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.

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.

Page 10

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.

FIG. 21

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).

Routine Maintenance

ADDING SALT

If the water softener uses all the salt before more is added, hard water will result. The softener salt status screen has an optional display of the estimated number of days until salt is depleted (“Out of salt in X days”). The softener can also be programmed to display a Low Salt Alarm a certain number of days before salt is estimated to run out (See Page 15).

Be sure that the brinewell cover is on when adding salt.

NOTE: In humid areas it is best to keep the salt level less than half full and add salt more often.

RECOMMENDED SALT: Cube, pellet, coarse solar, etc., water softener salt is recommended. This type of salt is high purity evaporated crystals, sometimes formed and pressed into briquets. It has less than 1% insoluble (not dissolvable in water) impurities. Clean, high grade rock salts are acceptable, but may require frequent brine tank cleaning to remove the “sludge” residue (insolubles) collecting at the bottom of the tank.

POTASSIUM CHLORIDE: If you choose potassium chloride (KCl) salt as a regenerant:

1) Make sure “Salt type” on the electronic control is set

to “KCl”, as shown on Page 15.

2) Place only one bag of potassium chloride (KCl) into

your softener at a time. The salt storage tank should never contain more than 60 pounds of KCl.

BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE

Sometimes a hard crust or salt “bridge” forms in the brine tank. This is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges, an empty space forms between the water and the salt. Then salt will not dissolve in the water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed is not recharged and hard water will result.

If the storage tank is full of salt, it is difficult to tell whether there is a salt bridge. A bridge may be underneath loose salt. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge:

Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to the softener, as shown in Figure 90. Make a pencil mark on the handle 1” - 2” below the top of the rim. Then, carefully push it straight down into the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark is even with the top, it is most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the bridge in several places to break it. Do not try to break the

salt bridge by pounding on the outside of the salt tank. You may damage the tank.

Push tool into

salt bridge

to break

SALT NOT RECOMMENDED: Rock salt high in impurities, block, granulated, table, ice melting, or ice cream making salts, etc., are not recommended.

SALT WITH IRON REMOVING ADDITIVE: Some salts have an additive to help a water softener handle iron in the water supply. Although this may help keep the resin bed clean, it may also release corrosive fumes that will weaken and shorten the life of some water softener electronic parts. Iron Out salt is safe to use on two-tank models.

Routine Maintenance

CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VENTURI

A clean nozzle & venturi (See Figure 91) is a necessity for the water softener to work properly. This small component creates the suction to aspirate (bring air into) the mineral tank during recharges. If it should become plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the water softener will not work, and hard water will result.

To get access to the nozzle & venturi, remove the water softener’s top cover. Put the bypass valve(s) into the bypass position. Be sure the water softener’s main valve is in “service” position (no water pressure at nozzle & venturi). Then, holding the nozzle & venturi housing with one hand, unscrew the cap. Do not lose the o-ring seal. Lift out the screen support and screen. Then, remove the nozzle & venturi disc, gasket and flow plug. Wash the parts in warm, soapy water and rinse in fresh water. Be sure to clean both the top and bottom of the nozzle & venturi disc. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Do not scratch, misshape, etc., surfaces of the nozzle & venturi.

Gently replace all parts in the correct order. Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease and locate in place. Install and tighten the cap by hand, while supporting the housing. Overtightening may break the cap or housing. Put the bypass valve(s) into “service” position.

Recharge the softener to reduce water level in the tank. This will also assure that the softener is completely recharged and ready to provide softened water again. Check the water level in the tank by looking down the brinewell. If the water level does not drop after a recharge, the problem has not been resolved.

RESIN BED CLEANING

If the water supply contains clear water iron, regular resin bed cleaning is needed to keep the bed from coating with iron. Use resin bed cleaner, available from your dealer, following directions on the container. Clean the resin every six months, or more often if iron appears in the conditioned water supply.

TROUBLESHOOTING - INITIAL CHECKS

Always make these initial checks first:

1. Is display blank? Check power source.

2. Is Error code displayed? If so, go to “Automatic

Electronic Diagnostics” on the next page.

3. Is correct time displayed? If not, recharges occur at the wrong time. Set current time (See Page 16.)

4. Is there salt in the brine tank? If not, refill.

5. Is salt “bridged” (See Page 26)?

6. Are plumbing bypass valve(s) in service position?

7. Are inlet and outlet pipes connected to the water sof-

tener inlet and outlet respectively?

8. Is valve drain hose free of kinks and sharp bends, and not elevated over 8 feet above the floor.

9. Is the brine tube connected?

10. Check the hardness setting (See “Setting Hardness

on Page 17). Be sure it is correct for the household's water supply. Perform a hardness test on a raw water sample to compare with the setting.

11. Perform a hardness test on a softened water sample to determine whether a problem exists.

If no problem is found after making the initial checks, proceed to “Troubleshooting - Manual Diagnostics” and “Manual Advance Recharge Check” on the next two pages.

LIMITED WARRANTY

IDP30/40/50 Series Water Softener

Warrantor: Ecodyne Water Systems, 1890 Woodlane Drive, Woodbury, MN 55125

arrantor guarantees to the original owner that:

for the LIFETIME of the original owner, the RESIN TANK will not rust, corrode, leak, burst, or in any other manner fail to perform its proper functions and that,

for a period of TEN (10) YEARS after installation, the SALT TANK will be free of defects in materials and workmanship and will perform its proper function and that,

for a period of THREE (3) YEARS after installation, the VALVE BODY, ELECTRONIC FACEPLATE and ALL OTHER PARTS will be free of defects in materials and workmanship and will perform their normal functions.

If, during the respective warranty period, a part proves, after inspection by Warrantor, to be defective, Warrantor will, at its sole option repair or replace that part at no charge, other than normal shipping, installation or service charges.

General Provisions

The above warranties are effective provided the water softener is operated at water pressures not exceeding 125 psi, and at water temperatures not exceeding 100°F; provided further that the water softener is not subject to abuse, misuse, alteration, neglect, freezing, accident or negligence; and provided further that the water softener is not damaged as the result of any unusual force of nature such as, but not limited to, flood, hurricane, tornado or earthquake. Warrantor is excused if failure to perform its warranty obligations is the result of strikes, government regulation, materials shortages, or other circumstances beyond its control.

To obtain warranty service, notice must be given, within thirty (30) days of the discovery of the defect, to your local dealer or representative.

THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES ON THE WATER SOFTENER BEYOND THOSE SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT THEY MIGHT EXTEND BEYOND THE ABOVE PERIODS. THE SOLE OBLIGATION OF WARRANTOR UNDER THESE WARRANTIES IS TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE COMPONENT OR PART WHICH PROVES TO BE DEFECTIVE WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TIME PERIOD, AND WARRANTOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. NO DEALER, AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE, OR OTHER PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO EXTEND OR EXPAND THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY DESCRIBED ABOVE.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damage, so the limitations and exclusions in this warranty may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.
