A minimum of 25 psi of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate 
effectively. 

 

It is established that when daytime water pressure exceeds 80 psi (5.5 bar), the water 
pressure risks exceeding the softener’s maximum pressure rating of 125 psi (8.6 bar). A 
pressure regulator must be installed on this system to avoid pressures over 100 psi or 
warranty is voided. 

 

If suspended solids are present in the water, install a prefiltration system in the water 
supply line.  

 

A continuous 115 Volt, 60 Hertz current supply is required. Make certain the current 
supply is always energized and cannot be turned off with another switch. 

 

Condition of existing plumbing should be free from hardness scale and iron buildup. 
Piping that is built up heavily with hardness scale and/or iron should be replaced If piping 
is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit should be installed ahead of the water 
softener. 

 

Always provide for the installation of a bypass valve. 

 

Do not install the system where it would block access to the water heater, main water 
shutoff, water meter, or electrical panels. 

 

Install the system in a place where water damage is least likely to occur if a leak 
develops. 

 

If risk of vacuum exists, install Lync vacuum relief valve (part number: 123318) in the 
supply line to protect the system against vacuum damage. 

 

NOTES: 

It is required to install a water sample port before and after the water softener system to 
monitor system’s performance. Make sure water sample ports are closed during installation 
and operation. 

If lubricant is required, a silicone compound is strongly recommended. Dow Corning® 
Silicone Compound (available from Watts), is recommended for best possible results. 
Dow Corning® 7 Release Compound is used in the manufacture of this control valve. The 
use of other types of lubricants may attack the 

control’s plastic or rubber components. 

Petroleum-based lubricants can cause swelling in rubber parts, including O-rings and 
seals. 

 

WARNINGS! 

Do not exceed water pressure of 125psi (8.5 bar).  

Do not exceed water temperature of 110°F (43°C).  

Do not subject unit to freezing conditions.
