Installation All plumbing and electrical connections must conform to local codes. Not in Bypass Out In In Bypass Out In Inspect unit carefully for carrier shortage or shipping damage. PA S S Water Conditioner 3. Since salt must be added periodically to the brine tank, the location should be easily accessible. BY PA S S PA S S 2. If it is likely that supplementary water treatment equipment will be required, make certain adequate additional space is available. PA S S BY BY 1.
Overflow Line Connection 4. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7-inch (18-cm) loop at the far end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain line connection. This will provide an adequate siphon trap. In the absence of a safety overflow and in the event of a malfunction, the BRINE TANK OVERFLOW will direct “overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor where it could cause considerable damage.
Placing Conditioner into Operation 5. Place the conditioner into operation. A. With the water supply valve completely open, carefully advance the indicator knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to the center of the BRINE REFILL position. Hold at this position until water starts to flow through the brine line into the brine tank. Do not run for more than one or two minutes. B. Advance the indicator knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE until it points to the center of the BRINE/SLOW RINSE position. C.

Hardness Setting 4. Depress the black TIME SET button. The numbers will roll from “0” to “15.” Release the switch at the desired number of days for the calendar override. For example, releasing the switch at “10” would program a 10-day calendar override. Move the jumper to the set of pins next to the word HARDNESS (Figure 8). Press the black TIME SET button until the hardness of the incoming water supply is displayed. The hardness range is from 1 to 99 grains per gallon. 5. Disconnect power. 6.

Removing the Valve Assembly for Servicing Indicator Arrow 1. Unplug the power cord. 2. Shut off water supply or put bypass valve(s) into bypass position. 3. Remove cover and with screwdriver, relieve tank pressure by pushing open valve No. 7 (rear flapper) on control as shown (Figure 10). Figure 11 4. Remove the camshaft by carefully pushing the securing tab, located at the rear of the camshaft, away from the camshaft until the tab disengages from the camshaft.
Preventive Maintenance Water Meter Maintenance Note: A water meter is used only with the 460i control. If you are using the 440i control, this section does not pertain to your conditioner. Injector Screen and Injector Inspect and clean brine tank and screen filter on end of brine pickup tube once a year or when sediment appears in the bottom of the brine tank. The metering device used with the 460i demand control may require simple maintenance.

Troubleshooting IMPORTANT: Service procedures that require the water pressure to be removed from the system are marked with a ! after the possible cause. To remove water pressure from the system, put the bypass valve or three-valve bypass into the bypass position and open the backwash drain valve (the seventh valve back from the control) with a screwdriver. Restore system water pressure when the service work is completed.

Disinfection of Water Conditioners 2. Brine tank conditioners The materials of construction of the modern water conditioner will not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials contaminate a water supply. However, the normal conditions existing during shipping, storage and installation indicate the advisability of disinfecting a conditioner after installation, before the conditioner is used to treat potable water.
