Preface:

Thank you for your purchase of a new Water Softener with Fleck 9100SXT Meter from
QualityWaterForLess.com! We have put together these instructions as reference, and to
be used as general installation guidelines. It is always recommended that a licensed
plumber perform all installation work according to all local codes. We at
QualityWaterForLess.com cannot assume responsibility for improper installation,
application, injury, or damage as a result of improper installation.

Pre-Installation Guidelines:

Before assembly of your new system, be sure that the following conditions have been met
for placement of your system:

• Level, firm surface, such as concrete, on which to place the softener tank and salt

tank (as known as a ‘brine’ tank)

• Nearby floor drain or standpipe to connect to the softener for use during each

regeneration

• Un-switched power source, standard US plug, 120v 60hz (the softener system

includes a 5ft. power cord and plug)

• Access to the water main coming into your home. You will need to install the

softener at this point to assure that water for the home is going through the
system.

Placing and Filling the Tank:

• Choose the final location for your water softener tank, and place the tank upright

and level on the surface.

• Filling the tank may be necessary on some systems. Your tanks may have also

come prefilled, and in this case you only need to unscrew the protective cap as

shown below in Figure 1 and move on to the next section.

• If your tank is not filled, please follow the additional instructions below.

• First, place the riser tube into the tank as shown in Figure 2. NOTE: Please be

sure that the riser tube seats into the bottom of the tank, and that the top of
the riser tube is FLUSH with the top of the tank lip.

• Before filling the tank, place a piece of duct tape over the top of the riser to

prevent resin from dropping down inside the riser tube as shown in Figure 3.

• Place the included filling funnel over the top the tank as shown in Figure 4, and

prepare to fill the tank. Since the 9100SXT is a twin system, please be sure to fill
½ of the included resin for each tank. If your softener system came with

Gravel, please pour this amount into the tank FIRST, then pour in the
included resin media afterwards. Please note that you must split the amount of

supplied resin and gravel EQUALLY for EACH tank shipped!

• Remove the filling funnel and duct tape and repeat for the second tank. After

the second tank is filled, go on to the next section

Installing the Fleck 9100SXT Meter Control Valve:

• Using the included silicone lubricant packet, lubricate the inner and outer o-

rings on the bottom of the Fleck 9100SXT Meter Valve as shown in Figures 5
& 6 below. Please repeat this for the main valve, and the secondary portion, as
shown below.

• Next, place the Fleck 9100SXT Meter Valve and secondary portion onto the

top of each tank, being sure that the riser tube fits into the central o-ring on
each, as shown in figures 7 & 8 below. Hand tighten each to the tank snugly
by hand only. NOTE: Do not use Teflon tape or pipe dope on the valve or

tank threads.

Plumbing your Fleck 9100SXT Meter:

• Before beginning your installation, please first familiarize yourself with the “IN”

and “OUT” on the Fleck 9100SXT Meter Valve. In order to prevent damage to

your home and to the softener system, install the softener according to the
“IN” and “OUT” arrows on the softener valve!

• Find the main shut-off valve for your house and turn it to the “OFF” position. If

you have a private well, this valve should be near your well pressure tank. If you
have a city water supply, your valve should be near your water meter.
