to the service position.

9. PRESSURE TESTING FOR LEAKS, PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER & RINSING THE MEDIA

To prevent excessive air pressure in the water softener and plumbing system, do the following steps EXACTLY in order:

a. Fully open two or more softened cold water

faucets nearby the water softener.

b. Place the bypass valve(s) in bypass position (See

Figures 2 & 4).

c. Fully open the main water supply valve. Watch

until the flow from the opened faucets becomes steady, with no spurting or air bubbles.

d. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet

for one minute, or until all air is expelled.

e. Close all faucets and check your plumbing work for

leaks.

f. Make sure the softener’s valve drain hose is

hooked up and the open end directed to a floor drain, laundry tub or other suitable type of drain.

10. ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE BRINE TANK

a. Using a pail or garden hose, add about 3 gallons of

water into the brine tank. DO NOT pour into the brinewell.

b. Add salt to the brine tank. It is recommended to fill

the brine tank no more than 1/2 full. Level the salt when finished adding. You can use most water softener salts, but it must be clean. Recommended nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts have less than 1% impurities.

NOTE: See page 26 for additional information on salt.

Installation & Sanitizing

11. SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER

Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. However, during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the unit. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested* when installing.

a. Remove the brinewell cover and pour about 1-1/2

oz. (2 to 3 tablespoons) of common household bleach into the softener’s brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover.

b. Make sure the bypass valve is in the service posi-

tion.

c. Start a recharge: From the rolling status screens,

press the SELECT (¡) button to display the Main menu. Make sure Recharge is highlighted, then

press SELECT (¡). Press DOWN (6) to scroll to Recharge now, then press SELECT (¡) twice. You should hear the valve motor run as the softener begins recharging. This recharge draws the sanitizing bleach into and through the softener. Any air remaining in the unit is purged to the drain.

d. After the recharge has completed, fully open a cold

water faucet, downstream from the softener, and allow 50 gallons of water to pass through the system. This should take at least 20 minutes. Close the faucet.

12. RESTART THE WATER HEATER

Turn on the electric or fuel supply to the water heater, and light the pilot, if applies.

NOTE: The water heater is filled with hard water and, as hot water is used, it refills with softened water. In a few days, the hot water will be fully conditioned. To have fully conditioned hot water immediately, wait until the recharge (Step 11) is complete, then drain the water heater until water runs cold.

*NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended by the Water Quality

Association for disinfecting. On some water supplies, they suggest periodic sanitizing.

FLASHING DISPLAY

The softener’s display will flash on and off when one or more of the following conditions occurs:

=Salt needs to be added =Time needs to be set (Time has been lost) =Service is overdue (Service reminder) =Error condition

The flashing will stop after any key is pressed. However, it will start again at Midnight if the underlying condition (e.g. low salt level) has not been addressed.

LONG DISPLAY SCREEN MESSAGES

Most messages in the softener’s display screens are short enough to be shown as a single line. Longer messages will be truncated (See Figure 21 for an example) until you highlight them.

One second after being highlighted, the viewing box expands (See Figure 22) to show the entire message. After three seconds the view resets (Figure 21).
