INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WATER SOFTENERS
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Operating pressure range is 30-100 psi. If pressures over 100 psi are encountered, a regulator must be installed.
NOTE:
The control valve will not operate correctly if feeding into an atmospheric tank. A pressure control device
must be added to the outlet to maintain the minimum pressure.
2. Power requirements are shown on inside cover of the control valve. You can also tell by wire color on the motor:
Black wires are 115 volt. Yellow wires are 220 volt. Blue wires are 24 volt.
3. Standard units are designed to soften unheated water not to exceed 100F. Special valve assemblies are available
to handle heated water supplies exceeding 100 F. Consult factory if applicable.
4. Each softener tank is shipped with distributor manifold and control valve preassembled. Take care when uncrating
and erecting so that no items are damaged.
5. The distributor assembly has been shipped inside the fiberglass mineral tank. Check to make sure that there is no
damage to the riser pipe, baskets, laterals, or hub prior to loading media.
NOTE: A prefilter should be used on installations in which free solids are present.
LOCATE SOFTENER
1. Select a location that is accessible and near a floor drain that has adequate carrying capacity to handle
the softener regeneration flow. See specification table for the flow rate. Allow a minimum of 24” above the
tank for loading media.
2. Erect the softener tank(s) on a concrete or other firm foundation and level
NOTE:
If the system is skid mounted, it may be prepiped and preloaded at the factory. Skip the following instructions
and go to the section “Installation of Connection Piping” if unit is preloaded.
3. Position the brine tank according to the illustration and supplementary brine tank information. Keep the brine tank
as close as possible to the softener tank(s).
NOTE:
The distance between the softener and brine tanks will affect the brine injector performance, as the distance
increases the injector performance decreases. This may cause an inadequate regeneration. Maximum
recommended distance is 5 ft.
4. A grounded electric receptacle is required for the control valve transformer.
