These water softener systems have been tested by WQA and conform to NSF/ANSI 44 for specic performance claims as veried and substantiated by test data. The rated salt eciencies above were also determined in accordance with NSF/ANSI 44 and are only valid at the salt dosage referenced above. An eciency rated water softener is a demand initiated regeneration (DIR) softener which also complies with specic performance specications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its operation. Eciency rated water softeners shall have a rated salt eciency of not less that 3350 grains of total hardness exchanged per pound of salt (based on NaCl equivalency) (477 grams of total hardness exchanged per kilogram of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating. The rated eciency of the water softener, the salt dosage at that eciency, the capacity at that salt dosage and that of the eciency is only valid at the stated salt dosage. Eciency is measured by a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum possible eciency the system can achieve. Operational eciency is the actual eciency achieved after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the eciency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce the water softener’s capacity. These systems are not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Refer to the system Installation and Service Manals for set-up and programming instructions.
Contact your local dealer for parts and service. See your owner’s manual for warranty information.

Location Selection
Location of a water conditioning system is important. The following conditions are required:
• Level platform or oor.
Note: The Pro Elite System can be provided with optional leveling feet that may be used on the two tanks. Order part number 4000409.
• Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding regenerant (salt) to tank.
• Ambient temperatures over 34°F (1°C and below 120°F (49°C).
• Water pressure below 125 psi (8.62 bar) and above 20 psi (1.38 bar).
• In Canada the water pressure must be below 100 psi (6.89 bar).
• Constant electrical supply to operate the control.
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet
(three meters) to prevent backup of hot water into system.
• Local drain for discharge as close as possible.
• Water line connections with shuto 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.
• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.
WARNING: Dry location use only, unless used with a Listed Class 2 Power Supply suitable for outdoor use.
Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the Pro Elite conditioner be installed in a protected environment.
When installing the water conditioning system outdoors, several items must be considered:
• Moisture – The valve and control are rated for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should not aect performance. The system is not designed to withstand extreme humidity or water spray from below. Examples are: constant heavy mist, near corrosive environment, or upwards spray from sprinkler. Ensure that the Analyzer probe access panel is installed on the unit.
• Direct Sunlight – The materials used will fade or discolor over time in direct sunlight. The integrity of the materials will not degrade to cause system failures.
• Temperature – Extreme hot or cold temperatures will cause damage to the valve or control. Freezing temperatures will freeze the water in the valve. This will cause physical damage to the internal parts as well as the plumbing and conditioning resin. High temperatures will aect the control. The display may become unreadable but the control should continue to function. When the temperature returns to normal operating limits, the display will re-appear. A protective cover should assist with high temperature applications.
• Insects – The control and valve have been designed to keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical areas. Any holes in the top plate can be covered with duct tape. The top cover should be installed securely in place.

2. Stand the salt tank up and in position. Level as needed. The tank has two ports that will be connected. One to a drain and one to the valve.
3. Place the brine tube in position inside the pocket at the bottom of the tank. Install the overow tting.
4. Place the tank collar over the top of the brine tube. Position the collar and push it down into the tank. Lay the cover aside for now.
Figure 4
Tank and Probe Assembly
The probes are preinstalled to the media tank. The probes are located behind an access panel on the jacket of the media tank. To remove the access panel, remove the four screws and washers.
Use only 100% silicone lubricant on the probe O-rings (Figure 5). Do not allow the lubricant to come into contact with the probe pins. Install the probe assemblies into the tank and secure with the locking clasp (Figure 6).
Important: The pins on the probes will only t into the bulkhead ttings one way. The pins must go into the matching holes at the bottom of the tting. The probe with the shortest length of wire must be on top.
Install the protective shield (Figure 6 ).
Note: Do not attempt to tighten or loosen the Bulkhead ttings, as they are secured with a locking adhesive.

Water Line and Bypass Connections
A bypass valve system should be installed on all water conditioning systems. A model 1265 bypass is included with this system. The bypass valve isolates the conditioner from the water system and provides unconditioned water to service during routine maintenance and servicing procedures. See Figure 7 Model 1265 Bypass (Included) and Figure 8 Typical Three Valve Bypass Conguration (Not provided by manufacturer).
Note: Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate the two handles on the bypass valve 2-3 times. This will help seat the O-rings and prevent leaking.
