CAUTION
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
CAUTION
WARNING:
Water Pressure
A minimum of 20 psi (1.4 bar) of water pressure is required for
the regeneration valve to operate effectively.
Electrical Facilities
An uninterrupted power supply is required. The control uses a
transformer to supply 12 VDC. 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 system.
Location of System and Drain
The system should be located close to a drain to prevent air
breaks and back flow.
Outdoor Locations
When the water conditioning system is installed outdoors,
several items must be considered.
• Moisture — The system is not designed to withstand
extreme humidity or water spray from below. Examples
are: constant heavy mist, near corrosive environment,
upwards spray from sprinkler.
This unit is for dry location use only unless used
with a Listed Class 2 power supply suitable for
outdoor use.
• 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. If
it is necessary to locate the system in direct sunlight, a
protective outdoor cover (P/N 61994) over the valve and
controller is necessary.
• Insects — If installing in an environment that may expose
the system to insects or other small animals, a protective
cover is required. The protective outdoor cover (P/N
61994) has been designed to keep all but the smallest
insects out of the critical areas. The cover should be
installed securely in place.
Bypass Valves
Always provide for the installation of a bypass valve if unit is not
equipped with one.
Water pressure is not to exceed 125 psi (8.6 bar),
water temperature is not to exceed 110°F (43°C),
and the unit cannot be subjected to freezing
conditions.
The system must be depressurized before
removing any connections for servicing.
Installation Instructions
1. Place the media tank where you want to install the unit.
Make sure the unit is level and on a firm base.
2. During cold weather, the installer should warm the valve to
room temperature before operating.
3. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local
plumbing codes. The pipe size for a residential drain line
should be a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm). Backwash flow rates
in excess of 7 gpm (26.5 Lpm) or drain line length in excess
of 20' (6 m) require 3/4" (19 mm) drain line. Commercial
drain lines should be the same size as the drain line flow
control.
NOTE: The tank should have the distributor tube installed
and have the proper amount of regenerant in place.
4. Refer to the valve spec sheet for cutting height of the
distributor tube.
5. Lubricate the distributor O-ring seal and tank O-ring
seal. Place the main control valve on tank. Note: Only use
silicone lubricant.
6. Soldering of joints near the drain port must be done prior to
connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC). Leave
at least 6" (15 cm) 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.
7. Plumber tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain
fitting.
8. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage
tank and that the tank is level.
9. Place approximately 1" (25 mm) of water above the grid
plate. If a grid is not utilized, fill to the top of the air check
(Figure 1) in the salt tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank
at this time.
If grid plate is used, cut air check height just below
the grid plate. This is critical on 6", 7", 8" and 9"
tanks. The brine refill water must come above the
grid plate and make contact with the salt.
10. On units with a bypass, place in bypass position. Turn on
the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby
and let run a few minutes or until the plumbing is free from
foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted
from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.
11. Slowly place the bypass in service position and let water
flow into the mineral tank. When water flow stops, slowly
open a cold water tap nearby and let water run until the air
is purged from the unit.
12. Plug the transformer into an electrical outlet.
NOTE: All electrical connections must be connected according
to local codes. Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.
60002 Rev E
Figure 1 Residential Air Check Valve
Electrical Connection
The controller operates on 12-volt DC power supply. This
requires use of the supplied power adapter included with your
system. For installation location assistance, see Transformer
Port Location on page "TRANSFORMER PORT LOCATION" on
page 28.
NOTE: The power source should be constant. Be certain the
power adapter is not on a switched outlet. Power
interruptions longer than eight hours may cause the
controller to lose the time setting. When power is
restored, the time setting must then be re-entered.

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS/
SYSTEM DISINFECTION
FLUSHING & CONDITIONING
The water softener should be installed with the inlet,
outlet, and drain connections made in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations, and to meet applicable
plumbing codes.
1. Program the valve control according to instructions shown
in this manual.
2. Start an immediate regeneration by holding the Extra Cycle
button for five seconds. Position the valve to backwash.
Ensure the drain line flow remains steady for 10 minutes or
until the water runs clear.
3. Position the valve to the brine draw/slow rinse position.
Ensure the unit is drawing water from the brine tank (this
step may need to be repeated).
4. Position the valve to the rapid rinse position. Check the
drain line flow, and run for five minutes or until the water
runs clear.
5. Position the valve to the start of the brine tank fill cycle.
Ensure water goes into the brine tank at the desired rate.
The brine valve drive cam will hold the valve in this position
to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration.
6. Replace control cover.
7. Put salt in the brine tank.
NOTE: Do not use granulated or rock salt.
Disinfection of Water Softeners
The materials of construction of the modern water softener
will not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials
contaminate a water supply. During normal use, a softener
may become fouled with organic matter, or in some cases with
bacteria from the water supply. This may result in an off-taste
or odor in the water.
Some softeners may need to be disinfected after installation
and some softeners will require periodic disinfection during
their normal life.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of softener, the
type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant available, a choice
can be made among the following methods.
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite
Application
These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene
resins, synthetic gel zeolite, greensand and bentonites.
5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite
These solutions are available under trade names such as
Clorox*. If stronger solutions are used, such as those sold for
commercial laundries, adjust the dosage accordingly.
1. Dosage
A. Polystyrene resin; 1.2 fluid ounce (35.5 ml) per cubic
foot.
B. Non-resinous exchangers; 0.8 fluid ounce (23.7 ml) per
cubic foot.
2. Salt tank softeners
A. Backwash the softener and add the required amount
of hypochlorite solution to the well of the salt tank. The
salt tank should have water in it to permit the solution
to be carried into the softener.
B. Proceed with the normal recharge.
*Clorox is a trademark of the Clorox Company.
Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in
several forms including tablets and granules. These solid
materials may be used directly without dissolving before use.
1. Dosage
A. Two grains (approximately 0.1 ounce [3 ml]) per cubic
foot.
2. Salt tank softeners
A. Backwash the softener and add the required amount of
hypochlorite to the well of the salt tank. The salt tank
should have water in it to permit the chlorine solution to
be carried into the softener.
B. Proceed with the normal recharge.
