General Warnings And Safety Information
Electrical
• There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC adapter,
motor, or controller. In the event of a failure, these items
should be completely replaced.
• All electrical connections must be completed according to
local codes.
• Use only the power transformer supplied with this water
conditioning system.
• The power outlet must be grounded and always on.
• To disconnect power, unplug the AC adapter from its
power source.
Mechanical
• Do not use petroleum based lubricants such as Vaseline,
oils, or hydrocarbon based lubricants. Use only 100%
silicone lubricants.
• All plastic connections should be hand tightened. PTFE
tape may be used on connections that do not use an
O-ring seal. Do not use pliers or pipe wrenches.
• All plumbing must be completed according to local codes.
• Use only lead-free solder and flux, as required by
federal and state codes, when installing soldered copper
plumbing.
• The drain line must be a minimum of 1/2-inch diameter.
Use 3/4-inch pipe if the pipe length is greater than 20 feet
(6 m).
• Do not support the weight of the system on the control
valve fittings, plumbing, or the bypass.
General
• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
• 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.
• Keep the unit in the upright position. Do not turn on side,
upside down, or drop. Turning the tank upside down will
cause media to enter the valve.
• Operating water temperature is between 35°F (1°F) and
100°F (38°C).
• Operating water pressure range : 20 to 125 psi (1.38 to
8.27 bar).
• Use only salts designed for water softening. Acceptable
salt type is sodium chloride pellet salt.
• Follow state and local codes for water testing.
• When filling media tank, do not open water valve
completely. Fill tank slowly to prevent media from exiting
the tank.
• Always make modifications to house plumbing first.
Connect to valve last.
• Plastic parts and O-rings may be damaged by heat and
solvents. When constructing plumbing connections allow
heated parts to cool and protect parts from solvents.
Location Selection
Location of a water treatment system is important. The
following conditions are required:
• Level platform or floor.
• Ambient temperatures over 35°F (1°C) and below 120°F
(49°C).
• Constant electrical supply to operate the controller.
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet (three
meters) to prevent backup of hot water into system.
• Local drain or tub for discharge as close as possible.
• Water line connections with shutoff or bypass valves.
• Must meet any local and state codes for site of
installation.
• Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments. Do
not support weight of system on the plumbing.
• Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding
salt.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Things You Need to Know
• When the controller is first plugged in, it may display a
flashing hourglass and the message Err 3, this means
that the controller is rotating to the home position.
Grounding the Plumbing
It is important that the plumbing system be electrically
grounded. When a water softener is installed, a non-metallic
bypass valve may interrupt the grounding. To maintain
continuity, a grounding strap can be purchased at a hardware
store (Figure 2). When it is installed the strap will connect the
plumbing into the softener to the plumbing out of the softener.
If you have other water treating equipment such as a
chlorinator, sediment filter, neutralizer, iron filter, or taste
and odor filter they should be installed upstream of the water
softener.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS continued
WARNING:
Bypass Valve
A bypass valve system should be installed on all water
conditioning systems. Bypass valves isolate the conditioner
from the water system and allow unconditioned water to be
used. Service or routine maintenance procedures may also
require that the system is bypassed. Figures 3 and 4 show the
two common bypass methods.

3. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain
below the level of the control valve, form a 7-inch (18-cm)
loop at the far end of the line so that the bottom of the loop
is level with the drain line connection. This will provide
an adequate siphon trap. Where the drain empties into an
overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used.
Secure the end of the drain line to prevent it from moving.
INCORRECT
Construct air gap as shown or purchase air
gap device as used with clothes washers.
CORRECT
1" AIR GAP
Figure 5 Drain Line Connection
NOTE: Waste connections or drain outlets should be designed
and constructed to provide for connection to the
sanitary waste system through an air gap of two pipe
diameters or one inch (22 mm) whichever is larger.
Never insert drain line directly into a drain,
sewer line, or trap (Figure 5 Drain Line
Connection). Always allow an air gap between
the drain line and the wastewater to prevent
the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned
into the softener.
Figure 4 Manual Bypass
If this unit includes a bypass valve (Figure 3), it can be used by
itself or with a manual bypass (Figure 4).

NOTE: Standard commercial practices are expressed here.
1. The unit should be above and not more than 20 feet
2. The drain line may be elevated up to 6 feet (1.8 m) providing
Local codes may require changes to the following
suggestions. Check with local authorities before
installing a system.
(6.1 m) from the drain. Use an appropriate adapter fitting
to connect plastic tubing to the drain line connection of the
control valve.
the run does not exceed 15 feet (4.6 m) and water pressure
at the softener is not less than 40 psi (2.76 bar). Elevation
can increase by 2 feet (61 cm) for each additional 10 psi (.69
bar) of water pressure at the drain connector.
General Installation Notes
1. Place the softener tanks where you want to install the unit.
NOTE: Be sure the tanks are level and on a firm base.
2. During cold weather it is recommended that the installer
warm the valve to room temperature before operating.
3. Perform all plumbing according to local plumbing codes.
— Use a 1/2" minimum pipe size for the drain.
4. Lubricate the distributor O-ring seal and tank O-ring seal.
Place the main control valve on one tank and the tank
adapter on the second tank.
NOTE: If required, solder copper tubing for tank
interconnection before assembling on the main
control valve and tank adapter. Maintain a
minimum of 1" distance between tanks on final
assembly.
5. Solder joints near the drain must be done before connecting
the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC).Leave at least
6" (152 mm) between the DLFC and solder joints when
soldering pipes that are connected on the DLFC. Failure to
do this could cause interior damage to DLFC.
6. Use only plumber tape on the drain fitting.
7. Be sure the floor under the salt storage tank is clean and
level.
8. Place approximately 1" (25 mm) of water above the grid
plate of the salt storage tank before filling with salt. Add
salt to brine tank so that salt level is above the brine well
air check.
9. Make all electrical connections according to codes. Plug the
valve into an approved power source.
10. Tank one has control valve and tank two has adapter.
11. Look on the right side of the control valve, it has indicators
showing which position the control valve is in during
Regeneration and which tank is In Service.

WARNING:
Brine Line Connection
The brine line from the brine tube connects to the valve. Make
certain the connections are hand tightened. Be sure that the
salt line is secure and free from air leaks. Even a small leak
may cause the salt line to drain out, and the softener will not
draw salt from the tank. This may also introduce air into the
valve causing problems with valve operation.
To install the brine line:
1. Inside the salt tank, remove the cap from the large cylinder
to gain access to the connection.
2. Be sure the brass insert is in the end of the brine tubing.
Insert the tubing through the opening in the tank.
3. Push the tubing into the plastic nut. Slowly unscrew the nut
until the tubing moves into the connection. The tubing will
hit bottom.
9100TS Control Operation
Power Loss Memory Retention
The 9100TS control features battery-free Time of Day and Day
of Week retention during temporary loss of power. A super
capacitor is designed to keep time for 8 to 24 hours depending
on the installation. If the super capacitor is exhausted the
9100TS control will display four dashes (- - : - - ) immediately
upon power up. The Time of Day and Day of Week must be
reset.
All other programmed parameters are stored in the static
memory and are retained.

and valve (Figure 7).
Figure 7
Electrical Connection
This valve and control are for dry location use
only unless used with a Listed Class 2 power
supply suitable for outdoor use.
The controller operates on 24-volt alternating current power
supply. This requires use of the supplied AC adapter included
with your system.
AC Adapter
Make sure power source matches the rating printed on the AC
adapter.
NOTE: The power source should be constant. Be certain
the AC adapter is not on a switched outlet. Power
interruptions longer than 8 hours may cause the
controller to lose the time setting. When power is
restored, the time setting must then be re-entered.
