Assembly and Parts, Cont.
Bypass Valve Assembly Cont.
90252 Blending
Dial Cap
The Cap should be held in place by the three 1/2-inch self-tapping screws and be in the proper
orientation.
90222 Blending
Dial
The Dial permits the addition of “untreated water” into the soft water outlet. It is closed when pointing
toward the Main Control Valve and open when pointing toward the inlet side.
90226 Test Port
Valve
The Test Port Valve is used to draw water samples from the unit. When the Bypass Valve is in the
Service position, the water tested should be soft, treated water. When the Bypass Valve is in Bypass
position, the water treated is from the raw, incoming water supply.
Note: There are two types of seals on the Test Port. One seal is an O-Ring which seals off the
threaded area when the Valve is opened. The other seal is a compression O-Ring seal between the
Test Port Valve material and the Bypass Housing. If this seal is “overtightened,” it can damage the
O-Ring and cause a permanent leak.
93777 Turbine
Sensor Wire with
Cap
Picks up the magnetic field from the Turbine and relays it to the Controller. Care should be taken
when putting the Sensor Wire into the Sensor Housing. The cap is then put in place and the
self-tapping mounting screw is installed. A slot is provided in the cap for the wire to exit. The
three-wire socket connector must be properly installed in the controller. Stops on the connector
prevent improper (upside down) assembly. Do not force the connector past the stops.
54320 Plastic
Turbine Axle
Sits on a ridge in the Main Control Valve side of the outlet stream of the Bypass Valve Assembly.
Needs to fit around the Turbine Sensor Housing (93271) when assembled. If the Plastic Turbine Axle
is not correctly seated, the Sensor Wire may not sense the Turbine magnet.
90522 Turbine
Assembly
The Turbine must have a 1/8-inch diameter Rare Earth magnet pressed into place adjacent to the
axle opening. When assembled to the axle, the Turbine should spin freely. Do not use any lubricants.
If the Turbine should become “jammed,” clean and flush the Turbine and Bypass Valve.
54600 Bypass
Valve Assembly
Makes the connection between the plumbing and the appliance. The Bypass Valve Assembly allows
water to bypass the appliance for service or when untreated water is desired. The recommended seal
for the 1-1/4-inch male inlet-outlet threads is the plastic Bypass Nut (90251), O-Ring (90837), and
1-inch CPVC CTS Adapter (90259). Make sure the O-Ring is between the Bypass Valve Assembly
and the flange on the CPVC Adapter. The O-Ring seal areas at the Main Control Valve inlet and outlet
must be smooth, free of defects and debris, and lubricated with silicone grease before assembling.
When attaching to the Main Control Valve, put the O-Rings on the male bosses on the Main Control
Valve and push the Bypass Valve Assembly into place; if not, the O-Rings may be “pinched.” If the
O-Rings get pinched, replace with new ones. The Bypass Valve Assembly is pre-assembled and is
not considered field-serviceable. If the Bypass Valve Assembly is damaged it must be replaced with a
new assembly.
