BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION
WHERE TO INSTALL THE SOFTENER
• Place the softener as close as possible to the
pressure tank (well system) or water meter (city
water).
• Place the softener as close as possible to a floor
drain, or other acceptable drain point (laundry
tub, sump, standpipe, etc.).
Connect the softener to the main water supply
pipe BEFORE or AHEAD OF the water heater.
DO NOT RUN HOT WATER THROUGH THE
SOFTENER. Temperature of water passing
through the softener must be less than 120°F
(49°C).
• Keep outside faucets on hard water to save soft
water and salt,
• Do not install the softener in a place where it
could freeze, Freeze damage is not covered
by the warranty.
Put the softener in a place water damage is least
likely to occur if a leak develops. The manufac-
turer will not repair or pay for water damage.
A 120 volt electric outlet, to plug the included
transformer into, is needed within 10 feet of the
softener. The softener has a 10 foot power
cable. If the outlet is remote (up to 100 ft), use
18 gauge wire to connect. Be sure the electric
outlet and transformer are protected from
wet weather.
If installing the softener 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, contamina-
tion, vandalism, etc., as when installed indoors.
• Keep the softener out of direct sunlight. The
sun's heat will melt plastic parts.
ll_ TOOLS, PIPE and FITTINGS, OTHER MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED
=In and out pipes to the softener must be at least 3/4"
size. Some local codes require a minimum of 1" pipe
size. To plumb with 1" pipes, buy adaptors to fit the
1" pipe threads on the installation adaptors or by-
pass valve (see page 6 and 7). You should maintain
the same, or larger, pipe size as the water supply
pipe, up to the softener inlet and outlet.
•Use copper, brass, or galvanized pipe and fittings.
Some codes may also allow CPVC plastic pipe.
•ALWAYS install a bypass valve or valves. Either
use the bypass valve included, or 3 shut-oft valves.
You need to buy (see pages 6, 24 and 25) the op-
tional installation adaptors if you do not use the in-
cluded bypass valve. Bypass valves let you turn off
water to the softener for repairs if needed, but still
have water in the house pipes.
•Drain hose (3/8" or 7/16" inside diameter) is need-
ed for valve and salt tank drains. A 20' length of
hose is included, if you need more, good quality,
thick-wall, flexible hose is available at most hard-
ware stores.
,If a rigid valve drain is needed, to comply with
plumbing codes, you can buy the parts needed (see
page 8) to connect a 1/2 in. copper tubing drain.
•Nugget or pellet water softener salt is needed to fill
the brine tank (see page 9 and 15).
I1_PLAN HOW YOU WILL INSTALL THE SOFTENER
You must first decide how to run in and out pipes to
the softener. Look at the house main water pipe at
the point where you will connect the softener. Is the
pipe soldered copper, glued plastic, or threaded gal-
vanized ? What is the pipe size?
Now look at the typical installation illustration on
page 6. Use it as a guide when planning your partic-
ular installation. Be sure to direct raw, hard water
to the softener valve inlet fitting. The valve is
marked IN and OUT.

INSTALLATION STEPS, continued
IMPORTANT: If you will use the grounding clamps
and wire in step 7 on page 9, put the clamps on the
copper tubes before soldering.
• When turning threaded pipe fittings onto plastic
fittings, use care not to cross-thread.
• Use pipe joint compound on all external pipe
threads.
• Support inlet and outlet plumbing in some man-
ner (use pipe hangers) to keep the weight off of the
valve fittings.
5, CONNECT AND RUN THE VALVE DRAIN
HOSE:
• Take a length of the in-
cluded hose and attach to the
valve drain fitting. So water
pressure does not blow the
hose off, use a hose clamp to
drain fitting
on valve
secure in place.
• Locate the other end of the
hose at a suitable drain
point...floor drain, sump, laundry
tub, etc. Check and comply
with local codes.

6. CONNECT AND RUN THE BRINE TANK
OVERFLOW HOSE (see figure 3):
• Attach another length of the included hose to the
drain elbow, installed in step 2, page 7. Use a hose
clamp to hold it in place.
• 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.
NOTE: This drain is for safety only. If the brine tank

to pressurize slowly.
E. After about 3 minutes, open a HOTwater fau-
cet for 1minute, or until all air is expelled, then close.
F. Close both cold water faucets.
G. Check your plumbing work for leaks and fix right
away, if any are found. BE SURE TO OBSERVE
PREVIOUS CAUTION NOTES.
H. Turn on the gas or electric supply to the water
heater. Light the pilot, if applicable.
9. ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE BRINE
TANK:
• Remove the salt storage area cover. Add about
3 gallons of water into the tank. DO NOT ADD INTO
THE BRINEWELL.
• *Fill the tank with NUGGET, PELLET or coarse
SOLAR water softener salt. Do not use rock, block,
granulated, and ice cream making salts, or salt with
iron removing additives. Also see page 15. Salt
storage capacity is 200 Ibs or more.
*Note: If the softener is installed in a humid base-
ment or other damp area, it is better to fill the tank
more often using less salt (see salt bridging in the
maintenance section). Eighty to 100 Ibs of salt will
last for several months, depending on water hard-
ness and family size.
B. Place bypass valve(s) in "bypass" position. On
a single valve, slide the stem into BYPASS. On a
3-valve system, close the inlet and outlet valves,
and open the bypass valve...see page 6.
C. Fully open the house main water pipe shutoff
valve. Observe a steady flow from both opened fau-
cets.
10. CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL POWER:
• The softener works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electric pow-
er. The included transformer changes standard 120
volt AC house power to 24 volts. Plug the trans-
former into a 120 volt outlet only. Be sure the out-
let is always "live" so it can not be switched off by
mistake.
D. Place bypass valve(s) in "service", EXACTLY
as follows. KEEP SOFT WATER FAUCETS OPEN.
1. SINGLE BYPASS VALVE: SLOWLY, slide the
valve stem toward "service", pausing several times
to allow the softener to pressurize slowly.
2. 3-VALVE BYPASS: Fully close the bypass valve
and open the outlet valve. SLOWLY, open the inlet
Fasten the 2 power cable lugs to the 2 screws on the
transformer, and tighten the screws. Then, plug the
transformer into the electrical outlet.

TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION, DO THE
SANITIZING PROCEDURES.
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water soft-
ener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the
softener will not infect or contaminate your water
supply, and will not cause bacteria to form or grow.
However, during shipping, storage, installing and
operating, bacteria could get into the softener. For
this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested(D
when installing.
1. Be sure to complete all installation steps, includ-
ing timer programming.
2. Pour about 3/4 oz of common 5.25% household
bleach (Clorox, Linco, Bo Peep, White Sail, Eagle,
etc.,) into the brinewell (figure 3, page 8).
3. Use the RECHARGE NOW feature on the timer,
to start an immediate regeneration. The bleach is
drawn into and through the water softener to sani-
tize it. This sanitizing regeneration is over in about
2 hours. Then, soft water is available for your use.
(D NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended by the water Quality
Association for disinfecting. On some water supplies, they sug-
gest periodic sanitizing.
NOTE: When the above sanitizing regeneration is over, your house COLD water supply is fully soft
immediately. However, your water heater is filled with hard water and, as hot water is used, it will
refill with soft water. When all the hard water is replaced in the water heater, hot only, and mixed hot
and cold water will be fully soft. If you want totally soft water immediately after the above regeneration,
drain the water heater until the water runs cold. If you do drain the water heater, use extreme care
as the water could cause severe burns.

WATER AND WATER CONDITIONING
WATER .......................................................................
Man's very existence depends on water. It is 1 of the
basic commodities of life. Water is best as nature
provides it, is a common misconception. Practically
all natural water needs refinement or treatment to
make it safe to drink or more satisfactory to use.
The earth's water supply cycle starts in the upper
cloud layers. As it falls to the earth as rain or snow,
it picks up impurities and gases from the atmo-
sphere. Landing on earth, it seeps over and through
the ground, dissolving earth minerals. Passing
through limestone, it dissolves calcium and magne-
sium, the hardness minerals. Iron deposits impart
iron to the water. Acidity and sediments are other
water conditions.
Municipal water supplies come from surface reser-
voirs, such as lakes and rivers, or from underground
reservoirs. Usually, municipalities chlorinate the wa-
ter to make it safe to drink. Sediment is removed by
filtration. Tastes and odors are reduced or elimi-
nated. The water is conditioned to comply with cer-
tain specifications. However, hardness minerals,
tastes and odors are not always reduced to the most
desirable levels.
Underground reservoirs provide our private water
supplies. Because the water is raw and untreated,
it can have varying amounts of hardness, iron,
tastes, odors, acidity, or combinations of these. Dif-
ferent localities and water levels affect mineral con-
tent.
WATER CONDITIONING ...................
Water conditioning is the treatment of 4 general
conditions. These are: Hardness, Iron, Acidity,
Sediments.
HARDNESS is a term to describe the presence of
calcium and magnesium minerals in water. A chemi-
cal analysis accurately measures the amount of
minerals in grain weight. For example, 1 gallon of
water with 5 grains per gallon (gpg) hardness has
dissolved minerals, that if solidified, about equals
the size of 1 ordinary aspirin tablet. One gallon of
water, 25 gpg hard, has a mineral content equal in
size to 5 aspirin tablets. Water hardness varies
greatly across the country. It generally contains from
3 to 100 gpg.
Hard water affects living in general. Hardness min-
erals combine with soap to make a soap curd. The
curd greatly reduces the cleaning action of soap.
Precipitated hardness minerals form a crust on
cooking utensils, appliances, and plumbing fixtures.
Even the tastes of foods are affected. A water soft-
ener removes the hardness minerals to eliminate
these problems, and others.
Sodium Information: Water softeners using sodium
chloride (salt) for regeneration add sodium to the
water. Persons on sodium restricted diets should
consider the added sodium as part of their overall in-
take.
IRON in water is measured in parts per million
(ppm). The total* ppm of iron, and type or types*, is
mm,=llwwlllJml,wl'w=l=t=l.wll,mwliR.wll
determined by chemical analysis. Four different
types of iron in water are: [] Ferrous (clear water),
[] Ferric (red water), [] Bacterial and organically
bound iron, [] Colloidal and inorganically bound
iron (ferrous or ferric).
'_Water may contain 1 or more of the 4 types of iron and
any combination of these. Total iron is the sum of the con-
tents.
[] Ferrous (clear water) iron is soluble and dissolves
in water. It is usually detected by taking a sample of
water in a clear bottle or glass. Immediately after tak-
ing, the sample is clear. As the water sample stands,
it gradually clouds and turns slightly yellow or brown
as air oxidizes the iron. This usually occurs in 15 to
30 minutes. A water softener will remove moderate
amounts of this type of iron (see specifications).
[] Ferric (red water), and [] Bacterial and organical-
ly bound irons are insoluble. This iron is visible im-
mediately when drawn from a faucet because it has
oxidized before reaching the home. It appears as
small cloudy yellow, orange, or reddish suspended
particles. After the water stands for a period of time,
the particles settle to the bottom of the container.
Generally these irons are removed from water by
filtration. Chlorination is also recommended for bac-
terial iron.

or ferrous form that will not filter or exchange out of

water• In some instances, treatment may improve
colloidal iron water, but always CONSULT A QUALI-
FIED WATER CHEMISTRY LAB before attempting
to treat it. Colloidal iron water usually has a yellow
appearance when drawn• After standing for several
hours, the color persists and the iron does not settle,
but remains suspended in the water.
Iron in water causes stains on clothing and plumbing
fixtures. It negatively affects the taste of food, drink-
ing water, and other beverages.
ACIDITYor acid water is caused by carbon dioxide,
hydrogen sulfide, and sometimes industrial wastes.
It is corrosive to plumbing, plumbing fixtures, water
heaters, and other water using appliances. In can
also damage and cause premature failure of seals,
diaphragms, etc., in water handling equipment•
A chemical analysis is needed to measure the de-
gree of acidity in water. This is called the pH of water.
Water testing below 6.9 pH is acidic• The lower the
pH reading, the greater the acidity. A neutralizer fil-
ter or a chemical feed pump are usually recom-
mended to treat acid water•
SEDIMENT is fine, foreign material particles sus-
pended in water. This material is most often clay or
silt. Extreme amounts of sediment may give the wa-
ter a cloudy appearance. A sediment filter normally
corrects this condition•
HOW THE WATER SOFTENER WORKS
SOFT WATER SERVICE, AND REGENERATION ...see illustrations, page 14
SERVICE
When the softener is providing soft water, it is called
"Service". During service, hard water flows from the
house main water pipe into the softener. Inside the
softener resin tank is a bed made up of thousands
of tiny, plastic resin beads. As hard water passes
through the bed, each bead attracts and holds the
hardness minerals. This is called ion-exchanging. It
is much like a magnet attracting and holding metals.
Water without the hardness minerals (soft water)
flows from the softener and to the house pipes.
•After a period of time, the resin beads hold all of the
hardness minerals they can and cleaning is needed
to remove them. This cleaning is called regenera-
tion, or recharge• The demand timer automatically
determines when regenerations occur• The solid
state timer is programmed for regeneration days•
Regeneration is started at 2:00 a.m. (factory setting)
by the softener timer, and consists of 5 stages or
cycles. These are: FILL, BRINING, BRINE RINSE,
BACKWASH, and FAST RINSE.
REGENERATION
• FILL: Salt, dissolved in water, is called brine. Brine
is needed to clean the hardness minerals from the
resin beads. To make the brine, water flows into the
salt storage area during the fill stage as shown on
page 16.
• BRINING: During brining, brine travels from the
salt storage area, into the resin tank. Brine is the
cleaning agent needed to remove the hardness min-
erals from the resin beads. The hardness minerals,
and brine are discharged to the drain•
The nozzle and venturi create a suction to move the
brine, maintaining a very slow rate to get the best
resin cleaning with the least salt.
• BRINE RINSE: After a pre-measured amount of
brine is used, the brine valve closes. Water contin-
ues to flow in the same path as during brining, ex-
cept for the discontinued brine flow. Hardness min-
erals and brine flush from the resin tank, to the drain.
• BACKWASH: During backwash, water travels up
through the resin tank at a fast flow rate, flushing ac-
cumulated iron, dirt, and sediments from the resin
bed and to the drain•
• FASTRINSE: Backwash is followed by a fast flow
of water down through the resin tank. The fast flow
flushes brine from the bottom of the tank, and packs
the resin bed.
After fast rinse, the softener returns to soft water
service.

GENERAL WATER SOFTENER MAINTENANCE
CHECKING THE SALT STORAGE LEVEL,
Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each
and every regeneration. The water for making brine
is metered into the salt storage area by the softener
valve and timer. However, you must keep the tank
full of salt.
AND REFILLING ........................
pure. NUGGET, PELLET or coarse SOLAR salts are
recommended. Do not use rock, block, granulated,
and ice cream making salts. They contain dirt and
sediments, or mush and cake, and will create main-
tenance problems.
WHEN TO REFILL WITH SALT: Check the salt level
a few weeks after you install the softener and every
week after that. Never allow the softener to use all
the salt before you refill it. Without salt, you will soon
have hard water.
Use clean water softener salts only, at least 99.5%
NOTE: WATER SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON
REMOVING ADDITIVES: Some salts have an ad-
ditive to help the softener handle iron in the water
supply. Although this additive may help to keep the
softener resin clean, it may also release corrosive
fumes that weaken and shorten the life of some
softener parts.
BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE ..........
Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the
salt storage area. It is usually caused by high humid-
ity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges,
an empty space forms between the water and sa]t.
Then salt will not dissolve inthe water to make brine.
If the brine tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if you
have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the bridge
is under it. 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. Take a broom handle, or like tool, and careful-
ly push it down intothe salt, working it up and down.
If the tool strikes a hard object (be sure it's not the
bottom or sides of the tank), it's most likely a salt
bridge. Carefully break the bridge with the tool. DO
NOT pound on the walls of the tank.

If the wrong kind of salt made the bridge, take it out.
Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only. In hu-
mid areas, it is best to fill with less salt, more often.
CLEANING IRON OUT OF THE WATER SOFTENER ...............................
Your water softener takes hardness minerals (cal-
cium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it can
control some (see specifications, page 4) "clear wa-
ter" iron. With clear water iron, water from a faucet
is clear when first put into a glass. After 15 to 30 min-
utes, the water begins to cloud or turn rust colored.
A water softener WILL NOT remove any iron that
makes the water cloudy or rusty as it comes from the
faucet (called red water iron). To take red water iron
out of water, or over the maximum of clear water
iron, an iron filter or other equipment is needed.
If your water supply has clear water iron, periodic
resin bed cleaning is needed. Clean the bed at least
every 6 months, or more often if iron appears in the
soft water between treatments. Follow directions on
the resin bed cleaner container.

WaterWorks ...... AUTOMATIC WATER CONDITIONER
GENERAL WATER SOFTENER MAINTENANCE, continued
CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND VENTURI ASSEMBLY ..............................
A clean nozzle and venturi is needed for the soft-
ener to work right. This small unit makes the suc-
tion to move brine from the salt storage area to the
resin tank during regeneration. If it becomes
plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the softener will not
work and you will get hard water.
To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the softener
top cover. Be sure the softener is in service cycle (no
water pressure at nozzle and venturi). Then, while
holding the nozzle & venturi housing with 1 hand,
turn off the cap. Lift out the screen support and
screen, then the nozzle and venturi. Wash and rinse
the parts in warm water until clean. If needed, use
a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Also check and
clean the gasket.
NOTE: Some models have a smarl flow plug located
in the nozzle and venturi, and/or a small cone
shaped screen in the housing. Be sure to check and
clean these parts, if your model is so equipped.
Carefully replace all parts in the correct order. Lubri-
cate the o-ring seal with silicone grease and place
in position. Install and tighten the cap, BY HAND
ONLY. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN AN D BREAK THE
CAP OR HOUSING.

VACATION NOTE ..................................................... ...... ......
o,o,.,,=,, ,,
This demand water softener regenerates only when water is used and softening capacity must be restored.
For this reason, the softener will not regenerate while you are away from home for extended periods.
feature: PROGRAM MEMORY ...................................................
If electrical power to the softener is interrupted, the
time display is blank, but the timer keeps correct
time for about 6 hours. When power is restored, you
have to reset the present time only if the display is
flashing. All other settings are maintained and nev-
er require resetting unless a change is desired.
If the time is flashing after a long power outage, the
softener continues to work as it should to provide
you with soft water. However, regenerations may oc-
cur at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer
to the correct time of day, page 10.
feature / service: AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS .......................
The timer computer has a self-diagnostic function
for the electrical system (except input power and
water meter). The computer monitors the electronic
components and circuits for correct operation. If a
malfunction occurs, an error code appears in the
timer display.
The following chart (page 18) shows the error codes
that could appear, and possible defects for each
code. While an error code is displayed, all timer but-
tons are inoperable except for the SELECT button.
