Step 10. Install OVERFLOW LINE to brine tank OVER-

FLOW FITTING (Figure 2).  Discharge of line must
be lower than OVERFLOW FITTING.

DO NOT

INTERCONNECT OVERFLOW LINE WITH
VALVE DRAIN LINE.

Step 11. Make certain BYPASS VALVE INLET and OUT-

LET KNOBS ARE IN "BYPASS" position.  After
all plumbing connections have been completed,
open main water shut-off valve or restore power to
well pump.  Check for leaks and correct as
necessary.

Figure 4. BYPASS VALVE

Step 12.   Plug CONTROL VALVE POWER CORD into 120v/

60Hz, non-switched power source.  Manually stage
control to BACKWASH POSITION and then un-
plug power cord to prevent the unit from advancing
automatically.

Step 13. Partially open INLET knob on bypass valve (Figure 4). 

This will allow the unit to fill slowly from the bottom
up,  reducing air entrapment.  Allow unit to fill 
slowly, failure to do so could result in loss of resin to
the drain.  Once a  steady stream  of  water, no air, 

 

is flowing to drain the inlet and outlet knobs on the 

 

bypass can be fully opened.

Step 14. Refer to 

Section 3: Regeneration Instructions, 

on 

 

how to set control valve for proper set up and regen-

 eration 

settings.

 

NOTE: Regeneration settings for the control valve

 

are factory preset. The control valve design permits 

 

adjustment of the salt setting. This adjustment may 

 

be necessary when unusual operating conditions

 

exist, such as high concentrations of iron, mang-

2-3

Some areas prohibit the use of flexible drain lines.
Check with local code officials prior to installation.

Figure 3.  TYPICAL DRAIN

Step 8.  Position DRAIN LINE over drain and secure firmly.

To prevent backsiphoning of waste water, provide
an air gap of at least 2 in. or 2 pipe diameters
between end of drain hose and drain (Figure 3).

DO

NOT

raise DRAIN LINE more than 10 ft. above floor.

Step 9. Connect one end of the 3/8 in. black Polyethylene
 

tubing to the brine fitting located on the left side of

 

the CONTROL VALVE. Connect the other end to

 

the SAFETY BRINE VALVE ELBOW inside of the 

 

brine well in the brine tank. To do so remove the

 

retaining clip from the brine line fitting on the control

 

valve. The retaining clip is holding a plastic insert

 

sleeve and needs to be inserted into the polyethylene

 

tubing before installing the tubing into the fitting

 

elbow and hand tighten only. 

CAUTION: Do not 

 

use pliers or wrenches to tighten the fitting as 
damage may occur and will void the manu-

 facturer’s 

warranty.
