installation instructions

WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 20 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate effectively.

ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Note: Other voltages are available. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.

EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that is built up heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced. If piping is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit should be installed ahead of the water softener.

LOCATION OF SOFTENER AND DRAIN: The softener should be located close to a drain to prevent air breaks and back flow.

BY-P ASS V AL VES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve if unit is not equipped with one. CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 120 p.s.i., water temperature is not to exceed 110°F, and the unit cannot be

subjected to freezing conditions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level and on a firm base.

2. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 1/2”. Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require 3/4” drain line.

3. The 1” distributor tube (1.050 O.D.) should be cut flush with top of each tank.

4. Lubricate the distributor o-ring seal and tank “o” ring seal. Place the main control valve on tank. Note: Only use silicone lubricant.

5. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC). Leave at least 6” between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the DLFC. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the DLFC.

6. Teflon tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain fitting.

7. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage tank and that it is level.

8. Place approximately 1” of water above the grid plate. If a grid is not utilized, fill to the top of the air check in the salt tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.

9. On units with a by-pass, place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.

10. Slowly place the by-pass in service position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When water flow stops, slowly open a cold water tap nearby and let run until the air is purged from the unit.

11. Plug unit into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes. (Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted).

How To Set Days On Which Water Conditioner Is To Regenerate:

Rotate the skipper wheel until the number “1” is at the red pointer. Set the days that regeneration is to occur by sliding tabs on the skipper wheel outward to expose trip fingers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving clockwise from the red pointer, extend or retract fingers to obtain the desired regeneration schedule.

How To Set The Time Of Day:

Press and hold the red button in to disengage the drive gear. Turn the large gear until the actual time of day is at the time

of day pointer. Release the red button to again engage the drive gear.

How To Manually Regenerate Your Water Conditioner At Any Time:

Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise. This slight movement of the manual regeneration knob

engages the program wheel and starts the regeneration program.

The black center knob will make one revolution in the following approximately three hours and stop in the position shown in the drawing.

Even thought it takes three hours for this center knob to complete one revolution, the regeneration cycle of your unit might be set only one half of this time.

In any ev ent, conditioned water may be drawn after rinse water stops flowing from the water conditioner drain line.

How to Adjust Regeneration Time:

1. Disconnect the power source.

2. Locate the three screws behind the manual regeneration knob by pushing the red button in and rotating the 24 hour dial until each screw appears in the cut out portion of the manual regeneration knob.

3. Loosen each screw slightly to release the pressure on the time plate from the 24 hour gear.

4. Locate the regeneration time pointer on the inside of the 24 hour dial in the cut out.

5. Turn the time plate so the desired regeneration time aligns next to the raised arrow.

6. Push the red button in and rotate the 24 hour dial. Tighten each of the three screws.

7. Push the red button and locate the pointer one more time to ensure the desired regeneration time is correct.

8. Reset the time of day and restore power to the unit.

How To Set Regeneration Cycle Program:

The regeneration cycle program on your water conditioner has been factory preset, however, portions of the cycle or program may be lengthened or shortened in time to suit local conditions.

To expose cycle program wheel, grasp timer in upper left-hand corner and pull, releasing snap retainer and swinging timer to the right.

To change the regeneration cycle program, the program wheel must be removed. Grasp pro gram wheel and squeeze protruding lugs towards center, lift program wheel off timer. (Switch arms may require movement to facilitate removal.)

How To Change The Length Of The Backwash Time:

The program wheel as shown in the drawing is in the service position. As you look at the numbered side of the program wheel, the group of pins starting a zero determines the length of time your unit will backwash.

FOR EXAMPLE: If there are six pins in this section, the time of backwash will be 12 min. (2 min. per pin). to change the length of backwash time, add or remove pins as required. The number of pins times two equals the backwash time in minutes. (Note: Do not add pins

before “0” minutes designation.)

How To Change The Length of Brine and Rinse Time:

The group of holes between the last pin in the backwash section and the second group of pins determines the length of time that your unit will brine and rinse. (2 min. per hole.)

To change the length of brine and rinse time, move the rapid rinse group of pins to give more or fewer holes in the brine and rinse section. Number of holes times two equals brine and rinse time in minutes.

How To Change The Length Of Rapid Rinse:

The second group of pins on the program wheel determines the length of time that your water conditioner will rapid rinse. (2 min. per pin.)

To change the length of rapid rinse time, add or remove pins at the higher numbered end of this section as required. The number of pins times two equals the rapid rinse time in minutes.

IMPORTANT!

SALT LEVEL MUST ALWAYS BE ABOVE WATER LEVEL IN BRINE TANK.

How To Change The Length Of Brine Tank Refill Time:

The second group of holes on the program wheel determines the length of time that your water conditioner will refill the brine tank. (2 min. per hole.)

To change the length of refill time, move the two pins at the end of second group of holes as required.

The regeneration cycle is complete when the outer microswitch is tripped by the two pin set at end of the brine tank refill section. The program wheel, however, will continue to rotate until the inner micro-switch drops into the notch on the program wheel.

Return timer to closed position engaging snap retainer in back plate. make certain all electrical wires locate abo ve snap retainer post.
