LOCATE DEALKALIZER
1. Select a location that is accessible and near a floor drain that has adequate carrying capacity
to handle the backwash flow. See specification table for the flow rate.
2. Erect the mineral tanks on a concrete or other firm foundation and level.
3. Position the brine tank according to the illustration and supplementary brine tank information.
Keep the brine tank as close as possible to the mineral tanks.
Note:
The distance between the mineral tanks and brine tanks will affect the brine injector
performance, as the distance increases the injector performance decreases. This may
cause an inadequate regeneration.
4. A grounded electric receptacle is required for the control valves.
LOAD DEALKALIZER TANK
1. On tank sizes 12 inches and smaller the media has been pre-loaded at the factory. Skip this
section and go to “Mount Control Valve Assembly”.
2. Fill tank approximately 1/3 full of water using a hose, bucket, etc. Plug the PVC distributor
manifold pipe using a plastic cap, cork, rag, etc.
No
gravel or resin should go into this
distributor manifold pipe.
3. Verify the distributor manifold is center in the tank with the distributor resting on the bottom of
the tank. Verify the riser pipe is still plugged.
Note
: Reference the specification table in the front of this manual for the correct quantities of
gravel and resin. These quantities are for each tank. Make sure you have the required
amounts on site before you begin.
4. With care not to damage any lateral, pour in the gravel provided for each tank through the
top opening in the tank and level out evenly. This will cover the distributor assembly.
Note
: Wetting the gravel in the bags before loading will eliminate the normal amount of dust.
5. When gravel is loaded and leveling is completed, proceed as follows:
6. With the distributor riser pipe still plugged, add the proper amount of resin supplied for each
tank through the top opening in the tank.
Caution
: The softener resin is very slippery. Take care when stepping on any spilled resin.
Remove spilled resin from standing surface immediately.
7. When loading is complete, remove plastic cap, cork, or rag that was used to plug the
distributor riser pipe. Be careful not to let any foreign debris fall into the pipe. The result
could be damage to system.
8. Repeat instruction steps 1-7 for each softener.
