Specifi cations
The REIONATOR™ is a DIR (demand initiated regeneration) softener which complies
with specifi c performance specifi cations intended to minimize the use of regenerant
brine in its operation.
This water softener conforms to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for reduction of aesthetic chlorine and NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for softening effi ciency as verifi ed and substantiated
by test data. While testing was performed under laboratory conditions, due to varying
water conditions actual performance may vary.
The REIONATOR has been tested according to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction
of the substances listed in the table below. The concentration of the substance in the
water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the
permissible limit for water leaving the system as specifi ed by NSF/ANSI Standard 42.
The REIONATOR is not intended for use in treating water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before and/or after
the system.
Usage of the REIONATOR in a manner other than prescribed in the manufacturer’s
warranty will void the REIONATOR limited lifetime warranty.
As with any appliance, proper operation and maintenance is required to ensure trouble-free operation. Please consult your local authorized Water Tech dealer for service.

Maintenance
This manual is applicable to one of the following model numbers:
RC32-TM, RC40-TM, RC48-TM, RC64-TM, RC80-TM
With minimal care, your system is designed to serve you for many years. While constant attention to your system is not necessary, the following suggestions will insure
your system’s performance and your convenience and satisfaction.
MAINTENANCE
• Salt in the brine tank is used as a resin ‘cleaner’ to remove contaminants during
the regeneration process. Check the salt level of the brine tank on a regular basis
to make sure your system is using salt. Your REIONATOR™ will function properly
whether the salt tank is near full or near empty, refi ll when necessary.
• Use only premium-grade regenerant salt that is designed specifi cally for use with
water softeners and conditioners. Sodium (NaCl) salt may be used. Potassium (KCl)
is recommended in most applications for superior taste, odor, aesthetic and environmental benefi ts.
SERVICE ISSUES
• If the Triton control valve system display does not appear, check to make sure the
system is plugged in and that there is power at the receptacle. If the unit does not
respond with power present, contact your Water Tech Dealer.
• The manual bypass valve (which is located at the rear of the unit) is designed to
isolate the unit from the plumbing for servicing or to shut off the water supply to
the unit in the event of a leak at the conditioner. Consult the operating diagram on
pages 11-12 of this manual for instructions to position your bypass valve for either
service or isolation.
• If you experience an extended power outage (over an hour in length), you may need
to reset the time of day on the Triton control valve. The internal battery is designed
to retain the time of day for up to 24 hours. There is no need to reset any other
part of the program as this is kept in non-volatile, permanent memory. Consult the
programming instructions on page 10 of this manual for instructions to set the electronic time clock of the Triton control valve.
• If you experience a change in water quality:
1. First check to see if your brine tank is empty (see above). If necessary,
add regenerant salt.
2. Check to see if your system has power (see above).
3. Check to see if the drain line has a kink that may be restricting fl ow during
regeneration. Correct, if necessary, or contact your Water Tech Dealer.
