General and Commercial Installation Checklist
1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit.
NOTE:
2. During cold weather it is recommended that the installer warm the valve to room temperature before operating.
3. Perform all plumbing according to local plumbing codes.
— Use a 1/2" minimum pipe size for the drain.
— Use a 3/4" drain line for backwash flow rates that exceed 7 gpm or length that exceeds 20′ (6 m).
4. Both tanks must be the same height and diameter and filled with equal amounts of media.
5. The distributor tube must be flush with the top of each tank. Cut if necessary. Use only non-aerosol silicone
lubricant.
6. Lubricate the distributor o-ring seal and tank o
adapter on the second tank.
NOTE:
7. Solder joints near the drain must be done before connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC). Leave
at least 6" (152 mm) between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the
DLFC. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to DLFC.
8. Use only
9. Be sure the floor under the salt storage tank is clean and level.
10. Place approximately 1" (25 mm) of water above the grid plate. If a grid is not utilized, fill to the top of the air

Regeneration Cycle Program Setting Procedure
Setting the Regeneration Cycle Program
The Regeneration cycle program on the water conditioner is preset at the factory. However, portions of the cycle or
program time may be lengthened or shortened for local conditions or system design.
1. Expose cycle program wheel by grasping timer in lower right hand corner and pulling. This releases snap
retainer and swings timer to the left
NOTE:
2. Remove the program wheel by grasping program wheel and squeezing protruding lugs towards center. Lift
program wheel off timer.
— Switch arms may require movement to facilitate removal.
3. Return timer to closed position by engaging snap retainer in back plate.
— Make certain all electrical wires locate above snap retainer post.

be removed from meter dome before opening timer.
The program wheel in
group of pins starting at zero determines the length of time the unit backwashes.
Example:
— The number of pins multiplied by two equals minutes of backwash.
If there are six pins in this section, the time of backwash is 12 minutes (2 minutes per pin). To
change the length of backwash time, add or remove pins as required.
Figure 5
is In Service position. Looking at the numbered side of the program wheel, the
Changing 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 a unit will brine and rinse (2 minutes per hole).
To change the length of brine and rinse time, add or remove pins in the rapid rinse group of pins to increase or
decrease the number of holes in the brine and rinse section.
— The number of holes multiplied by two equals minutes of brine and rinse.
Changing Length Of Rapid Rinse
The second group of pins on the program wheel determines the length of time the water conditioner rapid rinses (2
minutes 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 multiplied by two equals minutes of rapid rinse.
NOTE:
Program wheels with 0–82 minute cycle times, use one minute per pin or hole to set Regeneration
times. The layout of pins and holes on the program wheel follow the same procedure as on this page.
Changing Length of Brine Tank Refill Time
The second group of holes on the program wheel determines the length of time the water conditioner refills the
brine tank (2 minutes per hole).
To change the length of refill time, move the two pins at the end of the second group of holes as required.
The Regeneration cycle is complete when the two pin set at end of the brine tank refill section trips the outer
micro-switch. The program wheel, however, continues to rotate until the inner micro-switch drops into the notch on
the program wheel.

Time Brine Refill and Meter Setting Procedure
Programming
1. The control valve is set at the factory for backwash; brine and slow rinse; rapid rinse and brine tank fill times.
Change any of these times by repositioning the pins and holes or adding more pins.
NOTE:
2. The control valve has a separate brine tank fill cycle.
— Calculate the desired salt setting using the brine line flow control rate of refill (in gpm) multiplied by the
Example:
NOTE:
3. Setting the gallon wheel.
Knowing the amount of resin in each tank and the salt setting per Regeneration, calculate the gallons
available, using the following capacities as a guide:
Two speed timer motors are available

1/30 RPM has 164 minute Regeneration Time and each pin or hole equals two minutes.
timer setting. Then, using one gallon of fresh water dissolving approximately 3 lbs salt, calculate the refill
time.
A desired 30 lbs salt setting:
The unit has a 1.0 gpm refill rate so a 10 gallon fill is required.
10 gallons x 3 lbs/gals = 30 lbs salt
Set the timer refill section at 10 minutes.
10 minutes x 1.0 gpm = 10 gallon fill
There must always be two pins at the end of a refill time to stop the fill cycle.
With the Regeneration times set, place timer back to its original position, making sure the lower right
hand corner snaps back into the backplate and the meter cable slides through the backplate and does
not bind.

There is a slight delay between the time the meter zeros out and the cycle starts. Units using the:
1/15 RPM motor, 82 minute Regeneration Time has a 9
1/30 RPM motor, 180 minute Regeneration Time has an 18
This delay period is not critical on residential equipment. However, take this factor into consideration
for commercial applications by subtracting continuous flows for 9 minutes or 18 minutes from water
available.
10 minutes x 7.0 gpm =70.0 gallons
60 minutes x 1.0 gpm =60.0 gallons
10 minutes x 7.0 gpm =70.0 gallons
