PREINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEALERS: The manufacturer has preset the water treatment unit’s sequence of cycles, cycle times, salt dose, exchange capacity and salt dose refill time. The dealer should read this page and guide the installer regarding hardness, day override, and time of regeneration, before installation. For the installer, the following must be used: • Program Installer Settings: Hardness, Day Override (preset to 12 days), and Time of Regeneration (preset to 2 a.m.
1. NORMAL OPERATION POSITION: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated by the engraved arrows on the control valve. Water flows through the control valve for normal operation of a water filter. During the regeneration cycle this position provides regeneration water to the unit, while also providing untreated water to the distribution system (Fig. 1). 2. BYPASS POSITION: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass.
INSTALLATION: GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments. There is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping, but the water filter is not designed to support the weight of the plumbing. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black “O” Rings, but is not necessary.
. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Be sure to install Bypass Valve onto main control valve before beginning plumbing. Make provisions to bypass outside hydrant and cold hard water lines at this time. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb to the unit’s bypass valve inlet located at the right rear as you face the unit. There are a variety of installation fittings available. They are listed under Installation Fitting Assemblies, page 22-23.
IMS/IMB INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Special precautions must be made when connecting the drain line. Hard piping is recommended. During backwash, high volumes of water and air escape rapidly, causing a flexible drain line to whip and thrash. Please attach drain line securely with rigid piping. Two check valves are supplied with this shipment. One is a 3/8" John Guest push-in type with screen and the other is a 1" stainless female threaded check valve.
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES: 1. Set time of day: Time of day should only need to be set after extended power outages or when daylight saving time begins or ends. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off indicating that the time should be reset. STEP 1 – Press SET CLOCK. STEP 2 – CURRENT TIME (HOUR): Set the hour of the day using + or — buttons. AM/PM toggles after 12. Press NEXT to go to step 3. STEP 3 – CURRENT TIME (MINUTES): Set the minutes using + or — buttons.
2. Programming cont’d: STEP 4 – REGENERATION HOUR: The manufacturer has factory set 12:00 A.M. as the default. This is the hour of day for regeneration and can be reset by using + or — buttons. “AM/PM” toggles after 12. The default time is 12:00 a.m. (recommended for a normal household). Press NEXT to go to step 5. Press REGEN if you need to return to the previous step. STEP 5 – REGENERATION MINUTES: Set the minutes using + or — buttons. Press NEXT to exit installer programming.
3. MANUAL REGENERATION: Sometimes there is a need to regenerate before the control valve calls for it. This may be needed if a period of heavy water use is anticipated or when the system has been operated without salt. • To initiate a manual regeneration at the next preset regeneration time, press and release REGEN. The words “REGEN TODAY” will flash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the next regeneration time (set in Programming, steps 4 and 5).
START-UP INSTRUCTIONS: • • • • After installation is complete, rotate bypass handles to bypass mode (see Fig.2 on page 4). Turn on water and check for leaks. Fully open a cold water faucet — preferably a laundry sink or bathtub without an aerator. Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris which may have occurred during installation. System regeneration sequence is in the following order. Some sequence differences may be noticed depending upon local conditions.
REPLACEMENT MINERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMBF-ACID NEUTRALIZER: The IMBF-Acid Neutralizer utilizes a sacrificing mineral that will need replacement every 6 to 12 months. • Check mineral for proper height every 6 months. • If below half-full, add mineral to the two-thirds full level. (NEVER OVERFILL PAST TWO-THIRDS FULL.) • Always turn water supply off and relieve water pressure before opening unit. (See instructions stated below.) 1.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE: GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL REGENERATION When the system is operating, one of three displays will be shown: time of day, gallons of treated water available, or gallons per minute. Pressing NEXT will toggle between the three choices. NOTE: If you need to initiate a manual regeneration, either immediately, or the same night at the preprogrammed time for regeneration (typically 12:00 AM), complete the following steps.
