Specifications Setup Feed water Unpack and check the system components for damage or missing parts. ! Do not use this system on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. ! Where to Install the Softener Minimum inlet pressure: 20 psig Consider the following points when determining where to install the water softener: Maximum operating pressure: 125 psig • Place the system as close as possible to a sewer drain.

Installation Use Step 10 to install rigid drain pipe. 1. Turn off gas or electric supply to the water heater. 10. To install a rigid drain pipe instead of tubing: • Remove the barbed fitting from the drain port. 2. Turn off the water supply to pipes to be cut and drain the house water pipes. • Plumb 1⁄2" rigid pipe from female drain port to the drain location. Leave an air gap of at least 11⁄2" between the end of the drain plumbing and the drain point. 3. Open both hot and cold faucets. 4.

Installation continued 14. Fully open two (2) cold (soft) water faucets near the water softener. 15. Fully open the house main water shutoff valve. Observe a steady flow from both faucets. 16. S lowly, turn bypass valve back to the "service" position. Keep soft water faucets open. NOTE: If the water appears cloudy or has a slight yellow color, allow it to run for several more minutes until it runs clear. 17.

Softener Operation Service As water enters the softener, it passes over a resin bed in the mineral tank. The resin consists of tiny beads of plastic called styrene. These beads attract and hold sodium ions and exchange the sodium for hardness ions when encountered. Over time, the resin becomes saturated with hardness ions and no longer removes hardness materials. The softener goes into a “regeneration” to flush hardness materials to the drain and refresh the resin with sodium.

Service continued Cleaning the Injectors and Screens 1) Turn off water supply to conditioner: a) If the conditioner installation has a “three valve” by-pass system, first open the valve in the by-pass line, and then close the valves at the conditioner inlet and outlet. b) If the conditioner has an integral by-pass valve, put it in the by-pass position. c) If there is only a shutoff valve near the conditioner inlet, close it.

Troubleshooting Problem Cause 1. Softener Fails To Regenerate. A. Electrical Service to Unit has been Interrupted. 2. Softener Delivers Hard Water. B. Timer Programming Bad (Improper Programming). A. By-Pass Valve is Open. B. No Salt in Brine Tank. C. Injectors or Screen Plugged. D. Insufficient Water Flowing into Brine Tank. E. Hot Water Tank Hardness. F. Flow Meter Jammed. G. Flow Meter Cable Disconnected or Not Plugged into Meter. H. Improper Programming. I. Plugged brine line or air check. 3.
