How Your 7000-DF Water Conditioner Works

Hard water enters your home through the main supply line, enters the softener and passes down through a resin mineral bed which softens the water. An ion exchange process takes place in which the resin beads capture and hold calcium and magnesium, the hardness minerals, while the water takes on sodium ions. The soft water then flows into your household water line.

In normal operation, the Time of Day display will alternate being viewed with the Volume Remaining display. This display will be in gallons. As treated water is used, the Volume Remaining display will count down from a maximum value to zero or (---). Once this occurs, a regeneration cycle will be initiated at the Set Regeneration Time. Water flow through the valve is indicated by the Flow Dot that will flash in direct relationship to flow rate.

Example 833 Gallons of Treated

Water Remaining

0 Gallons of Treated Water Remaining

In regeneration, the control will display a special regeneration display. In this display, the control will show the current regeneration step number the valve is advancing to or has reached and the time remaining in that step. The step number displayed will flash until the valve has completed driving into this regeneration step position. Once all regeneration steps have been completed, the valve will return to Service and resume normal operation.

Example Less than 6 minutes

remaining in Regen Step #1

Pushing the Extra Cycle Button during a regeneration cycle will immediately advance the valve to the next cycle step position and resume normal step timing.

Control Operation During Programming

The control will only enter the Program Mode with the valve in Service. While in the Program Mode, the control will continue to operate normally, monitoring water usage and keeping all displays up to date. Control programming is stored in memory permanently, eliminating the need for battery back-up power.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Operating Temperature Range = 34° to 110°F (1° to 43°C). Operating Pressure Range = 20 to 120 psi (1.37 to 8.27 bar). The manufacturer reserves the right to make product improvements which may deviate from the specifications and descriptions shown above, without obligation to change previously manufactured products or to note the change.

CAUTION: These products are not intended to be used to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. NOTES:

(1)

10lb/cu.ft. salt dosage is the standard factory setting.

(2)

The Service Flow Rate given will not exceed a pressure drop of 15psi.

(3)

Dimensions of cylindrical tanks shown are diameter (or width) x

height. Cabinets shown as length x width x height.

Control Operation During a Power Failure

During a power failure, all control displays and programming are stored for use upon power re-application. An inaccurate or flashing Time of Day display indicates that a power outage has occurred. During power failure the control:

• Is fully inoperative and any calls for Regeneration are delayed.

• Upon power re-application, resume normal operation from the point that it was interrupted.

• Does not monitor the volume of water used during a power outage.

• In Delay Regeneration types, the reserve capacity is set to 1/3 the capacity.

Installation Instructions

All government codes and regulations governing the installation of these devices must be observed.

CAUTION: If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the Noryl bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity. The length of the grounding strap will depend upon the number of units being installed and/or the amount of copper pipe being replaced with poly. See Figure 1.

In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by poly pipe or the Noryl bypass valve as in Figure 1 or by physical separation as in Figure 2, an approved ground clamp with no less than #6

copper conductor

must be used for continuity,

to maintain proper metallic pipe

bonding.

Check your local electrical code for the correct clamp and cable size.

1. Determine the best location for your water softener, bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines, drain line and 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the softener to freezing or temperatures above 110°F (43°C) will void the warranty.

2. Outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not supply softened water. A new water line is often required to be connected to supply hard water to the inlet of the water softener and to the outside faucets. Cut the water line between where it enters the house and before any lines that branch off to feed the hot water heater or other fixtures in the house and as near the desired location of the water softener as possible. Install a tee fitting on the feed end of the cut pipe, and an elbow fitting on the other end. Install piping from the tee to the inlet of the water softener and from the elbow to the outlet of the softener. To sever the water lines which branch off to feed any outside faucets, cut the branch lines approximately two inches from the fitting on the main water line. Install an elbow on the end of the pipe nearest the outside faucet and a cap on the end connected to the existing water line. Install piping from the tee installed on the inlet line to the water softener to the elbow installed on the pipe to the outside faucet. Following this procedure will result in all lines in the house, with the exception of the outside faucets, but including the water heater and therefore the hot water lines, being supplied with soft water.

3. Familiarize yourself with the location of the inlet, outlet and drain on the control valve. Be very careful not to get the controls wet.
