Resin Tank - the tank may be shipped with a temporary shipping cap, a master O-Ring, and a piece of tape covering the riser tube.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1: Attach the Control Valve to the Resin Tank A. Locate the Master O-ring (from Parts Bag) and lightly coat with silicone lubricant (from Owner’s Manual Zip-Lock Bag). Insert into bottom of control valve, as shown below. B. Connect the upper distributor, to bottom of control valve, line up slots and twist, as shown below. C. Center the riser pipe within the resin tank. D. Attach the control valve to the resin tank by sliding the upper distributor over the riser pipe. E.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS E. Insert the connectors into the pipe fittings. The outlet connector containing water meter probe dock and the impeller must be installed in the outlet side of the bypass valve (as marked). Insert water meter probe in dock. F. Reinstall the plastic clamps on the connectors. Proceed to Step 4 Step 3: Assembly using the included bypass valve A. Insert blue washers (from Parts Bag) into input and output connections on the control valve, as shown below. B.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS D. To attach the bypass valve onto the control valve, remove plastic clamps from both inlet and outlet of bypass valve. Remove pipe fitting ends from bypass outlets and thread onto control valve. Connect bypass valve onto fittings and reinstall plastic clamps. E. Insert water meter probe from control valve into the bypass valve’s on-board water meter probe dock, ensuring it is securely seated, as shown below. Step 4: Connect the brine line to the brine tank A.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Figure 1.1 B. Unscrew connecting nut(1) from brine valve (2) attached to brine tubing, as shown in Figure 1.1. C. Verify the plastic sleeve is inserted completely into the end of the brine tube as shown below. D. If necessary, adjust position of connecting nut on brine tubing to allow threads to engage completely with brine valve. 10 E. While pushing brine valve threads through hole in brine well, push brine tubing with connecting nut firmly into brine valve. F.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS J. Insert the red brine line flow control (from Parts Bag) with the cone side facing into control valve, into the control valve brine line connector. K. Insert brine line into control valve. Tighten the nut onto the brine line connection, as shown in the area of magnification below.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS C. Secure the clear drain tubing over a floor drain or other suitable drain. Check your local codes to ensure compliance. STEP 6: Connect the backwash hose to the control valve A. Insert washer (from Parts bag) into ribbed drain connector. B. C. D. E. Thread ribbed drain connector (from Parts Bag), onto drain connection. Attach clear drain tubing to connector. Secure using a hose clamp (from Owner’s Manual Zip-Lock bag).
FLUSHING THE WATERLINES Before operating water softener for the first time, flush out your water lines and the water softener bypass. • Check that bypass is closed. Knob on top of inlet should be turned to "By-Pass" (side opposite of "In-Serv") • Turn the water source on at the inlet to your home. • Disconnect the bypass from the control valve by removing plastic clamps and pulling bypass out of fitting. • Remove the meter impeller from the bypass by tilting bypass downward until it drops out.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE BRIDGING Humidity or the wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt. This action, known as “bridging”, prevents the brine solution from being made, preventing the water softener from working. If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the plastic brine tank, or pour some warm water over the salt to break up the bridge.
