NOTE: The inlet port is identified with an arrow
pointing towards the softener controls. The outlet
port is identified with an arrow pointing away from
the softener controls. These connections may be
made before the pressure reducing valve.
13. Insert tubing provided into the drain port on the
back of the cabinet and run it to an appropriate
drain. Be sure to provide a “air gap” between
the end of the tubing and the top of the drain.
NOTE: Drain line length should not exceed 8 feet
vertical and 30 feet horizontal from the softener.
14. Insert tubing provided into the overflow port on
the back of the softener and run drain lower
than the cabinet connection to provide a gravity
drain in the event of a internal cabinet leak.
20. Remove balance piston.
15. Review the meter disc selection chart and the
water analysis provided. If no water analysis is
provided test the water supply.
16. To test the water supply, use the water analysis
test kit available through Pro Products Inc. The
recommended kit is #2401 Field Analysis Kit. To
order the test kit contact Pro Products at 800285-9176 or visit www.ProProducts.com.
17. Choose the meter disc and salt setting that best
fits the installation parameters.
NOTE: See DISC SELECTION at the end of
instructions.
NOTE: The lower salt setting is the preferred setting.
18. Both the WS-C206 and the WS-C208 have a #4
meter disc installed at the factory. If this is not
the correct disc for a given application, locate
the meter disc kit and install the correct disc.
19. To change disc, remove screws and cap cover
