Application of Iron Water Softeners The Iron Water softener is designed to soften water through an ion exchange process as described previously. In addition, the ion exchange resin used in the mineral tank is a fine mesh resin, which is less likely to be prone to iron fouling than standard softener resin. Again, as mentioned previously, a resin cleaner solution should still be added to the brine tank with the use of an automatic feeder.
Installation Instructions 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.
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. 4. Attach the bypass valve to the control valve. Connect the inlet and outlet of the Iron softener to the plumbing in the house. The control valve must not be subjected to temperatures above 71°C (160°F).
Operating Instructions Setting the Time of Day (Figure 3) This is a 24-hour timer and must correspond with the correct time on your wrist watch to ensure proper cycling of your conditioner. Disengage the drive gear by pressing and holding in the RED BUTTON on the left side of the control. Now turn the large 24-hour gear until the actual time of day is at the time of day arrow at the bottom of the panel. Release the red button to re-engage the drive gear.
Setting the Regeneration Frequency (CC - Figure 6) The unit’s control features a skipper wheel with twelve numbered tabs and trip fingers. Each represents one day of a twelve day schedule. By adjusting the skipper wheel tabs the control can be programmed to regenerate every second, third, fourth, sixth or every twelfth day, according to your requirements. The control is shipped with all the skipper wheel tabs pushed outwards.

Maintenance Checking the Salt Level Check the salt level monthly. Remove the lid from the cabinet or brine tank, make sure salt level is always above the brine level (you should not be able to see water). Adding Salt Use only clean salt labeled for water conditioner use, such as crystal, pellet, nugget, button or solar. The use of rock salt is discouraged because it contains insoluble silt and sand which build up in the brine tank and can cause problems with the system’s operation.
Res-Up® Feeder Installation Instructions 1. Remove top cover, fill the Res-up® Feeder (plastic container) to the top with water so that the wick retaining clip, tube and wick are wetted. Allow to soak for 15 minutes or more. 2. Empty water and pull tube and wick through Feeder until slack is removed from inside. The outlet end tube and wick must be below the bottom level of the Res-up® Feeder. 3. Fill Feeder with Res-up® Cleaner to ‘Fill Line’ on label. 4.
