Typical High Temperature Installation
4.
Connect the inlet/outlet adapters leading to the conditioner using a minimum of ¾” plumbing. Plumb as
necessary to accommodate by-pass valving and to complete the installation.
A scorch pad must be used to protect any surface that may be exposed to a torch flame or
excessive heat.
When installing a plastic component in line, it is recommended that grounding straps be put in
place before the lines are actually cut to ensure that the ground is never broken.
Do not solder brass adapters while inserted in the module main base. Damage to the plastic
and rubber parts may result due to the heat. Also, the materials used in the soldering process
may attack certain types of plastics. Care should be taken during the installation process to
assure that solder and flux do not come in contact with media tanks, the control module and
related plastic components.
Proper ventilation must be provided when using pvc cleaner or glue.
Loose clothing (ie.- shirt tails, sleeves, etc.) should not be worn or should be addressed before
using a torch for soldering.
5. After all plumbing is completed, but before connecting equipment, flush both the inlet and outlet lines by
opening the by-pass valve and allowing water to rinse out any debris in the lines.
6. An air gap must be provided for all drain lines. Check local and state plumbing codes for the proper
setup of drain line air gaps.
7. Run a drain line to discharge point. FOLLOW STATE AND LOCAL CODES . Before connecting unit, check
for any obstructions or kinks. Apply Teflon tape to pipe threads on side of softener valve, and install the two
fittings supplied. Connect drain line to valve.
On drain lines that must travel more than 8 feet up and 30 feet over, it is best to take
the 5/8” drain
line that fits the valve and attach it in a larger diameter line or pipe. This will eliminate chances of
restrictions. Running drain line higher than 10 feet will inhibit the ability of the venturi to draw brine.
8. In KineticoPRO Softeners, the brine drum mixes and stores a solution of salt for regeneration of
the softener media. During the brine rinse cycle, this solution is drawn from the brine drum and
through the media to regenerate it.
The brine drum contains an adjustment to draw the correct amount of salt solution for each cycle.
This adjustment is made in two places: the adjuster tube and the float cup. The adjuster tube
measures the amount of solution that is drawn from the brine drum into the softener during the
brine rinse cycle. The float cup height determines how much softened water flows back into the
brine drum to prepare for the next regeneration.
